All eyes are on San Francisco today as U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet in a highly anticipated session during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit being held in the U.S. for the first time in 12 years. The tightly choreographed discussions are expected to lead to announcements on a diverse array of topics from re-starting climate talks to improving military to military communications and combating the fentanyl trade. Bethany Allen, China reporter for Axios and author of Beijing Rules, joins Doorstep co-hosts Tatiana Serafin and Nikolas Gvosdev to discuss what motivates Xi and how China continues to wield its authoritarian economic statecraft to expand its illiberal influence worldwide. What can governments do to counter this influence? And what can businesses expect as Xi sits down to a $2,000-a-plate dinner with executives, including Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Citigroup's Jane Fraser, and Tesla and SpaceX's Elon Musk?
