## retained text



```
China appeared to move towards improving ties with the US ahead of two summits between the superpowers’ leaders due to be held by year end.
Members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum voiced fears that their concerns — including disputed territorial claims — were being deprioritized by China, which is exploring moving key elements of an upcoming APEC meeting online in order to prioritize talks with Washington, the Financial Times said.
While a recent summit in the US failed to deliver significant breakthroughs, the two countries are nevertheless considering reciprocal nuclear site inspections when their leaders meet in Shenzhen next month, CNN reported; Beijing has in the past been reluctant to enter into any arms control regime with Washington.
