US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping made rival bids to win over Asia-Pacific allies at a summit in San Francisco Thursday, just a day after the two leaders met in a bid to reduce tensions between the superpowers. "We're not going anywhere," Biden told business leaders attending the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit in San Francisco as he tried to reassure the 21 member economies of US commitment to the region. "A stable relationship between the world's two largest economies is not merely good for those two economies but for the world," Biden said. Xi met Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who frequently shuns international meetings, and Peru's interim President Dina Boluarte. Obrador will huddle with Biden on Friday when the two men are expected to address fentanyl, some of which comes through Mexico on its way into the United States.
