China has ‘no information’ on whether US leader will attend parade but one observer says it is ‘only appropriate’ to invite wartime ally
A Kyodo report on Sunday citing unnamed sources said that China was planning to invite Trump to its Victory Parade in Tiananmen Square on September 3, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
When asked to comment on the report on Monday, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said she did not have “any information to provide” on the matter.
Some three weeks earlier, after a long-awaited phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping as trade tensions spiralled, Trump said that a trip to China may happen “at a certain point”.
