While this composition is usually in alphabetical order, it has a differe configuration. Last year, when the summit was hosted by the United States in San Francisco, the couries starting with the letter A were closer to Biden as the host, and thus Australian Prime Minister Ahony Albanese was closer to the middle, and Xi was more on the side. had This year, Albanese was in the fro row and on the right.
This American media emphasizes: “Xi used this summit to consolidate China’s position as a bastion of economic globalization before Trump’s return.
