When APEC last met in China, the US was pushing China to have more private public partnerships and outsource more jobs. This meeting will report on the economic polices of the APEC and also how it is affecting people such as Mexico, Peru, Chile, South Korea and China.

Today the US is pushing privatization of all public services through outsourcing of public jobs and turning public jobs over to 'non-profits'. It is also linked to the World Trade Organization WTO which has imposed austerity on people around the world. It has pushed privatization of public resources, joint labor management partnerships and the outsourcing of jobs to make more profits. APEC is Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation is an organization based on making capitalism more profitable in the Asian rim.
