US President Joe Biden risks snubbing strategic nations if he fails to attend November’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Bangkok, allowing China to bask in the spotlight and expand its regional influence if President Xi Jinping participates in Biden’s absence, political analysts said.
“Chinese President Xi Jinping will be among those attending,” the Bangkok Post reported on November 1, after Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai announced an APEC update amid international concerns about the spread of Covid and other constraints.
APEC includes Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the US and Vietnam.
If Xi does attend, Biden would be conspicuous by his absence during the APEC summit on November 18-20.
The White House has announced Vice President Kamala Harris will participate instead of Biden at APEC. Biden will be in Washington at the time to attend instead his granddaughter’s wedding, which is to be held at the White House, according to reports.

Camel-la?
Hahahhahaaaaaa.
Tell me that you want China to dominate the world without telling me that you want China to dominate the world.
Hunter didn’t give a fig when he abandoned his small children, from wife one, to cavort with prostitutes, use drugs.....leaving his family penniless.
He’s carried on this lifestyle for years.
Now his firstborn is to wed.........so where is Hunter getting the money for her wedding?
From you.......the taxpayers....... for a lavish WH wedding for all the Bidung parasites.When Hunters first wife hustled a book,she was curiously reticent.
Now we know why......she was warned there’d be no WH wedding ...if she squealed.
Some costs associated with the WH wedding ceremony — like security — will be picked up by taxpayers, but the Biden family “say” they’ll pay the tab for wedding activities.
The wedding comes at a time when Hunter the bride’s father has been marred with controversy concerning his foreign business deals and tax problem’s.......and child support for the child of the stripper he impregnated.

What an insult! As if the presence of the POTATUS wouldn't have been enough of an insult.
"Hey! Who stuck this potted plant here?"
SNORT.
Nov 18-20, Friday, Saturday, Sunday?
There will be a general disappointment. Thailand will feel a loss of face. There is a perception that the US is too busy elsewhere, the US is too distant and aloof,” Kasit said in an interview
Mentally Traitorjoe is a “no-show” no matter where he is.
Beat me to that punch by 45 seconds. 😉
Donald Trump was respected . . . and most importantly in my opinion . . . respected as a MAN ! by EVERY world leader.
If nothing else in this election, democrats are disrespected all over the world.
No one will ever listen nor negotiate with a democrat.
REMEMBER . . . WE are the only ones attempting to nuance legitimacy attributed to any democrat . . . the rest of the world and it's leaders are more obtuse in their thought processing.
Xi has probably told him not to attend. Xi is running our country now.... prove me wrong.
true
Well, you tend to get word-salad from Harris. However, she usually knows what day it is and where she is, which can be important when meeting foreign leaders.
China Joe has deteriorated to the point he is lying and speaking gibbersh every single day now. He’s been forced to go out in public due to the upcoming election but I expect him to disappear after the election. He’s at the point he can’t function anymore.
I’m convinced Old Joe and much of the DeeCee sewer (Dems and RINOs) have been in the $$$employ of Xi Jinping and China for many a year.
Probably a relief not putting up with with the muttering old liar.
Biden not going to Bangkok? Think of all the young girls he’ll miss sniffing in one night.
Xi Jinping participates in Biden’s absence.
Orders given Biden takes sick day.
