Full coverage: Xi Visits Ecuador, Peru and Chile, Attends APEC Summit

For some insight, we have with us Professor Fu Jun from the School of Government at Peking University, and Victor Gao, our current affairs commentator.
 
Q1: Professor Fu, President Xi is on his third visit to Latin America since he took office in 2013. He is keen to include Latin America in the "Belt and Road Initiative". Why is connecting with the continent so important for China and the global economy?

Q2: Mr.Gao -- Asia-Pacific remains one of the most dynamic regions with great potential for development. But at the same time, they are mostly developing countries vulnerable to headwinds in global trade and finances. How do you think APEC countries should work towards more sustainable development?
