A Japanese newspaper has raised the possibility of Chinese President Xi Jinping also travelling to Singapore when US President Donald Trump meets North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for an unprecedented summit on June 12.
The Mainichi Shimbun's Washington-based correspondent cited American diplomatic sources as saying there was a chance that Mr Xi may meet Mr Trump and Mr Kim in Singapore.
In the report published on Friday (May 11), the Mainichi quoted a senior international negotiator with the National Security Council as telling reporters that "there is a possibility" the leader of a third country may take part
Mr Trump announced via a tweet on Thursday (May 10) that his summit with Mr Kim will be held on June 12 in Singapore.
As of Friday morning, there were no news reports on North Korean media outlets of the date and venue of Mr Kim's meeting with Mr Trump, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.
When asked at a regular press briefing on the Chinese president's travel plans, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not answer the question.
In response to a question posed by Japan's Kyodo news agency whether Mr Xi will be visiting Singapore before, after or on June 12, Mr Geng Shuang replied: "We hope that the meeting of the leaders of the DPRK and the United States will achieve positive results."
When asked by South Korea's Yonhap news agency on China's expectations of the high-stakes summit, Mr Geng said that "China welcomes the positive progress made by the leaders of the DPRK and the United States in preparing for the preparations for the summit".

Exactly.
The NPRK agrees to denuclearize the peninsula but is return for that and for China's backing and support the USA gives into China's one side trade, not normalize trade and address tariffs (which on their side averages 8%) and is responsible for the $400 annual trade deficit the USA has with them.
I consider that hate speech. Treasonous. This is the WORST CASE SCENARIO. If that happens it will be the end of MAGA and Trump. Say hello to Democrats and socialism.
This is why we hate you Free Traitors. Bannon warned us about trading tariffs for a treaty with NORK. THIS WOULD SUCK.
Have you been to China?
Any of Asia?
Yes, I have.
Much hustle and bustling, you often see the extended family working some machine, the children helping and doing homework all in a small shop.
For the only way to make is successful is to keep the means of production working 24/7.
America used to be like this, long ago.
You were sold out before you were born.
Time to get used to your new Chinese overlords.
And welcome them.
Chinese cuisine is excellent.
Enjoy!
You are a Free Traitor. Screw you.
Not certain but, sounds a bit hostile?
More like what I would expect from devout New York City type.
Are you actually from Virginia, or is that a fake facade?
Your computer and the monitor you use came from Asia, for sure.
I see this as a tease leading up to an actual attendance. China should be part of the discussions.
The Showman builds up a dramatic scenario.
Even the Goebbelsmedia will have to devote hours of time to covering it. It would not want to disappoint China.
China is not ideologically committed to NK, strategic aims aside, and sees no profit in an economical basket case, a holdover from Stalinism.
You are a Monomaniac.
Now you are heading down the Rabbit Hole, my sympathies.
I wonder what dramatic scene he and UN have dreamed up for the Fake Media.
But, heck, Trump is probably in on the Kabuki.
That’s diplomacy!
All you say, but...
China (and Russia too, somewhat) wants to develop and use NK’s all-weather ports.
Needs US approval because most of the goods that go through would be US-bound, or from US. Also needs Japanese acquiesence.
Nah ... North Korea & Chinas trade surplus with the US are separate issues. Trump is too savvy to allow the two to become entangled.
Singapore is the ‘second wealthiest place in the world’.... Only Qatar surpasses it.
****************************************
Singapore is an example of what a VERY small country with no resources can accomplish if it puts its mind to it. Perhaps theres a lesson to be learned by the people in the Gaza Stripif they choose to learn it.
They grew because not only did they have strict laws and punishments but they enforced them regardless of who you were, and it is still so today....When there is law and order in a country and an open door for business as they did and have today..growth will happen.
I read if you chew gum and spit it on the street it’s a $1000. fine!Rules are pretty strict.
I don’t trust either one but if they think they’re going to get us to leave so they can take over, they haven’t been paying attention to how Trump works.
You globalist don’t get it. Politically you are on the way out. I can always count on you to take the bait. Religious Globalist zealots always do.
