This week marked the 1,000 day of the Ukraine War. We'll unpack recent developments, including Ukraine's use of US-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory for the first time, intensified Russian attacks near Kurakhove, the pause in operations at the US embassy in Kyiv, and Russia's updated nuclear deterrence doctrine. Then world leaders met this week in Azerbaijan for the UN Climate Summit, Peru for the APEC Summit, and in Brazil for the G20. How did Trump's victory affect the dynamics of these meetings, with Biden already fading into the background and Xi being front and center? We'll also talk about Trump's pick of RFK for US health secretary and the possible impact on global health and pandemic prevention. Stefanie Bolzen, Prashant Rao, and Andrew Roth join Ivo Daalder to discuss these topics and more on this week's World Review.
Chinese President Xi Jinping set clear boundaries during a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden at the APEC Summit in Lima, Peru. This message was seen as directed more towards the incoming Trump administration than Biden, as the latter is in his lame-duck period.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has wrapped up his whirlwind trip to the APEC summit in Peru. At the summit, Luxon met with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time. The meeting was one of many bilaterals to take place. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls tells Mike Hosking the main takeaway for New Zealand is to get face time with international leaders. “The Prime Minister needs to be there to let people know how we can be relevant.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Anthony Albanese attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, speaking on the importance of free and fair trade to lift living standards of people throughout the region.

The APEC Summit has wrapped up in Peru. Leaders from 21 economies bordering the Pacific met for the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum to discuss strategies of the region's major economies. Prime Minister Chris Luxon met with several world leaders for the first time at the summit. New Zealand secured trade deals with Costa Rica, Switzerland and Iceland during the summit, removing tariffs on wood and wool products. Otago University international relations expert Robert Patman tells Ryan Bridge eyes were on China's role in the Pacific. Though opinions diverged, Luxon's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping went well – evidenced by Luxon's invitation to China. “China gave us a free trade agreement and it's important to consolidate that relationship at a time when the new Trump administration seems poised to impose blanket tariffs on its trading partners," says Patman.

The US-China relationship has been marked by growing competition and rivalry. Nevertheless, the two have made efforts to stabilize the relationship notably with the meeting between Presidents Xi and Biden at the margins of the APEC Summit in San Francisco in 2023. More recently, the ministers of defense have met at the margins of the Shangri-La Dialogue. Secretary Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun agreed to work toward better communications to stabilize military relations and avert crises, according to a statement from the Defense Department. The United States and China will “convene a crisis-communications working group by the end of the year.” So, what is the current state of the US-China relationship today and how are the two reshaping the global order in the face of US-China relations? Joining me in the Virtual Studio is Pascale Massot to discuss the state of the US-China relationship. Pascale is an associate professor in the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. She is also non-resident Honorary Fellow, Political Economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, and a Senior Fellow at the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. She also has served as the Senior Advisor for China and Asia in the offices of various Canadian Cabinet ministers, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Pascale is the author of “China's Vulnerability Paradox: How the World's Largest Consumer Transformed Global Commodity Markets” (Oxford University Press, 2024). Her research interests include the global political economy of China's rise and impact on the liberal international order, China's impact on global extractive commodity markets, including debates around de-risking, Canada-China relations, Canadian public opinion on China and China narratives more broadly, as well as the advent of Indo-Pacific strategies around the world.

APEC SUMMIT CONTINUES. -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East Front: In Gaza the information war continues, effectively restricting the overwhelming majority of information regarding the situation on the ground. In Gaza City, Israel has reportedly captured al Shifa hospital. AC: Al Shifa hospital is the largest medical center in Gaza, and according to IDF officials was allegedly the “beating heart” of Hamas' operations and intelligence for the entirety of Gaza. For years, Israel has touted that Hamas maintained a large bunker complex beneath the hospital. Israeli officials are certain of the exitance of this complex because Israel built it in 1983. Following the raid on the hospital, Israel released photos of the SSE that strongly indicate that only 10 rifles have been found so far in this vast underground complex.European Front: The Guardian removes Bin Laden's Letter to America from their website, which was posted to their website over 20 years ago. This letter went viral on TikTok a few days ago, resulting in the removal of this document due to the implications contained in the text. Note on sources: The “Letter to America” that has been mentioned in several viral videos is not the “Letter to America” that was taken down. Bin Laden wrote multiple open letters to the American public, and many of the viral videos mention one of his final letters, which mentions Obama being president, and therefore cannot be a 20 year old document. The letter that was removed by The Guardian was Bin Laden's first letter, which has completely different content. The removed letter can be found (for now) via the Internet Archive.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – In a declaration dated November 2, but is just now becoming public, The ATF issued a blanket ban on all consumer smoke grenades and civilian flashbang devices.CA: Demonstrators gather in San Fransisco in support of Xi Jinping and the CCP during the APEC Summit. Though unconfirmed ATT, limited reporting indicates many of these supporters may have been paid by Chinese diplomats to show support for Jinping.-Analyst Comments-From time to time, historical events resurface to the public consciousness, much like Bin Laden's Letter to America has done in the past few days. Unfortunately, the lack of critical thinking on most of social media, coupled with the wrong document being discussed, has resulted in many analytical leaps regarding Bin Laden's legacy.Regarding the recent ATF actions, in usual fashion the ATF's declaration is extremely vague and subjective. It is unclear as to how this ban will affect maritime safety devices, which are mandated by the USCG on most classes of vessel. It is also unclear as to how this will affect consumer grade fireworks, the HVAC repair industry, or the film industry due to the vague wording on potential exemptions. The ban is probably intended for “tactical”-style devices, but due to the lack of forethought and contradictory stance characteristic of the ATF, the potentially wide-ranging effects of this ban are currently unknown.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst: S2AEND REPORTNNNN

The big news is that there will be a face-to-face meeting between President Biden, and China's President Xi Jinping. However, China has been aggressive in the South China Sea, flying within 10 feet of American pilots, distracting American pilots with lasers, and conducting aggressive cyber-attacks against the U.S, and yet the Biden administration is advocating for stronger US-China military-military (mil-mil) relationship. Are better mil-mil communications a ‘win' for the Biden Administration? What are the Biden Administration's achievements with negotiating with China ahead of the APEC Summit?

San Francisco has been blasted as a 'ghost town' and a 'ruined city' by Chinese media outlets, as city officials use the Star Wars theme to rid streets of homeless people. The beleaguered California city has been labelled a 'total failure' by some China-based outlets as the city prepares to host Chinese President Xi Jinping next week.The spotlight will be on the city as the Chinese President meets with President Biden for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. While the city gears up for the event, U.S. Chinese Radio used the headline 'Ghost town San Francisco to have major blood exchange as APEC will bring the safest week in history to the city.'Other headlines include the phrases 'garbage city, 'ruined city' and 'fallen city', as crippling drug issues and widespread homeless problems continue to cause problems for the city.

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.
