To help people better understand the focus of the APEC Beijing meeting, Xinhua News Agency has prepared a list of 26 key words that define the gathering of the leaders of Asia-Pacific economies.
 
APEC｜亚太经合组织
 
1989年诞生的亚太经合组织联通了太平洋两岸，对接了新兴与发达经济体，让“亚太”从地理概念变成了一个如今经济总量占据全球半壁江山的经济合作体，成为全球最具增长活力和发展潜力的地缘经济板块。
 
Born in 1989, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation connects both sides of the Pacific Ocean, linking emerging economies with developed economies. APEC has made the geographical concept of "Asia-Pacific" into an economic cooperation group that accounts for half of the world's economy. It currently demonstrates the biggest growth vigor and potential.
 
Bogor Goals｜茂物目标
 
APEC成员1994年通过《茂物宣言》，提出了APEC“大家庭”的奋斗目标，承诺最迟不晚于2020年实现在亚太地区的自由开放的贸易和投资。今年是茂物目标提出20周年，人们期待北京会议使区域经济一体化路径更加清晰。
 
APEC members announced the Bogor Goals in 1994, proposing the goal of forming a "big family" of APEC members.

QE｜量化宽松
 
美联储近期宣布退出量化宽松，而日本却宣布QE加码方案，未来欧洲央行推出新一轮刺激政策也是大概率事件。美国“收”、欧洲“放”、日本“乱”，或将导致全球资金大挪移，APEC成员如何应对可能波涛汹涌的国际资本流动？

Zero Tariff｜零关税
 
从自贸区建设到互联互通，是否有一天APEC区域内真会实现“零关税”这个理想化的目标？若是如此，以后在上海买苹果手机说不定就跟在美国加州的价格一样了。
 
One day there may be no tariff between APEC economies with the development of the free trade area and regional connectivity. If that comes true, people may pay the same amount of money to buy an iPhone in Shanghai as they do in California.
