In the background of the latest US-China political disputes, is the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. This year, the United States plays host to the meeting, which involves more than 1,500 delegates from 21 economies – including China and Russia.   Ray Suarez spoke with Matt Murray, senior US official for APEC, from the conference's first event in Palm Springs. Murray, who spent a number of years in Beijing and Shanghai, talks to Ray about whether the US and China can find common ground in trade on the Asian continent.   Guest:   Matt Murray, US Senior Official for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), US Department of State   Host:   Ray Suarez   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.
