The Trump administration in the United States is pushing to restart peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Moscow proposed holding a trilateral meeting with the United States and China during the APEC summit in Shenzhen to try to reach an agreement without excluding Ukraine and the European Union. Experts believe that China's participation in the meeting is intended to symbolically support Putin, rather than act as a mediator.

Protests have recently broken out in many European countries, involving France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and other countries. People mainly expressed their dissatisfaction with cuts in education funding, high living costs, housing crisis and government austerity policies. Violent conflicts and confrontations between police and citizens occurred in some cities.

"Business Daily" reporter in China pointed out that the Chinese people's impression of Germany is changing from admiration to ridicule, involving the decline in the attractiveness of German manufacturing, transportation and education. At the same time, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung analyzed that although the Sino-US trade war is in a ceasefire extension, it is difficult for the two sides to make substantive compromises on core conflicts.

A former Chinese diplomat, Cui Hongjian, warns the EU that viewing China's trade concessions as a result of pressure is a misjudgment, noting that Beijing's willingness to negotiate on EV exports is driven by economic ties, not fear of confrontation.

Roh Jae-hun, the South Korean ambassador to China, said he looked forward to the upcoming APEC meeting in Shenzhen as an opportunity to further deepen practical cooperation between South Korea and China in the fields of artificial intelligence, biomedicine and renewable energy, and to strengthen youth and cultural exchanges between the two countries to welcome the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

In an interview with Fox News, Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed his willingness to freeze existing fronts in order to end the war. He emphasized that any peace agreement must include security guarantees provided by the United States and Europe, and reiterated that Ukraine must participate in all relevant negotiations to ensure that the country is no longer threatened by aggression in the future.
