Story summary
Ahead of the Shenzhen Apec summit in October 2026, the United States and China are engaged in intense diplomatic maneuvering. Key figures like Senator Steve Daines advocate for continued engagement between both countries on issues such as rare earth minerals. Sources suggest that US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen may skip the APEC meeting in Hong Kong to focus on her scheduled trip to Shenzhen where she is expected to meet with Chinese Vice-Premier Hu Chunhua. The discussions will likely revolve around extending a trade truce and addressing export curbs, as seen in previous engagements like Trump's summit with Xi Jinping earlier that month.
