Speaking to executives at the APEC summit in San Francisco, Mr. Biden noted that he and Mr. Xi had agreed to resume military-to-military communication to “reduce the risk of miscalculation” — a line that got a round of applause from the room.

“We have real differences with Beijing,” Mr. Biden said. “We are going to continue to address them with smart policies and strong diplomacy.”

Mr. Biden also stressed that a strong U.S. economy was helping the Indo-Pacific region. The president has been frustrated that positive news about the U.S. economy has not seemed to resonate with the public, so on Thursday he took the opportunity to tick through the numbers.

The American economy grew by 4.9 percent last quarter. Unemployment has been under 4 percent for the past 21 months. Inflation has come down by 65 percent — with “more to do” to lower it, he said.
 
“I acknowledge there’s a disconnect between the numbers and how people feel about their place in the world right now,” Mr. Biden said. “We can deal with the second part as well.”

In his remarks, Mr. Biden announced that American businesses had invested $40 billion into APEC economies this year, and he encouraged other leaders to enact labor protections for workers. On Thursday, he signed a presidential memorandum that detailed his administration’s commitment to workers’ rights globally, including plans to use trade enforcement actions to promote labor rights.
 
"I cant believe that we sat through so many lectures from the Americans, listening intently.....Man were we stupid!"

Not sure what that has to do with Biden’s failed Indo-Asian trade policy. Maybe you can explain. If not, I understand.

America cannot get any new trade deals these days. It just is not going to happen. Biden will never get any deals past Congress, but he can make some minor tweaks that can get some tiny near trade deals...

trump will do the opposite. he is looking to destroy current trade deals.

Irrelevant. There is no current Indo-Asian trade deal, as made clear and why in The Economist article.
