The 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leader's meeting was held in Beijing.

During the APEC meeting, China and the US promised to issue 10-year tourist and business visas and five-year student visas.

Apart from the APEC meetings, this event also brought a six-day vacation and “APEC” blue to people living in Beijing.
