    S. Korea, Japan, China summit: What's NOT on the agenda? | DW News

    04:07S. Korea, Japan, China summit: What's NOT on the agenda? | DW News
    • Well, the expectations are pretty low given the context you just mentioned. The South Korean government released the agenda. It included climate change, trade, health, aging, technology, disasters, but it didn't include regional security really, or it made vague allusions to promoting international peace. When looking around the region, there is certainly security tension, especially given China's recent military exercises surrounding Taiwan. So that discussion is something that many observers suggest may take place in the background and really needs to be addressed moving forward, Michael. And Frank, following up on the thread that you're weaving there, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping won't be attending. Does this tell us something about the current diplomatic relations between these countries and what can actually be accomplished at these talks? I think certainly it does. South Korea and Japan are allies of the United States.
