Fresh off his Busan landing, Chinese President Xi Jinping sat down with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump ahead of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju. In that chat, Xi emphasized that China never seeks to challenge or replace any country 📌.
His point? The Chinese mainland is focused on 'doing our own business well' 🌏. Think of it as leveling up at home before flexing abroad—a mantra that shapes global vibes for trade and tech.
APEC is like a group chat for 21 members across the Asia-Pacific region—from the Republic of Korea and the U.S. to Japan and India—working to boost trade, green tech, and digital economies 🌐. For us in South and Southeast Asia, open lanes mean faster smartphone deliveries, smoother e-payments, and more access to online services.
This non-confrontational stance could keep supply chains humming and prices stable for startups and savers alike 💡. Stay tuned for more updates as the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting rolls out announcements on green energy, digital trade, and surprise partnerships! 🚀
