China urges APEC officials to contain economic uncertainty

China’s finance minister opened a gathering of APEC officials in Hong Kong with a warning about economic uncertainty overseas.

He called for members to work together to prevent policy shifts from spreading economic shocks.

APEC is a forum for economic cooperation among economies in the Asia-Pacific region.

The warning came as the global economy faces challenges and uncertainty, according to the remarks.

Policy changes in one place can affect economies elsewhere, which is why China urged joint action.

The gathering brought officials together to discuss the role of APEC.

No specific next steps were reported.
