Experts: China, US to focus on regional integration at forum

WASHINGTON - China and the United States will both make efforts to promote regional integration and green growth at this week's annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Honolulu, Hawaii, trade experts said.

But the world's two largest economies differ in their approaches toward achieving regional integration.

The host country will try to achieve progress at the Hawaii meeting in establishing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), while China hopes that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)+3 (China, Japan and South Korea) can take a leading role.
