BEIJING: China and Russia condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile defence shield plans and Washington's "irresponsible" nuclear policy at a joint summit on Wednesday, a week after President Xi Jinping hosted Trump in Beijing.
The joint statement with Russian President Vladimir Putin served to underline that, while Xi seeks stable and constructive relations with Trump, he differs fundamentally with him on key issues where China's position is closely aligned with Russia's.
