Beijing opposes including the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the agenda of the proposed negotiations between Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, Reuters reports, citing sources familiar with the Chinese side's position.
According to the agency, Trump intends to use the negotiations to advance the idea of a tripartite nuclear arms control agreement. Beijing, however, sees itself as a less influential participant in such a dialogue, due to the fact that its nuclear arsenal is inferior to those of Russia and the United States.
