The 2026 APEC CEO Summit and the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will be held in Shenzhen in November. Foreign media have taken note.
An article published on October 12 by the US-based website The Diplomat stated that the upcoming APEC summit provides a highly practical platform for exchanges between China and the United States.
The article said that approximately 1,000 business leaders will gather in Shenzhen for the APEC CEO Summit, and artificial intelligence has been formally placed on the meeting agenda.

The article said that Shenzhen, known as the "Silicon Valley of the East," has long had China's densest cluster of artificial intelligence and robotics enterprises. Shenzhen has already hosted multiple AI-related seminars under the APEC framework. The article argued that China and the United States could expand cooperation on standards related to the application of artificial intelligence in third countries, including data governance and security assessment.
The article also argued that the dialogue between China and the United States on artificial intelligence will be an ongoing exchange, and over time, the two sides will gradually develop some consensus and explore sustainable models of AI competition.
A report by Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) noted that a new border crossing between Hong Kong, China and Shenzhen—the new Huanggang Port—was put into use before the APEC summit in November. The report said it is the world's largest land port by single-building floor area, with a construction area of approximately 690,000 square meters. The port operates 24-hour clearance and can handle up to 200,000 passengers per day.

The article said that previously, traveler clearance between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong required separate exit and entry inspection procedures in each location. The new port simplifies the process to one-stop inspection. The time required for traveler clearance has been reduced from the original 30 minutes to 5 minutes.
In addition, Vietnam's VietnamPlus website published an article stating that under the 2026 APEC framework, financial connectivity between Vietnam and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China will be further expanded.
The article cited the views of Dr. Jonathan Choi, chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong and a long-time investor in the Vietnamese market, saying that Hong Kong, China is a mature international financial center with extensive experience in listing and corporate financing services, and that Vietnam and Hong Kong, China can strengthen their ties. The article said that in addition to infrastructure construction, Vietnam and Hong Kong, China also have enormous cooperation potential in areas such as green energy, green transition, and the digital economy.
