FYI the news source is from reuters, Times of India is just reprinting it. Indian news wouldn't know anything about closed door meetings between China and US.
A couple of reasons, to say the least.
1. Most empires collapse within. What exactly is the condition of America at the moment? They are broke. We see how this plays out. Historically, the same thing happens over and over again. That is what I am worried about. Not some war. This is the position of the CCP too, I believe. When they talk about America's decline, that is what the CCP is talking about.
2. There must be something to fight over. They were fighting over something, such as trade flows, and Huawei 5G, and sensitive technology in general. How are those fights going for America? Notice they do not harp on the phones anymore. There is not much further for this particular fight to continue on.
In the end, there are really two important points. There is no end game for the Americans. They think they could win easily in trade war and tech war, that once it goes sideways for them, it is game over. They do not have a plan. The other important point, is that it is still all about Taiwan.

I live in the SF Bay Area. Only certain parts of San Francisco have homeless concentrations. They're mostly around the Tenderloin and South of Market areas. That is closer to the Moscone Center where APEC meetings are taking place but it isn't like how the right-wing media paints it where they're everywhere. I'm sure the police and secret service are clearing areas where security is a concern but hiding it like India...? No.
I saw this after my initial message:
Not that I think this is strange or anything, just amusing since people use to criticize CPC for doing campaigns to clean up cities before big public events as caring too much about face and superficial, turns out it's the same with USA.

From Moscone Center to where a lot of the consulates are which is the Pacific Heights area, they're going to see the homeless driving through. Clearing the homeless for security reasons... yes. To hide the homeless... no. I don't think San Francisco cares if people from other countries see them.
