President Obama put on a purple silk robe, matching the one worn by the Chinese president, to watch a fireworks display for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation he’s attending in China.
“It’s a tradition that each year the APEC host provides shirt or jacket for the other leaders as sign of cooperation,” says CBS’s Mark Knoller.
