Global attention turns to San Francisco this week as U.S. leader Joe Biden prepares to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the APEC Leaders' Meeting – dubbed the 'Super Bowl of World Economies.' This marks their first face-to-face discussion since November 2022's G20 summit in Bali, where many hoped for détente in U.S.-China tensions.
Why it matters: With trade wars, tech decoupling, and global supply chain shifts dominating headlines, analysts say this meeting could redefine economic cooperation. The White House confirms trade will top the agenda – especially crucial as businesses worldwide seek stability amid rising costs.
Behind the scenes: Biden faces domestic pressure over Middle East policies while seeking China's partnership on climate and debt crises. Could this be a reset moment? CGTN commentator Stephen Ndegwa notes: 'The U.S. might need China's counsel more than ever – but real progress requires meeting halfway.'
Market watchers are hopeful: APEC's 21 members represent 60% of global GDP. Any breakthrough could boost everything from semiconductor supplies to your next electric vehicle price tag.
