APEC: Future of Asia-Pacific and Beyond The Chinese government sees the 2014 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which will be hold from November 5 to 11 in Beijing, as an opportunity to promote its diplomacy. Earlier this year, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi wrote in an essay that China would “give full play to its home-field advantage, make its own voice heard, and gather the wisdom of Asia, so as to inject new energy into the development and cooperation of the Asia-Pacific region.” Early in September 2014, U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice spent three days in China, a trip believed to be preparation for U.S. President Obama’s upcoming visit. Some pundits believe President Obama’s visit to China will bring substantive achievements relating to his administrative performance and diplomatic legacy. For this reason, the United States has produced a lengthy agenda, including issues such as climate change, bilateral economics, trade and investment agreements, exchange rates, counter-terrorism, internet security, outer space security, Iraq, the Iranian nuclear issue, the Korean nuclear issue, and the South Sudan issue.
