China has confirmed receiving an invitation to join United States President Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace,” a body reportedly aimed at addressing major global security and conflict issues. Beijing acknowledged the development on Tuesday, noting that discussions around the initiative are still at an early stage and that no formal commitment has yet been made.

Chinese officials said the country is reviewing the proposal while emphasizing its long-standing position on multilateralism and dialogue as tools for resolving international disputes. Beijing reiterated that any framework for global peace must respect international law, the role of existing institutions, and the interests of all parties, rather than serve narrow political objectives.

The invitation comes amid complex and often tense relations between Washington and Beijing, marked by strategic rivalry alongside areas of cautious engagement. Observers say China’s response to the proposal could signal whether the initiative evolves into a serious diplomatic platform or remains largely symbolic, as global attention focuses on how major powers navigate cooperation in an increasingly divided world.
