TOKYO -- China on Friday kicked off a new international mediation body, based in Hong Kong and backed by mostly friendly states, just as U.S. President Donald Trump's "America First" doctrine shakes the foundations of existing global mechanisms.
A total of 32 signatories including China attended the launch ceremony for the International Organization for Mediation, or IOMed. In total, over 80 countries and 20 international organizations sent representatives.
