China's Foreign Ministry just confirmed Putin's November visit. Now all eyes on whether Trump locks in his trip.
Key context: Recent US-China summit produced 8-point consensus including mutual support for each other's multilateral events. Both sides preliminarily confirmed attendance.
If Trump shows up for APEC (Nov 17-19), this would be his first face-to-face with Putin in 14 months. Could this be the inflection point for the Russia-Ukraine conflict?
Practical note for those in Shenzhen: If both leaders confirm, expect airport-level security. Flights, border crossings will be locked down tight in the days leading up to APEC. Plan accordingly.
