China will seek to keep Group of 20 leaders focused on economic development when they meet next month in Hangzhou.
When asked whether China will allow discussion of the South China Sea issue during the Sept. 4-5 summit meeting, Vice Foreign Minister Li Baodong said leaders shouldn’t be distracted by other topics.
