The president's focus turns to foreign policy after last week's drubbing of Democrats in the midterm elections and just after North Korea's surprise release of two Americans on Saturday. Obama was also holding separate meetings Monday with Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. "Most Asian countries still worry about China's expansion and increased influence," said Sun Zhe, director of the Center for Sino-U.S. Relations at Qinghua University in Beijing. "They still have doubts whether China is taking over their market or their islands." If South Korean officials shared that apprehension they were able to set it aside Monday, as South Korea's presidential office announced a free trade deal with China to remove tariffs on more than 90% of goods over 20 years. The announcement came after South Korean President Park Geun-hye met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at APEC, apparently completing negotiations that began in May 2012.
