Public opinion in many countries in the world is still worried about the conflict of Evania, and the 30th Leadership Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) debuted in San Francisco, California, California.
The leaders and senior officials and private enterprise leaders of 21 economies in the Asia -Pacific region in the United States, China, Japan, and Japan will gather together to focus on discussing "Creating A Resilient and Sustainable FutureFor all), specific topics will involve promoting trade and investment, gender equality, clean energy and environment.
Since the first meeting in Black Island, Seattle, USA in 1993, the members of APEC have expanded from the original 12 to 21. The members across Asia, North America and South America.38%and achieved 48%global trade.
At the moment when the global decourse disconnection chain and "risk" have become the situation, the significance of APEC's meaning of economic integration cannot be ignored.The dispute settlement mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been suspended for four years. APEC, as a unreasonable platform, has allowed members to hatch some projects through voluntary negotiation.
In 2023 APEC San Francisco Conference, another attracted concern is undoubtedly the first Summit of the China -US dollar on November 15, the Summit meeting of the Sino -US dollar.
This is the second face -to -face meeting in China and the United States since the US President Biden took office. At the same time, it was the official Chinese official after six and a half years.In November last year, Chinese officials released a lot of positive information after meeting with Biden in Bali, Indonesia. For example, the United States did not seek a new cold war and did not intend to seek "decoupling" with China; China did not seek to change its existing international order and did not intentionally challenge the United States.wait.
But it is not necessary to ignore that in order to achieve the San Francisco meeting, both China and the United States have made a lot of compromises.Since June this year, the United States has continuously dispatched senior management to visit China to ease the atmosphere of bilateral relations.In response to the difficulty of Hong Kong's Chief Executive Li Jiachao's sanctions, the two sides eventually took the United States to issue invitations. Li Jiachao did not attend the APEC to resolve the embarrassment because of the schedule, and created a down step for each other.It should be said that Beijing has also made a considerable degree.
A week before APEC, China -US interaction is more frequent. In addition to Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng's visit to the United States with US Treasury Secretary Yellen, China and the United States also held the first round of marine affairs consultation, climate change talks, military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control and military control.A video conference on the work of anti -nuclear diffusion negotiations, searching for US prisoners of war and the remains of the missing personnel, also held 2023 Sino -US Forum in Hong Kong, which is dizzying.
The two major powers are tolerated to approach each other, and the root cause is still unable to get rid of interdependence.China's development of the economy still requires the capital and technology of the United States; and the loss of China's huge market, American companies will also be re -created, and they will make market share to competitors.In order to bypass the US export ban, Nvidia has quickly launched three modified chips for the Chinese market, which is a proof.
On the most sensitive Taiwan issue, although the ultimate goals of China and the United States are different, maintaining the status quo is still the biggest interests of each other now.The Russian and Ukraine War and the Harbin conflict have burned the two ends of the American candles. Facing the presidential election next year, President Bayeng also needs to cooperate with China more to improve the domestic economy.Therefore, the San Francisco Xi Make -worship is the last window period of Bayeng's improvement of relations with China. After the official start of the election campaign next year, Sino -US relations have to rely on his agenda.
There are also American scholars optimistic.SCOTT Kennedy, a senior adviser to the International Strategic Research Center of the United States (CSIS), attended the Caixin Summit in Beijing last week. It is difficult for Sino -US relations to return to the "honeymoon period" many years ago, but at least entered the "fragile and stable period".The existing structural factors make China and the United States in a non -conflict competition, but the mutual dependence and strength of the two sides restrict each other, which means that the two sides will be more in a stable state of a power balance.
After a year of falling, China and the United States came to San Francisco, which reflected the "fragile and stable" side of the relationship.Of course, this does not mean that the fierce competition between China and the United States will alleviate the slightest.Last week, the United States was still in a hurry to complete an agreement with the member states of the Indo -Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), in order to announce the announcement of the clean -up and fair economic topics during the APEC meeting.The Biden government tried to show the APEC members who led the IPEF initiative to show a choice different from the APEC members than to deepen the economy with China.However, according to Reuters, people familiar with the matter, the discussion on the Digital Trade Chapters has fallen into a stop due to the inaccurate US position.IPEF has 14 member states, and China is not among them.
This also clearly shows that Sino -US relations will continue to surge undercurrent.The head of state must be held, and there must be no difference, but the situation of competition between China and the United States will not cause essential changes.
At this time, the center of San Francisco has been renewed, and we will fully welcome the event.At noon just over Sunday, about 3,000 people demonstrated on the streets of the city center, requesting that the U.S. government was required to stop Israeli bombardment in the Gaza Strip, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the anti -Philippine government.In the next few days, demonstrators are expected to be one of the participants in this event. Although the guests of APEC will not see them, they will still work hard to let their voice be heard.
