M: The CEO Summit in Busan is a side event of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering. About 800 senior executives from APEC’s 21 member economies are attending.  Over the past quarter century since economic reforms were introduced in China, its economy has quadrupled, raising its gross domestic product to more than $7 trillion.  China attracts tens of billions of dollars of foreign investment a year, and its massive demand for energy and raw materials have driven up world commodity prices. President Hu promised Thursday to cooperate with other nations to ensure global energy security.
