Xi Jinping urges global cooperation and free trade at APEC summit as Trump departs early

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged world leaders to strengthen economic globalisation and uphold multilateralism at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea — an event notably missed by US President Donald Trump. Xi took the spotlight during the two-day summit, which began on Friday, meeting with several regional leaders while Trump left South Korea a day earlier after signing deals aimed at cooling tensions in the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing. “The more turbulent the times, the more we must work together,” Xi said at the opening session. “The world is undergoing a period of rapid change, with the international situation becoming increasingly complex and volatile.” Positioning China as a champion of free trade, Xi warned against protectionist measures and economic decoupling — a veiled criticism of Trump’s “America First” policy and tariff-driven trade […]

Xi Jinping invites Canada PM Carney to China after years of frosty ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping has invited Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to visit China, marking the first official meeting between the two nations’ leaders since 2017. The invitation came during their talks at the APEC summit in South Korea on Friday. Relations between China and Canada have been strained for years, but Xi said recent efforts from both sides have shown “a recovery toward a trend of positive development.” He expressed China’s willingness to work with Canada to restore ties and deepen cooperation. Carney, accepting the invitation, acknowledged that both nations have been less engaged in recent years but said he believed “constructive and pragmatic dialogue” could help resolve their differences and build a more inclusive international system. Ties between the two countries deteriorated sharply in 2018 after the arrest of a senior Chinese telecom executive in Vancouver on a […]

Trump and Xi Agree to One-Year Trade Truce at APEC Summit in South Korea

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to pause their escalating trade dispute, reaching a one-year truce during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea. The agreement marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since 2019 and aims to ease months of tension that have rattled global markets and disrupted international supply chains. While the truce temporarily halts the exchange of new tariffs, it does not reverse existing trade barriers or fully resolve deep-rooted disagreements between Washington and Beijing. Dennis Wilder, a professor at Georgetown University and former China specialist for the CIA and the White House National Security Council, told Al Jazeera that the outcome represents “a pause and a small rollback in the trade war.” “Both sides have not given up their trade weapons but have agreed to stop […]

Trump Imposes 100% Tariff on China, Threatens to Scrap Xi Summit

WASHINGTON, Oct 11 — U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new 100% tariff on Chinese goods and warned he may cancel his planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, escalating tensions between the world’s two largest economies. The decision, which Trump said takes effect on November 1, also includes export controls on all critical U.S. software. He said the measures respond to what he called China’s “extraordinarily aggressive” actions, including export restrictions on rare earth minerals. “It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is history,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. Financial markets reacted sharply to the announcement. The Nasdaq fell 3.6% and the S&P 500 dropped 2.7% as investors feared a renewed trade war. Currently, Chinese goods face 30% U.S. tariffs, while Beijing has imposed 10% […]
