China, Japan and South Korea will convene a long-delayed summit despite differences on global conflicts and the unlikelihood of fruitful trade talks. All three countries share a desire to stabilise the region, especially given potential uncertainties stemming from the coming US presidential election.
It will be the first such meeting since December 2019. The three Asian countries were unable to hold a #TrilateralSummit due to a deterioration in Japan-South Korea relations and the #COVID19 pandemic.

Unlike in Japan's neighbor #SouthKorea, where U.S. and South Korean troops can operate under a unified command of a four-star general, U.S. air, land and sea forces in Japan are currently subordinate to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
Washington will now consider appointing a four-star commander in Japan, laying the groundwork for a future unified Japanese-U.S. command. #TrilateralSummit
