Welcome to the debut edition of our new Start The Week show - a succinct 15-minute summary of the hottest 5 travel topics in South East Asia and beyond. Our first mini show takes Gary and Hannah from Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand to China and Saudi Arabia. En route, we discuss a potential Disney theme park in eastern Thailand, Chinese cruise tourism, e-gate tech challenges between Singapore and Malaysia, cross-border EV charging packages, and the logistics of developing a Hajj village for almost a quarter of a million Indonesian pilgrims. All this and more in less than 15 minutes...
If 2025 heralded a new Age of Uncertainty across global political landscapes and economic sectors, what does 2026 hold in store for South East Asia and the broader Asia Pacific region? And how will the myriad risks and uncertainties that emerged last year influence travel and tourism patterns in 2026? Was 2025 the end of days for many post-pandemic travel 'trends'? And what vital lessons did 2025 teach us for the rest of the decade? To kickstart 2026, Gary and Hannah analyse 12 topics, themes and developments that we think will shape travel economies in the 11 nations of ASEAN, plus India, China and Japan. No spoilers, but our broad-ranging discussion journeys from travel infrastructure investment to human-engineered tourism, and the fight for regulated (alternative) accommodation to the AI challenges that the travel industry is failing to confront. Plus, which two countries, one in South East Asia and one in North East Asia, do we expect to dominate the regional discourse in 2026 - and why? All this and much more as we preview a year that is harder than most to predict!

Episode #458: Lilianne Fan is a long-time Myanmar analyst and advocate who served as an adviser to the ASEAN Special Envoy on Myanmar and as part of Malaysia's advisory group during its ASEAN chairmanship. Drawing on that insider role, she argues that ASEAN's response to the 2021 coup must be judged by how ASEAN actually functions, not by expectations of decisive moral intervention.Fan explains that ASEAN's Five-Point Consensus was never meant to resolve Myanmar's crisis. Its real purpose was to create a diplomatic framework that allowed ASEAN to remain engaged while denying the junta regional legitimacy. Most significantly, it institutionalized the exclusion of Min Aung Hlaing from high-level ASEAN meetings, preventing the military from claiming regional endorsement.She acknowledges ASEAN's early failures, particularly its initial reliance on shuttle diplomacy with the junta and its slow recognition of Myanmar's mass civilian resistance. Over time, however, ASEAN adapted. Under Indonesia and especially Malaysia, engagement broadened to include resistance actors, ethnic organizations, and civil society.Fan highlights Malaysia's chairmanship as a turning point. Kuala Lumpur invested heavily in preparation and conflict analysis, convening confidential, structured Track One meetings with resistance stakeholders, complemented by Track 1.5 dialogues with experts and civil society. These processes treated resistance groups as serious political actors without granting formal recognition.She also points to a major humanitarian shift: ASEAN's formal acknowledgment that aid cannot rely solely on the AHA Centre and must include cross-border assistance and local delivery networks. Fan concludes that while ASEAN cannot force outcomes or reform the military, it plays a critical role in maintaining political red lines, preventing premature legitimization of the junta, and slowly reshaping ASEAN's own approach to conflict and legitimacy.

VOV1 - Năm 2025, ASEAN ghi dấu mốc lịch sử khi chính thức kết nạp Timor Leste trở thành thành viên thứ 11 của khối, là thành quả sau hơn 10 năm bền bỉ xin gia nhập ASEAN của nước này.Đối với ASEAN, đây không chỉ là bước ngoặt quan trọng, đánh dấu lần mở rộng đầu tiên kể từ năm 1999 mà còn khẳng định tinh thần bao trùm, đoàn kết và gắn kết của khối.Dấu mốc lịch sử này càng có ý nghĩa hơn với Tuyên bố Cua-la Lăm-pơ về “ASEAN 2045: Tương lai chung của chúng ta” đạt được trong năm Chủ tịch ASEAN 2025 của Malaysia.

On April 13, 2018, when President Xi Jinping announced that China would support Hainan, a tropical island about the size of Taiwan province off China's southern coast, in exploring the creation of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics, the message traveled far beyond China's southern shores.2018年4月13日，习近平主席宣布，中国将支持位于中国南部沿海、面积与台湾省相当的热带岛屿海南，探索建设具有中国特色的自由贸易港。这一消息迅速传遍中国南方海岸之外。It reached Atyrau, a city on Kazakhstan's Caspian coast, where Ruslan Tulenov, then working at a local chemical company after spending more than a decade studying and living in China, followed the news closely.这一消息传到了哈萨克斯坦里海沿岸城市阿特劳。当时，在中国学习和生活十余年后、正在当地一家化工企业工作的鲁斯兰·图列诺夫，密切关注着这条新闻。The moment Xi's announcement was broadcast, Tulenov knew it was the right time for him to return to Hainan, where he had completed his undergraduate studies.习近平讲话播出的那一刻，图列诺夫便意识到，重返他完成本科学业的海南，时机已经成熟。"I was constantly observing this country — how it developed and where it was heading," Tulenov recalled. "I wanted to find my own career chance in that process."“我一直在观察这个国家——它是如何发展的，又将走向何方，”图列诺夫回忆说，“我希望在这一进程中找到属于自己的职业机会。”Speaking that day at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the founding of Hainan province and the Hainan Special Economic Zone, Xi highlighted Hainan's special advantages, including its status as China's biggest SEZ, its unique geographic location and the best ecological environment in the country, as reasons to make it a test ground for reform and opening-up.在当天举行的海南建省办经济特区30周年庆祝大会上，习近平强调了海南的独特优势，包括其作为中国最大经济特区的地位、独特的区位条件以及全国最优的生态环境，并指出正是这些优势，使海南具备成为改革开放试验田的条件。The decision to build a pilot free trade zone and eventually a free trade port was, Xi stressed, a major move by the Communist Party of China Central Committee to signal China's resolution of further opening up and promoting economic globalization.习近平强调，建设自由贸易试验区并逐步探索建设自由贸易港，是中共中央着眼于进一步扩大对外开放、推动经济全球化作出的重大战略部署。On Thursday, the Hainan FTP will officially launch island-wide special customs operations — a move that Xi has described as a landmark step by China to unwaveringly expand high-standard opening-up and promote the development of an open world economy.周四，海南自由贸易港将正式启动全岛封关运作。习近平将这一举措称为中国坚定不移扩大高水平对外开放、推动开放型世界经济发展的标志性一步。China's plan for the island's future also opened the door for young talent like Tulenov. When the Hainan International Economic Development Bureau, established in 2019, launched a global talent recruitment campaign, he applied right away.中国对海南未来发展的系统规划，也为图列诺夫这样的青年人才打开了机遇之门。2019年成立的海南国际经济发展局启动全球人才招聘计划时，他第一时间提交了申请。The bureau is the first government agency of its kind at the provincial level dedicated to attracting global investment for the Hainan Free Trade Port.该机构是中国首个在省级层面专门负责为海南自由贸易港吸引全球投资的政府机构。After rounds of tests and interviews, the multilingual Kazakh became the bureau's first foreign employee, reflecting Hainan's growing international orientation.经过多轮考试和面试，这位精通多种语言的哈萨克斯坦人，成为该局首位外籍员工，体现出海南日益增强的国际化取向。As policies for the Hainan Free Trade Port continued to take shape, China released a master plan in June 2020 to build Hainan into a globally influential, high-level free trade port by the middle of the century.随着海南自由贸易港相关政策不断完善，中国于2020年6月发布总体方案，提出到本世纪中叶，将海南建设成为具有全球影响力的高水平自由贸易港。The document said that supporting Hainan's construction of a free trade port system with Chinese characteristics is a significant move designed, arranged and promoted by Xi.文件指出，支持海南建设具有中国特色的自由贸易港体系，是习近平亲自谋划、亲自部署、亲自推动的重大战略举措。Two years later, in 2022, Tulenov found himself standing in the audience at the Yangpu Economic Development Zone in Hainan, listening as Xi spoke about Hainan's development path.两年后的2022年，图列诺夫站在海南洋浦经济开发区的会场中，现场聆听习近平阐述海南的发展路径。The province, Xi said, had spent decades debating its industrial positioning. Now, the priorities were clear: tourism, modern services, high-tech industries, and tropical high-efficiency agriculture, he said.习近平指出，海南在产业定位问题上探索多年，如今方向已经明确，即重点发展旅游业、现代服务业、高新技术产业和热带特色高效农业。As China's only tropical province and a major maritime region, Hainan had natural advantages in developing these four industries. The four sectors already accounted for 67 percent of Hainan's GDP in 2024.作为中国唯一的热带省份和重要海洋区域，海南在发展这四大产业方面具备天然优势。到2024年，这四个产业已占海南地区生产总值的67%。During that trip, Xi also raised expectations: Hainan would become a paradigm of reform and opening-up in the new era, he said.在那次考察中，习近平还提出更高期望，指出海南要成为新时代改革开放的示范样板。At the China International Import Expo, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference and the G20 Leaders' Summit, the Chinese president has, on many international occasions, highlighted China's efforts to develop the Hainan Free Trade Port and develop new systems for a higher-standard open economy. Xi said that all are welcome to share in the vast opportunities of the Chinese market.在中国国际进口博览会、博鳌亚洲论坛年会以及二十国集团领导人峰会等多个国际场合，习近平多次介绍海南自由贸易港建设进展和中国构建更高水平开放型经济新体制的努力，并表示欢迎各方共享中国市场的巨大机遇。In December last year and again this November, Xi returned to the province to hear detailed work reports from local officials — trips that highlighted the central leadership's close attention to the FTP's progress.去年12月以及今年11月，习近平两次赴海南听取地方工作汇报，凸显了中央对自由贸易港建设进展的高度关注。This focus is especially significant as the Hainan FTP will officially launch island-wide special customs operations on Thursday.在海南自由贸易港即将启动全岛封关运作之际，这种高度重视尤显重要。The shift will raise the share of zero-tariff goods in the Hainan FTP from 21 percent to 74 percent, while further opening sectors such as tourism, modern services and high-tech industries.封关运作后，海南自由贸易港零关税商品比例将从21%提升至74%，同时进一步扩大旅游业、现代服务业和高新技术产业等领域对外开放。"The launch of island-wide special customs operations will provide Hainan with the foundational conditions to advance opening-up across a broader scope and at a deeper level," Xi said during his trip to Hainan last month, stressing the need to free minds, advance reform and explore new ground, and promote reform and opening-up across various sectors more proactively.习近平在上月考察海南时指出，全岛封关运作将为海南在更大范围、更深层次推进对外开放提供基础条件，并强调要进一步解放思想、深化改革、勇于探索，在各领域更加主动推进改革开放。For Tulenov, each of Xi's visits carries a personal meaning. "Every time President Xi comes, we feel encouraged," he said.对图列诺夫而言，习近平每一次到访都具有特殊意义。“每次习近平主席来，我们都备受鼓舞。”他说。As the International Economic Development Bureau's global press officer, Tulenov has traveled extensively, promoting Hainan's advantages to companies and investors across the world.作为海南国际经济发展局的全球新闻官，图列诺夫走访多国，向全球企业和投资者推介海南的优势。"I always tell them that Shenzhen was where China first opened to the world. Now Hainan is the next chapter," he said. "Personally, I benchmarked the FTP against Hong Kong and Singapore. I firmly believe Hainan will become a port like those — it just takes time and steady steps."“我总是告诉他们，深圳是中国对外开放的起点，而海南正书写着新的篇章，”他说，“就我个人而言，我将海南自由贸易港对标香港和新加坡。我坚信，海南终将成为类似的国际港口，只是需要时间和稳步推进。”Thursday also marks the 47th anniversary of the third plenary session of the 11th CPC Central Committee — the milestone meeting that launched China's reform and opening-up. Observers said the latest move represents another significant step in the opening-up of the world's second-largest economy, even as unilateralism and protectionism intensify globally.周四同时也是中共十一届三中全会召开47周年纪念日。这次具有里程碑意义的会议开启了中国改革开放的历史进程。观察人士指出，在全球单边主义和保护主义加剧的背景下，海南的新举措标志着世界第二大经济体进一步扩大开放的重要一步。"The Hainan Free Trade Port occupies a uniquely prominent place in China's reform agenda," said Matteo Giovannini, an Asia-Global Fellow at the University of Hong Kong. It is one of the national strategies reaffirmed by President Xi, underscoring its role as a test ground for the next stage of high-level opening-up, he said.香港大学亚洲全球研究员马特奥·乔万尼尼表示，海南自由贸易港在中国改革议程中占据着独特而突出的地位，是习近平反复强调的国家战略之一，凸显了其作为新一轮高水平对外开放试验田的重要作用。Hainan's performance is likely to become a key reference for how China balances deeper openness with economic security amid global uncertainty, Giovannini said.乔万尼尼表示，在全球不确定性加剧的背景下，海南的发展实践有望成为中国在深化开放与维护经济安全之间寻求平衡的重要参考。"Lessons from Hainan may inform reforms in areas such as cross-border capital flows, data governance, services trade and green finance, offering models that could be scaled up elsewhere," he said. "In this sense, Hainan is not just a regional experiment, but a signal of how China sees reform evolving under more complex external conditions."他说：“海南的经验可能为跨境资本流动、数据治理、服务贸易和绿色金融等领域的改革提供借鉴，并形成可在其他地区推广的模式。从这个意义上看，海南不仅是区域性试验，更是中国在复杂外部环境下推进改革方向的重要信号。”Wang Ying, a researcher at the Academy of China Open Economy Studies at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said that the strategic emphasis placed on the Hainan FTP reflects China's confidence in its development path and commitment to globalization.对外经济贸易大学中国开放经济研究院研究员王颖表示，中央对海南自由贸易港的战略重视，体现了中国对自身发展道路的信心以及持续推进经济全球化的坚定承诺。She said that the FTP, which serves as a platform for engagement with frameworks such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, also signals China's determination to align with top-tier international trade rules.她指出，海南自由贸易港作为对接《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》《全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》《数字经济伙伴关系协定》等框架的平台，也释放出中国主动对标高标准国际经贸规则的明确信号。By taking a pioneering approach, Hainan is positioned to contribute Chinese solutions to the evolution of international economic rules and help guide the development of global standards, Wang added.王颖补充说，通过先行先试，海南有望为国际经济规则演进提供“中国方案”，并在全球标准制定中发挥引导作用。Giovannini noted that Hainan is well positioned, both geographically and strategically, to become a connective node between China and Southeast Asia, with its focus on services trade, logistics, tourism, and digital and green industries closely matching ASEAN's growth priorities.乔万尼尼指出，从地理和战略层面看，海南具备成为连接中国与东南亚的重要枢纽的有利条件，其重点发展的服务贸易、物流、旅游以及数字和绿色产业，与东盟的发展重点高度契合。"If regulatory credibility and policy consistency are maintained, the FTP could evolve into a meaningful gateway for two-way flows of capital, talent and services, connecting China more deeply with ASEAN and other emerging markets," he said.他说：“如果能够保持监管可信度和政策连续性，海南自由贸易港有望发展成为资本、人才和服务双向流动的重要门户，使中国与东盟及其他新兴市场实现更深层次联通。”free trade port (FTP)自由贸易港island-wide special customs operations全岛封关运作zero-tariff goods零关税商品economic globalization经济全球化regulatory credibility监管可信度

Soon after USAID was closed in February, speculation circulated that China would move quickly to fill the void left by the United States. That did not happen. While the Chinese did step in to provide modest additional funding for a handful of programs, like demining initiatives in Cambodia and support for the Africa CDC in Addis Ababa, overall, there's been no significant change in China's foreign aid programs. That did not surprise Alicia Chen, a PhD candidate at Stanford University, who noted in a recent Foreign Affairs article that Beijing is very tactical with where and how it distributes overseas development assistance. Alicia joins Eric to discuss Beijing's foreign aid strategy and how it differs from other major donors.

This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Nirmal Ghosh—author, independent writer, and former foreign correspondent—to discuss his latest poetry collection, The Weeds that Grow in Cemeteries. In this wide-ranging conversation, Nirmal reflects on the unique power of poetry compared to fiction, and why keeping alive the art of reading is essential not only for good writing but for cultivating empathy and imagination. Nature and ecology are recurring themes in his work, and Nirmal shares how nature writing helps us reconnect with the earth, reminding us not to take landscapes and ecosystems for granted. From there, the discussion expands to pressing regional issues: the devastating floods across Asia that highlight the urgent need for resilience and long-term climate adaptation, and the renewed tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, driven by historical grievances and political pressures. With poverty and instability persisting across parts of ASEAN, Nirmal warns of an “arc of chronic instability” in the region, even as Vietnam stands out as an exception.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pasaule mainās, un pārmaiņas mūsu puslodē raisa pieaugošas bažas. Savienotās Valstis publiskojušas jauno nacionālās drošības stratēģiju, un tā demonstrē, ka starp Eiropu un ASV pieaug arvien redzamāka plaisa. Savukārt Krievija savā politikā jūtas drošāk, un te jārunā ne tikai par Donalda Trampa labvēlību vien. Savienotās Valstis arī aktīvi spiež ukraiņus samierināties ar teritoriju zaudēšanu, lai apturētu karadarbību. Visu nedēļu turpinājušās sarunas par to, cik daudz kuram jāpiekāpjas. Un Donalds Tramps, kurš mēģina sevi iztēlot par pasaules karu apturētāju, šonedēļ šajā ziņā saņēmis vienu ne sevišķi patīkamu dāvanu - ar jaunu sparu uzliesmojušas sadursmes starp Kambodžu un Taizemi, ar kuras noslēgto pamiera vienošanos viņš publiski neslēpti dižojās. Aktualitātes analizē Analītikas un vadības grupas “PowerHouse Latvia” direktors Mārtiņš Vargulis un atvaļināts vēstnieks, Latvijas Universitātes un Rīgas Juridiskās augstskolas vieslektors Gints Jegermanis. Ietiepīgie eiropieši Visu pagājušās nedēļas nogali Floridā jau atkal risinājās sarunas, kurās Savienoto Valstu administrāciju pārstāvēja prezidenta īpašie sūtņi Stīvens Vitkofs un Džareds Kušners, savukārt Ukrainu – Nacionālās drošības un aizsardzības padomes sekretārs Rustems Umerovs un Ukrainas bruņoto spēku Ģenerālštāba priekšnieks, ģenerālleitnants Andrijs Hnatovs. ASV prezidenta Ukrainas sūtnis Kīts Kellogs, kurš drīzumā pametīs šo amatu, preses pārstāvju sastapts publiskā pasākumā Kalifornijā, izteicās, ka sarunas esot pavisam tuvu sekmīgam iznākumam, neatrisināti paliekot jautājumi par iespējamu Ukrainas kontrolēto teritoriju nodošanu Krievijai un Krievijas rokās esošās Zaporižjes atomelektrostacijas turpmākās darbības nosacījumiem. Prezidents Zelenskis pirmdien, 8. decembrī, vēlreiz apliecinājis, ka jebkāda vēl neieņemtās Ukrainas teritorijas labprātīga atdošana agresoram esot neiespējama – to liedz gan Ukrainas konstitūcija, gan starptautiskie likumi, un viņam neesot arī morālu tiesību tā rīkoties. To Ukrainas vadītājs paziņoja pēc tam, kad Londonā bija ticies ar Lielbritānijas premjerministru Kīru Stārmeru, Francijas prezidentu Emanuelu Makronu un Vācijas kancleru Frīdrihu Mercu. Tajā pašā dienā viņš ieradās Briselē, kur tikās ar Eiropas Komisijas prezidenti Urzulu fon der Leienu, Eiropadomes prezidentu Antoniu Koštu un NATO ģenerālsekretāru Marku Riti. Otrdien Romā viņu uzņēma Itālijas premjerministre Džordža Meloni, un Vatikānā – pāvests Leons XIV. Visi Zelenska sarunu partneri jau atkal apliecinājuši, ka vēlas taisnīgu mieru ar drošības garantijām Ukrainai. Atrodoties aktīvā kustībā pa Eiropu, Ukrainas līderim nācās reaģēt uz arvien nīgrāku retoriku, kura viņam tika adresēta no Baltā nama saimnieka puses. Pirmdienas rītā Donalds Tramps izteicās, ka Zelenskis pat neesot izlasījis pēdējos amerikāņu miera priekšlikumus. Uz to Ukrainas līderis atbildēja, ka, pirms nākt klajā ar kādiem izteikumiem, viņam jātiekas klātienē ar Ukrainas sarunvedējiem. Būdams ceļā no Londonas uz Briseli, viņš pauda, ka ar Eiropas partneriem saskaņotais Ukrainas priekšlikums tikšot Vašingtonai iesniegts, domājams, otrdien. Pagaidām gan nav ziņu, vai tas noticis. Otrdien pamatīgu interviju ar Trampu publiskoja izdevums „Politico”. Tajā nu tika gan Eiropas līderiem, kuri esot vāji, reālu mieru panākt nespējīgi, gan Zelenskim, kurš gribot turpināt karu, jo citādi būtu jārīko vēlēšanas. Ukrainas līderis reaģēja ātri, paziņojot, ka viņa vadītā partija gatavojot likumdošanas izmaiņas, kas ļautu sarīkot vēlēšanas kara laikā, tikai Savienotajām Valstīm būtu jāgādā, lai vēlēšanu procesu neapdraudētu Krievijas militārie triecieni. „Pūstošā” Eiropa Nākamo pāris desmitgažu laikā Eiropas civilizācija riskē izzust. Tā pilnā nopietnībā apgalvo oficiāls 4. decembrī publiskots Savienoto Valstu valdības dokuments – Nacionālās drošības stratēģija. Katra jauna Vašingtonas administrācija izstrādā šādu konceptuālu tekstu, un Trampa komandas sagatavotais tiek publiski pozicionēts kā „ceļvedis, kam jānodrošina, ka Amerika joprojām ir dižākā un veiksmīgākā nācija cilvēces vēsturē un brīvības mājvieta uz zemes”. Tas, kas šai 33 lappušu biezajā apcerējumā teikts par Eiropu, apliecina, ka viceprezidenta Vensa pasāžas Minhenes drošības konferencē šī gada februārī nebija kāds pārpratums, lielās politikas jaunpienācēja pārspīlēts izlēciens, bet gan Savienoto Valstu tagadējās administrācijas ideoloģisks definējums, ar kuru Eiropai būs rēķināties. Eiropa, kā teikts dokumentā, piedzīvojot ekonomikas lejupslīdi, taču tās reālās problēmas esot vēl dziļākas. Tādas esot, citējot, “Eiropas Savienības darbības, kas grauj politisko brīvību un suverenitāti, migrācijas politika, kas pārveido kontinentu, vārda brīvības cenzūra un politiskās opozīcijas apspiešana, nacionālās identitātes zudums”. Vairākas Eiropas valstis, kā apgalvots tekstā, riskējot jau drīzā perspektīvā „kļūt neeiropeiskas”, respektīvi – migrācijas rezultātā lielākā daļa to iedzīvotāju drīz būšot ieceļotāji no citām pasaules daļām. Uz dokumenta lappusēm, kā šķiet, pārceļojusi sazvērestības teorija par it kā mērķtiecīgu baltās rases ļaužu aizstāšanu ar citu rasu un kultūru pārstāvjiem. Oficiālā Vašingtona deklarē savu gatavību stāties cīņā par „Vecās pasaules” glābšanu, kas, cita starpā, izpaužas kā vēlme iejaukties Eiropas valstu iekšpolitikā, veicinot sev tīkamus procesus. Trampa un viņa līdzgaitnieku simpātijas nepārprotami pieder labējiem nacionālistiem, kuri var cerēt uz aizokeāna uzskatu biedru balstošo plecu. Pašreizējām Eiropas valdībām Vašingtona šai tekstā pārmet, no vienas puses, pārlieku nedrošību attieksmē pret Krieviju, no otras – nevēlēšanos pārtraukt karadarbību Ukrainā, uz ko tiecoties Amerika. Tajā pat laikā dokuments nedefinē Krieviju kā stratēģisku draudu un runā par nepieciešamību „atjaunot stratēģisko stabilitāti ar Krieviju”. Reaģējot uz publiskoto tekstu, Vācijas ārlietu ministrs Johans Vadefūls paziņojis, ka Savienotās Valstis joprojām ir svarīgs sabiedrotais drošības jautājumos, taču vārda brīvības un sabiedrības politiskās organizācijas sakarā Eiropai padomdevējus no ārienes nevajagot. Toties visai pozitīvi šīs stratēģijas parādīšanās uzņemta Kremlī, kura oficiālais pārstāvis Dmitrijs Peskovs paziņojis, ka tajā vērojami uzlabojumi, un tie atbilst Krievijas redzējumam. „Izbeigtais” karš uzliesmo atkal Taizemes un Kambodžas robežkonflikta saknes sniedzas vairāk nekā gadsimtu senā vēsturē, kad tika iezīmētas robežas starp toreizējo Siāmas karalisti un Francijas koloniālajiem valdījumiem Indoķīnā. Galvenais strīdus ābols ir hinduisma dievībai Šivam veltīts tempļu komplekss, kuru Kambodžas valdnieki izveidojuši laikā no mūsu ēras 9. līdz 12. gadsimtam. 1962. gadā starptautiska šķīrējtiesa atzina templi par Kambodžai piederīgu, taču Taizeme šim lēmumam nepiekrita. Nākamajās desmitgadēs Kambodža piedzīvoja ilgstošu radikāli kreiso t.s. sarkano khmeru diktatūru un pilsoņu karu, un robežstrīds ar kaimiņvalsti tai nebija aktuāls. Taču 2008. gadā, kad iekšējie satricinājumi bija palikuši pagātnē, Kambodža mēģināja reģistrēt tempļa kompleksu kā UNESCO Pasaules mantojuma vietu, un konflikts atsākās ar jaunu sparu. Nākamajos gados pie robežas periodiski notika apšaudes un nelielas kaujas, reizumis ar artilērijas izmantošanu. Bija upuri kā abu pušu militārpersonu, tā civiliedzīvotāju vidū. Pēdējais spriedzes periods iesākās šī gada maijā, kad sadursmē tika nogalināts Kambodžas karavīrs. Jūlijā starp abām valstīm izvērtās diezgan nopietna karadarbība. Taizeme apgalvoja, ka Kambodža apšaudījusi tās teritoriju ar raķetēm, un veica aviācijas triecienus pa militāriem mērķiem kaimiņvalsts teritorijā. Piecas dienas ilgajās kaujās tika nogalināti apmēram piecdesmit cilvēki, tūkstošiem bēgļu pameta karadarbības rajonu. Šajā brīdī konfliktā iejaucās Savienoto Valstu administrācija, piedraudot ar ekonomiskajām sankcijām. Ar Malaizijas valdības starpniecību tika panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu un oktobrī Donalda Trampa klātbūtnē parakstīts dokuments, kuru Baltā nama saimnieks dēvē par mierlīgumu, savukārt Taizemes valdība – par divpusēju deklarāciju. Novembrī Taizeme paziņoja, ka drošības situācija nav uzlabojusies, un apturēja vienošanās darbību. Spriedze kārtējo reizi pārauga sadursmēs pagājušajā svētdienā, 7. decembrī, kad uz robežas notika apšaude. Kā ierasts, abas puses vaino viena otru pamiera pārtraukšanā. Pirmdien pie robežas jau noritēja diezgan nopietna karadarbība, Taizemes pusei iesaistot arī gaisa spēkus. Tiek ziņots, ka vismaz desmit cilvēki pēdējo pāris dienu laikā zaudējuši dzīvību, pierobežas teritorijas atkal bijuši spiesti pamest vairāki simti tūkstošu. Donalds Tramps, kurš iekļāvis karadarbības izbeigšanu jūlijā savu karu izbeidzēja sasniegumu sarakstā, pieprasījis abām pusēm cienīt parakstīto vienošanos. Tā kā gan Taizeme, gan Kambodža pieder organizācijai ASEAN, tās prezidējošās valsts Malaizijas premjerministrs Anvars Ibrahims paziņojis, ka gatavs iesaistītes un censties atdzesēt konfliktu.

Il surplus commerciale cinese nei primi undici mesi dell'anno ha superato per la prima volta la soglia dei mille miliardi di dollari, in aumento del 22,1 per cento rispetto al 2024. Un risultato che arriva nonostante il crollo dell'export verso gli Stati Uniti, in calo del 28,6 per cento a causa dei dazi, e nonostante gli sforzi del governo cinese di puntare sui consumi interni come nuovo motore di crescita. Le esportazioni complessive sono comunque cresciute del 5,9 per cento su base annua.Xi Jinping e Donald Trump, per motivi opposti, vorrebbero una riduzione di questo surplus, ma i dati diffusi dall'amministrazione doganale cinese mostrano un quadro molto diverso: gli USA non hanno piegato la Cina con le tariffe e Pechino non riesce a sganciarsi dal modello basato su export e import. A novembre il surplus ha toccato 112 miliardi di dollari, con esportazioni in crescita verso Africa, America Latina, ASEAN ed Europa, dove l'export cinese è salito del 14,8 per cento. Le importazioni crescono poco, solo dell'1,9 per cento. Intanto l'export verso gli Stati Uniti continua a scendere, segnando l'ottavo mese consecutivo di cali a doppia cifra. Ne abbiamo parlato con Giuliano Noci, professore di Strategia e Marketing al Politecnico di Milano e prorettore del Polo territoriale cinese del Politecnico.Nel disordine globale per l'America di Trump il nemico è l'EuropaLa nuova Strategia di Sicurezza Nazionale degli Stati Uniti, 33 pagine pubblicate la scorsa settimana, rappresenta la summa della visione di politica estera del presidente Trump per i prossimi anni. Un documento che sembra confermare le parole di Ursula von der Leyen, secondo cui "l'Occidente come lo conosciamo non esiste più". Trump individua nell'Unione Europea un bersaglio privilegiato, accusandola di avviarsi verso una "cancellazione della civiltà" a causa di migrazioni, bassa natalità, pacifismo, energie rinnovabili e difesa dei valori liberali.Nelle ultime ore Trump è tornato all'attacco, definendo i leader europei "deboli" in un'intervista a Politico e sostenendo che "l'Europa non sa cosa fare". Sulla guerra in Ucraina, ha ribadito che "non sarebbe mai dovuta accadere" e che la Russia oggi si trova in una posizione negoziale più forte. Le sue parole hanno provocato reazioni dure, in particolare dal cancelliere tedesco Merz. Quale scenario si apre ora nei rapporti transatlantici? Ne abbiamo parlato con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista del Sole 24 Ore a Bruxelles.Strategia sicurezza nazionale di Trump, America First nero su biancoLa nuova Strategia di Sicurezza Nazionale, pubblicata venerdì, mette nero su bianco l'America First del secondo mandato Trump. Il documento mira a "ripristinare la preminenza americana nell'emisfero occidentale", riprendendo la logica della dottrina Monroe, storicamente utilizzata per respingere ingerenze europee e giustificare interventi americani in America Latina. Per l'Europa il giudizio è duro: viene descritta come una realtà minacciata da declino economico, crisi demografica, migrazioni e restrizioni alla libertà di espressione. Pur definita "strategicamente e culturalmente vitale", la relazione con il Vecchio Continente appare più critica che in passato.Il documento sposta le priorità strategiche su altre aree: l'emisfero occidentale, l'immigrazione, la competizione con la Cina. Trump promette di riequilibrare i rapporti economici con Pechino, mettendo al centro reciprocità e tutela dell'indipendenza economica americana. Riafferma inoltre l'impegno a far rispettare la dottrina Monroe, con effetti diretti anche sulla crisi in Venezuela. Ne abbiamo parlato con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore editoriale di UCapital.com.
"I was at a tourism conference in Hangzhou in 2018, where Chinese companies showed how they were using AI to personalise travel for users. That's nearly eight years ago." In 2025, AI became a strategic commercial tool in all sectors, including travel and tourism. But it isn't widely understood just how effectively embedded AI already is in China's tourism sector, and how far ahead its leading players are to much of the world. On the final show of 2015, Gary welcomes back Joao Romao, Associate Professor at Yasuda Women's University in Japan, to debate the shifting Geopolitics of Travel in Asia six years after the first cases of Covid-19 were discovered in Wuhan, China. Joao is the author of Economic Geography of Tourism, which places contemporary tourism in the context of global economic, technological, societal, environmental and political challenges. We discuss the evolving AI-in-travel landscape and the multiplicity of post-Covid variables shaping travel decision making. We analyse how Covid savaged the value of the Yen leading to a surge of inbound tourism, while making outbound travel expensive from Japan. And we dive into the implications for regional travel of icy bilateral relations between China-Japan. Plus, we look at the Middle East's investment-driven approach to tourism growth, and how this might impact South East Asian destinations in future. Meanwhile, what is the Circuit of Proximity, and why does it matter? And what did governments across Asia learn about their travel economies during the Covid shutdowns - and are those learnings are being effectively applied six years later?

So, another year is almost over - but what did we learn in 2025, South East Asia's third full year of travel since the Covid pandemic? This week, Gary and Hannah delve through the archives to take stock of an eventful 12 months for travel and tourism in South East Asia and the broader Asia Pacific region. We journey from the regional turmoil of Trump's tariffs to the tourism impacts of scam centres, and from Singapore setting the standard on SAF to Timor Leste becoming ASEAN's 11th member. Plus, we ask what happened to the ASEAN Tourism Visa, and question why the Philippines is pushing to promote ASEAN as a single destination. We discuss India's secondary city tourism wave, and look at which countries made new visa-free access moves throughout the year. And we gaze into a crystal ball to foretell whether Thailand and Cambodia might make peace and reopen their borders any time soon. Finally, we delve into Vietnam's remarkable breakout year after an initially slow post-Covid recovery - and its reluctance to offer visa-free access to Chinese tourists.
Le Timor Leste n'est indépendant que depuis 2002. C'est un État insulaire entre Australie et Indonésie. L'Indonésie, de sinistre mémoire, puisqu'il y a tout juste 50 ans, les Indonésiens envahissaient le territoire. Allaient suivre massacres et oppression. 27 années noires, après 4 siècles d'occupation portugaise. Mais le Timor Leste veut aller de l'avant. Fin octobre 2025, c'est enfin l'adhésion à l'ASEAN, la grande Alliance économique et politique d'Asie du Sud-Est : un espoir de stabilité économique. «Timor Leste : l'intégration régionale comme espoir de salut», un Grand reportage de Juliette Chaignon.
With one month remaining of 2025, airports are getting busy across South East Asia as the year-end travel season swings into gear. And November was another month filled with intriguing talking points to break down. We begin by discussing the long-term societal, political and travel impacts of heavy flooding in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. We take to the skies to address whether AirAsia might enter Vietnam via a stake share in Vietravel Airlines, and ponder the science fiction elements of new Biometric Corridors to verify traveller identities in Indonesia. Moving to China, we calculate which countries in ASEAN are (and aren't) improving their airline seat capacity with China* - and then dive into the complexities of Chinese airlines cancelling flights to Japan, and where that capacity may get redirected in the coming months. Plus, we talk hotel taxes in Malaysia, new charter flights between Brunei and Hainan Island, and the Philippines makes new strides in its play to become a regional player in gastronomy tourism. [* Click here to access the OAG graph discussed in the show which illustrates China's airline seat capacity with its top 20 air markets for November 2019, 2024 and 2025.]
The latest Big Picture reports are out and cover a wide range of topics from financial markets to supply chains and onward to technology and AI. Two of the authors, Lindsey Hall and Chris Rogers, join host Eric Hanselman to talk about sustainability, supply chains and AI. These are tightly interwoven and their dependencies spill out into geopolitics, as well. Sustainability conversations have focused on climate adaptation and resilience. Climate risks are growing and yet only 35% of businesses have adaptation plans in place. The urgent demands for AI infrastructure are consuming both energy and the materials to build data centers. Meeting those needs is shifting sustainability priorities for the companies looking to deploy AI, as well as energy focus. Renewables are still a key part of energy plans, but they've moved to an all-of-the-above approach to fuel AI-driven consumption levels. It's been what could be called an un-fun year in supply chain. Uncertainty has become the new certainty. Changes in tariff policies have had the side effect of pushing the affected countries closer together. That's led to reshoring efforts, which have seen particular growth in ASEAN countries. One of complexities of this shift is that labor forces are now competing with manufacturing automation and robotics, rather than skills and cost differentials in different regions. The rise of agentic AI is only increasing pressure on infrastructure and energy supplies as it accelerates operational velocity.

Fresh out of the studio, we commemorated the 10th anniversary of the e-Conomy SEA [Southeast Asia] Report with Sapna Chadha from Google, Florian Hoppe from Bain & Company, and Cassie Wu from Temasek, celebrating a decade of tracking Southeast Asia's digital transformation. The panel reflected on the region's remarkable achievement of reaching $300 billion in GMV—exceeding the original $200 billion goal by 1.5x—alongside revenue growth of 11x over the past decade. The panellists examined pivotal themes including Southeast Asia's position as the world's most AI-curious region with three times more interest than elsewhere, the explosive rise of video commerce and the maturation of digital financial services. The conversation explored the expansion from SEA-6 to 10 ASEAN countries, the ecosystem's resilience through multiple crisis cycles, and the shift from growth-at-all-costs to sustainable profitability. The episode concludes with each panellist sharing their vision for 2030, emphasizing building trust in AI adoption, creating an inclusive AI economy that benefits SMEs alongside large platforms, and navigating the AI transition gracefully to unlock innovation while addressing employment challenges—underscoring Southeast Asia's evolution from digital catch-up player to global innovation leader rewriting the playbook for digital adoption."We set this audacious goal of 200 billion by 2025. People told us we were crazy. In 2016 when we put that ambition out there, we've actually reached 1.5x that and we've hit 300 billion. And so it's just reflective of this incredible economy." - Sapna Chadha"Indonesia e-commerce still I think is larger or about the same size as all of India e-commerce. And yet the attention tends to be a little bit veering away from Southeast Asia, but this is actually a real economic powerhouse I think for all of Asia Pacific." - Florian Hoppe"Southeast Asia as a region, as we think about digital economy adoption, we are not playing catch up anymore. In many ways we're leading the digital adoption. We're writing how digital economy, how digital adoption could look like for a population and demographic like us." - Cassie WuProfiles: Sapna Chadha, Vice President Southeast Asia and South Asia Frontier, Google Asia PacificFlorian Hoppe, Partner at Bain & CompanyCassie Wu, Director, Southeast Asia at Temaseke-Conomy SEA 2025: https://economysea.withgoogle.com/Episode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Sapna Chadha, Florian Hoppe & Cassie Wu[01:17] 10th anniversary of e-Conomy SEA Report[03:00] Digital economy hits 300 billion, exceeding goals[04:09] Ecosystem resilience through multiple crisis cycles[06:10] Report expands from SEA-6 to ASEAN-10[08:13] Southeast Asia most underappreciated AI opportunity[09:31] Indonesia e-commerce matches all of India[10:04] Region leading digital adoption, not catching up[12:13] Cash no longer king, payments fully inverted[13:00] Revenue growth 11x over past decade[15:00] 300 billion GMV despite headwinds and tariffs[16:00] Video commerce grew 5x in three years[19:03] Digital payments north of 60% of transactions[23:32] Super apps unique to Southeast Asia ecosystem[25:45] Data center capacity growing faster than anywhere[27:01] Lower labor costs delayed AI adoption initially[31:00] Ecosystem healthier than ever before[33:08] Talent is the critical AI bottleneck[35:19] Digital infrastructure must align with green economy[39:00] Southeast Asia remains globally underappreciated[40:39] Can Southeast Asia leapfrog into AI era[43:00] ClosingPodcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

The interview concludes by analyzing the anticlimactic Trump-Xi meeting, attributing the lack of confrontation to Xi Jinping's significantly weakened position due to China's shattered economy and internal power struggles.

He highlights growing dangers, including the rearming of Hezbollah by Iran and unexpectedly Turkey, forcing Israel to reconsider the northern front. He adds that the Israeli military is actively engaged in "constant gardening" to address armed gangs in the West Bank. 1045-1100 Hamas Leverage, Gaza Ruin, and Hezbollah Rearmament.

Joseph Sternberg analyzes the rise of extreme political figures like New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, warning conservatives that opponents' political mistakes do not guarantee their success, citing the UK's Jeremy Corbyn as a parallel. He notes that frustrated voters seek "sledgehammers" on both the left and right. In the UK, he details how Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Labour government are suffering plummeting approval due to economic mismanagement, forcing tax hikes and breaking promises, benefiting Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. 1130-1145 Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation. Colonel Jeff McCausland criticizes Secretary Hegseth's suggestion that resuming nuclear testing would make nuclear war "less likely," noting that the US deterrent is already credible and testing would destabilize adversaries. He highlights the excessive US military buildup near Venezuela, questioning the post-intervention mission, referencing the "Pottery Barn theory." Regarding Gaza, he suggests the potential creation of "two Gazas" leads to an indefinite, burdensome Israeli occupation and creates a breeding ground for future insurgency. 1145-1200 Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation.

The Canadians are angry, and the professional political class in Canada is doing everything they can to continue ramping up opposition to Donald Trump. With increased tariffs against Canada, and with the likely dissolution of the USMCA (CUSMA) coming in the near future, the Canadian govt of Mark Carney has been traveling the world to find alternative markets for their goods and services. The main targets for new Canadian economic and trade relations are the U.K, EU and China. In a deal to expand the trade relationship with China, the Canadian government of Mark Carney is now proposing to drop tariffs against Chinese EVs in a deal to sell more pork and canola oil. That's correct, in essence Canada will take the EV auto business abandoned by Mexico. This was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's grand plan as he attended the ASEAN summit in Malaysia. Keep in mind, as we have outlined all along during Trump's trade reset, the USMCA is going to be abandoned in favor of two bilateral free trade agreements; one with Mexico and one with Canada. As outlined in the Mexican decision to cancel EV investment, Mexico is aligning for a favorable trade relationship with President Trump and the USA. Canada may benefit in the short term from sales of pork and canola to Beijing, while simultaneously gaining Chinese investment in cobalt mining and auto development for EVs. But those EVs will never be permitted to cross the border into the USA and any effort to enhance Chinese EV sales in Canada will only disconnect them more from trade with Donald Trump and the USA.
