President Joe Biden is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping this month in San Francisco. They’ll be here during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, the biggest international meeting the city has hosted since 1945. Nearly 30,000 visitors are expected in the city during the conference, which officials say could bring in more than $50 million to the local economy. But some local residents are concerned about heightened security and street closures, while protesters are planning to disrupt the meeting to call attention to issues ranging from climate change to workers rights. We’ll preview APEC, which kicks off on November 11.
Guests:
London Breed, mayor, City and County of San Francisco
Vinod Aggarwal, professor of political science & director of Berkeley APEC Study Center, U.C. Berkeley
Rachael Myrow, senior editor of Silicon Valley News Desk, KQED
