BEIJING, Sept 26 ― China is willing to play a “constructive” role in the success of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco, its top diplomat said today, after President Xi Jinping's absence at the annual Group of 20 summit in India.
Xi, with no official explanation, did not go to the G20 summit in New Delhi this month, with the Chinese premier, Li Qiang, attending in his place. That prompted the United States to say China was “giving up” on the G20 and was building an alternative world order. China is in communication with the relevant parties, and will make an announcement in due time, Wang added.
At the same news conference, Wang said, without naming any country, that China opposed “wanton” expansion of military alliances that squeeze the security space of other countries.
