The Chinese Foreign Ministry says it opposes the meeting, and criticized the gathering as illegitimate.

LU KANG CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON "Since this meeting does not have legitimacy or representativeness, China has opposed the meeting from the very beginning. While countries are committed to finding a proper solution for the peaceful settlement of the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, some parties are holding such a meeting in the name of the so-called United Nations command during the Cold War era. We do not know what the purpose of convening such a meeting is. So I want to reiterate that China has been opposed to this meeting from the very beginning."
