Trump said during an interview on Air Force One today (Beijing Time February 20): "I hope China and Russia will join the Peace Council. They have been invited."
[Clever] Comment: Trump's way of thinking is really unconventional. If Trump's "Peace Council" aims to undermine the UN Security Council, China and Russia definitely would not choose to join. The so-called invitation to China and Russia is just an attempt to get the two major countries to endorse his unilateral agenda, turning international multilateral mechanisms into a private stage where the US has the final say. The UN Security Council is the core pillar of the post-WWII international order, not a political tool that can be manipulated at will by an individual. This approach of bypassing the existing framework and setting up a small circle is essentially driven by hegemonic thinking, which is neither legal nor reasonable. Therefore, China and Russia naturally will not participate in this self-deceptive farce, nor will they endorse America's unilateral ambitions.
