China tries to use Trump turmoil to unite leaders against U.S.-led order

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has welcomed a large group of foreign dignitaries to China for meetings that he hopes will unite regional powers in their shared grievances with the U.S.-led global order and the policies of President Donald Trump.

Vladimir Putin of Russia, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus and India’s Narendra Modi are among 20 foreign leaders attending the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, which began Sunday in this port city 90 miles southeast of Beijing.
