China has expressed dissatisfaction with the upcoming meeting, which is planned to discuss the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and will be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, sources familiar with China's position say, according to Reuters.
According to the agency, Donald Trump plans to use these negotiations to advance the idea of a trilateral agreement on nuclear arms control. At the same time, Beijing sees its role in this discussion as less significant, because its nuclear capabilities are significantly less powerful than those of Russia and the United States.
