China unexpectedly changed the agenda.
The war in Ukraine will not be on the agenda of the upcoming trilateral talks between the leaders of China, the United States, and Russia, which may take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Shenzhen on November 18–19, according to South China Morning Post (SCMP). According to them, along with the military conflict in Ukraine, the issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula was excluded from the list of possible topics for discussion. The publication’s sources explained that the Chinese side wants the war in Ukraine to be discussed directly between Russia and the U.S., and the situation on the Korean Peninsula between Washington and Pyongyang.
Instead, the parties will focus on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in nuclear command and control systems, the SCMP’s sources noted. The U.S. also insists on discussing nuclear arms control among the three countries, but China has long opposed such a format. According to one of the publication’s sources, Beijing has proposed discussing transparency in the nuclear sphere as an alternative to full-fledged negotiations on strategic stability. The leaders may also issue a joint statement declaring that nuclear war is unacceptable.
Meanwhile, preparations for the meeting between Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin are proceeding slowly. It took a week to finalize the agenda and protocol. However, the leaders’ busy schedules during APEC could pose an obstacle to the talks, notes the SCMP.
Previously, sources at The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that during their most recent phone call, Putin proposed to Trump that they organize a meeting with the Chinese leader on the sidelines of the summit in Shenzhen. A former Russian intelligence officer noted that Putin views such talks as a second Yalta Conference, at which Russia, the U.S., and China could divide the world into spheres of influence. As part of this, Putin hoped to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine on his own terms, the WSJ noted.
Earlier, Trump had said he was ready to take part in trilateral talks, but “not so much for Ukraine’s sake” as to discuss the issue of nuclear weapons.
