China urges South Korea, Japan to uphold free trade at three-way summit
China’s second-highest official has urged Japan and South Korea to reject protectionism and uphold globalisation as the countries commenced their first trilateral summit in nearly five years.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang made the remarks on Monday during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Yeok-seol in Seoul, marking their first three-way meeting since December 2019.
Although the three leaders aim to promote greater economic cooperation during the summit, the agenda has been overshadowed by North Korea’s announcement of its plan to launch a satellite into orbit between 27 May and 4 June.

Trilateral free trade deal will never come true when Japan and SK are manipulated by US.
日本は韓国中国との団結を求めています。アジアの団結👍
Keeping USA military base in own country n talking about North Korea's denuclearisation is irrelevant.
🇨🇳will backstab them both.
Edit: And colonize both; the UN will do NOTHING, as usual.
china❤️north korea
❤️good friendship👍👍
China talking about free trade after banning import of 90% of foreign products 😂😂..Dictator Xi is a big joker
China is the main culprit behind North Korea 😂
Nothing good can happen in the world until American hegemony is strong.
China and Russia are trying their best to save the world. But as America wants to reduce the population of the world no good step by any country is working.
Asian people need to unite. Caucasian people hate them.
Japan, and korea never trust on China.
China called everyone to uphold free trade but china doesn't follow the rule lol. China only do things that's benefit them, not anyone else lol
Japan n south korea cannot oppose usa
What Korea needs is not China or Japan. North Korea, that is, South Korea, seems to need a unified Korea. Then, about 30 years after unification, it will likely be a country with a population of 100 million and the world's third largest economy and military power.
Seeing that Korea has grown from one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the richest in just a few decades, I am looking forward to a unified Korea.
Why would China talk to two loyal dogs of US?
Asian Countries must be unite one day rather than fighting
The 21st C belongs to Asia
Things have changed a lot since the end of the Cold War, now many countries are seeing who's the real culprit that causes so much harm in the world and pretends to follow good values human rights and all that BS but in reality, the strategy is to divide and conquer
Stop being puppet everything will be stable
Luckily the US 🇺🇸 was not invited in the summit or else the US will ruin the purpose of this summit.
Communist play dirty games yet they want other play by the rule
Good❤
wait, China no include North Korea…?
又要死人了
我记得上次 日本的一个官员直接在马路上猝死…
