FILE - In this Nov. 18, 2018, file photo, Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, and U.S. Mike Pence, right, stand with other APEC leaders during the Economic Leaders Meeting in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. All the usual rituals of international summits were there _ the group photos, the gala dinners, the noticeably vibrant shirts leaders are asked to wear. But eclipsing all of that at two recent meetings was some unusually forthright criticism that exposed deepening divisions rattling the Asia-Pacific region.  The disharmony largely centered on the U.S. and China, who are locked in a widening trade war and whose representatives used the summits to exchange barbs with one another and maneuver to expand their influence.
