China's President Xi Jinping wants a cooperative security group that includes Russia and Iran, but excludes the United States.The Chinese leader made these remarks in Shanghai at the Conference on Internaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia. Other leaders attending the conference included Russian President Vladimir Putin. CBS reports that Jinping said that "Korea, Thailand and Turkey, should become a 'security dialogue and cooperation platform' and should 'establish a defense consultation mechanism, Xi said. He said it should create a 'security response center' for major emergencies." Experts have opined that these statements are unlikely to result in a real security alliance, however Putin's presence at the meeting was significant.
