At an informal dialogue between APEC leaders and the host nation in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping described sustainable development as a "golden key" to solving current global problems. On sustainable development, what are the issues on which it is possible for APEC member economies to build consensus?

Thursday local time saw Xi hold bilateral talks with Japan’s Fumio Kishida. Is there a chance for China and Japan to pursue mutually-beneficial relations despite frictions?

The meeting between Xi and Biden is continuing to generate headlines in media. Will this key moment help stabilize the bilateral ties?

Host Ding Heng is joined by Dr. Zhou Mi, Senior Research Fellow with the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation; Professor Shen Dingli from the Institute of International Studies, Fudan University; Professor Joseph Siracusa, Dean of Global Futures with Curtin University.
