San Francisco is bracing for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, with city officials noting a resurgence in international travel to pre-pandemic levels. The event, which is expected to draw 30,000 attendees, will see Chinese President Xi Jinping attend a dinner with top US CEOs. The city's courts, traffic, and security are all expected to be significantly impacted, causing concern among residents and business owners, particularly near the Moscone Center. SF Chinatown is working to attract tourism, while the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts will be closed due to security concerns. The summit has also led to road closures and movement restrictions in Union Square to protect against retail theft. President Biden will meet with Indonesia's President Joko Widodo and hold bilateral talks with Xi Jinping. Russia has been invited to the summit, and the city is also dealing with restaurant closures.
