#apec2023 — Public Fediverse posts

Commentators say that if pandas are an indication of which countries are in #China’s good books, #Russia received a pair in 2019, and Qatar its first in 2022. Now that the #US will get more of those sleepy bamboo-eaters, the world can heave a sigh of relief (for a bit). #xijinping #joebiden #apec2023 https://www.rashmee.com/biden-xi-panda-diplomacy-apec-san-francisco/

China will remain committed to the path of peaceful development, and the ultimate goal of China's development is to better our people's lives, not to unseat anyone, Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the 30th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting #APEC2023 #Xiplomacy

@tyangzom_ RT by @jooeysiiu: THATS MY GIRL! Tibet WILL be free because there will always be Tibetans fighting for our homeland whenever wherever possible. 💛✊🏽 #apec2023 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/tyangzom_/status/1725019335796928957#m

On the way into the APEC Summit this morning in San Francisco, we all had our umbrellas confiscated by security.

Two hours later, without any hint of irony, the entertainment arrived.

Day 3 walking to work during APEC: London Breed is an expert fear mongerer, The City is as empty as this picture. She took what could have been a premier international event instead businesses are losing money because she told everyone to stay away from San Francisco this week. With a mayor like her who needs a doom loop?
Still no rain and no protestors, but today our senile president is meeting the Chinese dictator at a Golden Era estate

“Thousands of people packed Embarcadero Plaza on Sunday for a protest expected to be one of the biggest demonstrations against [APEC], where some of the world’s most prominent leaders are crafting economic policy that detractors say will damage the environment and take away rights from the most vulnerable.”

it’s me, I’m detractors

Transit reroutes and street closures starting tomorrow WILL affect your travel. Have you planned for how you'll need to adjust your commute or your schedule yet? https://sfba.social/@IndivisibleSF/111383084354175668

As if the #APEC2023 disruptions in San Francisco weren’t bad enough, Muni just suddenly announced it’s shut down all transit in the APEC exclusion zone, 2 1/2 days early.

This had been announced to start Monday the 13th. #APECFail https://www.sfmta.com/projects/asia-pacific-economic-cooperation-apec-transit-and-travel-information#muni

Plan now for how #APEC will disrupt your commute and other travel next week.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference is coming soon to our City, and a number of world leaders, including our own President Biden, will be in attendance. Consequently, the United States Secret Service will impose security zones in specific parts of the City, and those zones will affect travel for residents and workers who need to pass through them.

This will affect your routine travels as well as tourist visits, as SFMTA says “APEC will impact travel throughout the city.” SFMTA has a webpage detailing the closures and reroutes, including maps: https://sfmta.com/apec

Start planning what detours or additional time you’ll need now. The tightest restrictions, including street closures, are scheduled to be in effect from Monday, November 13 to Sunday, November 19.

As Xi Jinping & HK gov't's Paul Chan descend on #APEC2023 in San Francisco next week, HKDC's @AnnaKwokFY @alexchow18 & @KennedyWongHK will take part in events focusing on the #CCP's #TransnationalRepression, its abysmal #HumanRights record in #HongKong, & what can be done. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1722705451437986046#m

"Through APEC and similar alliances, countries weaponize 'trade agreements' to block positive changes for the climate... APEC will only greenwash the climate crisis and will do nothing to phase us out of an economy based on fossil fuels." https://www.sunflower-alliance.org/apec-dont-trade-away-our-future-november-11-18/
