The summit, upon which so many hopes were placed, seems to be gradually losing its strength. The thing is that the USA and China are slowly distancing themselves from the event, and each are naming different reasons. It recently became known what Beijing justified its refusal with.
Reasons for China’s refusal
According to three sources, Beijing rejected the invitation because the participation conditions were not met, including the presence of representatives from Russia and Ukraine. This became one of the main reasons for China’s refusal to participate in the summit, although, it should be noted that the reason is not the only one.
Experts also speak about the fact that previous information about the absence of the US President influenced this decision: these two countries are currently the carriers of global moods, their position is capable of changing what is happening. Since there won’t be high American leadership at the summit, therefore, crucial decisions will not be made.
