US and China tie ups to bring stability in Asia-Pacific region of the World

At a summit in San Francisco on Thursday, US President Joe Biden guaranteed the economies of the Asia-Pacific region of US support and predicted that his discussions with Chinese Leader Xi Jinping will bring stability to the area and the world. “We’re not going anywhere,” Biden declared to the 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group, which is impacted by US China ties.

The summit began on a positive note

After meeting for the first time in a year on Wednesday at an opulent villa outside of San Francisco, Biden and Xi emerged vowing to prevent the kind of perilous rift that might upend the global economy, and the summit began with a sense of relief. They decided to reestablish military-to-military ties, and Xi pledged to stop China from producing the raw materials for the opioid fentanyl, which is being imported into the US in large quantities.

Why so engaged in Pacific?

Despite Beijing’s efforts to increase its influence in the region, Biden assured the APEC conference that Washington remained committed to the area. The US president said Xi had asked him on Wednesday “why we are so engaged in the Pacific.”

“I said it’s because we’re a Pacific nation. Because of us there’s been peace and security in the region, allowing you to grow. He didn’t disagree,” said Biden.

Nonetheless, Biden stated that despite their continued differences, the US and China are now dedicated to diplomacy in an effort to prevent “surprises or bad misunderstandings” on Taiwan, the democratic island backed by the US that China claims.”A stable relationship between the world’s two largest economies is not merely good for those two economies but for the world,” he said.

What is the matter to discuss

As the main summit got underway in San Francisco, attention shifted to the incredibly dynamic region that stretches from the shores of Australia, China, and Russia to the coasts of Chile and Canada.

The topics of discussion during the following two days, according to Biden, will include supply chains, artificial intelligence, and climate resilience. He also noted that the “challenges before us today are unlike those faced by previous groups of APEC leaders.”

The Biden administration is actively working to fortify ties with APEC nations concerned about Beijing’s expansionist ambitions, even as it maintains that the US has no intention of “decoupling” from China—that is, severing supply chains and essentially ceasing cooperation.

Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity

The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF), a loose trade agreement designed to unite the US and other like-minded countries like South Korea and Australia, is a major tenet of that agenda. However, the US domestic political opposition has already put obstacles in the way of the IPEF.

Mike Pyle, the deputy national security advisor for international economic affairs, told reporters that the arrangement was still alive and well.

“President Biden will make it absolutely clear that the United States will continue to engage both diplomatically and economically in this critical region,” he said. “Most trade deals take years to complete.”
