Chinese ambassador to the United States Xie Feng has signalled high hopes for major-power cooperation at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Shenzhen this week, promoting a China-led AI alliance for regional prosperity.

The prosperity theme was also highlighted in Qiushi, the Communist Party's flagship publication, which compiled a series of President Xi Jinping's previous Apec speeches on building an "Asia-Pacific community with a shared future". The compilation underscores how Beijing frames Apec as a platform for economic integration and shared development across the region.S1S2
