China confirms discussions are underway on a historic Xi-Trump-Putin meeting
Experts say the meeting could be mostly symbolic, with China choreographing a photo opportunity and avoiding substantive talks on Ukraine or arms control.
- Beijing confirmed on Friday it is "in communication with relevant parties" regarding a potential meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Shenzhen this month. Nothing is finalized for the APEC summit.
- Russia is reportedly the primary driver behind the trilateral push, viewing the potential summit as a "diplomatic coup," said former State Department official Danny Russel. Trump expressed interest in nuclear arms control discussions.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer urged Beijing on Friday to take "concrete actions to fully implement its past commitments" on agricultural purchases and minerals. Xinhua reported both sides held "constructive exchanges" during the video call.
- Craig Singleton of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies warned the meeting may be a "photo opportunity" with "diminishing diplomatic returns." Sun Yun of the Stimson Center noted China must manage Russian manipulation regarding Ukraine.
- The potential summit coincides with a fragile trade truce set to expire in January. Officials emphasized the gathering "should not be equated to three great powers dividing up the world," focusing on broader regional significance.
