Special: Xi Attends G20 Summit, APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and Visits Thailand

Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that any attempt to disrupt or even dismantle the industrial and supply chains formed in the Asia-Pacific over many years will only lead Asia-Pacific economic cooperation to a dead end.

Openness brings progress while closing the door can only leave one behind, Xi said in a written speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit.
