Original: Exclusive | Bessent may skip Apec in Hong Kong to focus on Trump’s Shenzhen trip: sources
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may skip the Apec leaders' meeting in Hong Kong to focus instead on President Donald Trump's planned trip to Shenzhen, sources told the South China Morning Post. The reported scheduling choice suggests Washington sees the bilateral encounter with Chinese leaders in Shenzhen as the priority over the regional trade forum, drawing attention to how the US is managing its high-stakes economic diplomacy with Beijing.
Why now: It signals US priorities in China diplomacy ahead of a closely watched Trump visit.
