Steph Deschamps / September 10, 2025

China on Thursday refuted President Donald Trump's claim that Chinese President Xi Jinping was “conspiring” against the United States with the Russian and North Korean leaders who were received in Beijing for a military parade.
“China develops its diplomatic relations with all countries, without ever targeting a third party,” Guo Jiakun, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry told reporters in Beijing.
China, Russia and North Korea are not conspiring against the United States, the Kremlin had already refuted on Wednesday.
“I would like to say that no one has hatched a plot, no one has invented anything,” Yuri Ushakov, foreign policy advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, told Russian state television.
Donald Trump addressed Chinese President Xi Jinping directly in a post on his Truth Social platform, saying, “Please convey my warmest greetings to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against the United States of America.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman also described as “irresponsible” comments made by the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, who had described the meeting between the three leaders as a “direct challenge” to the international order.
This meeting not only sends out “anti-Western signals”, it also represents a “direct challenge to the rules-based international system, and this is not just symbolic”, Kaja Kallas denounced on Wednesday.
"Putin, Kim and Xi appeared together in public for the first time, projecting a vision of peace through the barrel of a gun. This is not what peace means for Europe", she continued.
