Chinese President Xi Jinping, on Saturday, called on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to 'unite the ranks' in the face of 'increasing protectionism'. In a speech addressed to APEC leaders before a scheduled meeting with US President Joe Biden, Xi touched on 'geostrategic challenges and unilateralism, and the rise of protectionism'. He said 'we must unite and cooperate', according to official Chinese state television CCTV. The meeting between Xi and Biden is set to take place before the return of former US President Donald Trump to the White House in January, who had engaged in a 'trade war' with Beijing during his first term. During his presidential campaign, Trump had pledged to adopt protectionist trade policies, including imposing tariffs on all imports, particularly Chinese goods. Xi, on Saturday, urged APEC members to stick to the principles of multilateralism and open economies, and to push forward regional integration. He also expressed support for efforts to establish a free trade area in the Asia-Pacific region, and expressed willingness to negotiate trade agreements in the digital and environmental sectors. Xi, who will host the APEC summit in 2026, called for more cooperation in various fields, particularly artificial intelligence. Xi, during the APEC summit, warned that attempts to reduce global economic ties would be 'backward steps'.
