The Chinese leader refused to discuss Ukraine in the upcoming meeting with Putin and Trump, the war in Ukraine will not be on the agenda of the upcoming trilateral talks between the leaders of China, the US and Russia, which may take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19, informed sources told the South China Daily (SCMP). According to them, along with the military conflict in Ukraine, the issue of the disarmament of the Korean peninsula was not included among the possible topics for discussion. The researchers of the publication explained that the Chinese side wants to discuss directly between Russia and the USA, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula between Washington and Pyongyang. Instead, the parties will focus on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the command and control systems of nuclear forces, the SCMP brokers said. The US also insists on discussing nuclear arms control in the three countries, but China has opposed such a format. According to one of the sources, Beijing offered to discuss nuclear transparency as an alternative to full negotiations on strategic stability. Leaders can also issue a joint statement on the incapacity of nuclear war. Follow @moscowtimes ru buy a trusted VPN.
