United Morning Post reported today: "China confirmed on Tuesday (January 20) having received an invitation from the United States to join the Peace Council."

Comment briefly: Trump has set a price of $1 billion for a permanent seat in the Peace Council, and will also retain ultimate decision-making power in the organization. This kind of rule that sets a financial threshold and is dominated by individual will deviates from the basic principle of equal consultation in international affairs. China has always firmly upheld the central role of the United Nations in international peace matters. The response merely confirmed the facts, leaving room for future developments.
