## Summary

China said it is discussing a possible meeting between the Chinese, US and Russian leaders during this month’s APEC gathering in Shenzhen. If it takes place, it would be the first three-way summit involving Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, with potential implications for diplomacy and perceptions of global influence.

The meeting is being considered for 18 or 19 November. The Kremlin said in October that preparations were under way; Xi and Trump have met twice this year and are due to meet again at a G20 summit in December, while Xi and Putin last met in May. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that such a summit could resemble the 1945 Yalta Conference and give Russia a diplomatic advantage.
