So, the fifth month of 2026 is complete - and it was another one dominated by the impacts of the US/Israel war in Iran/Lebanon. This week, Gary and Hannah recap May's top 8 travel takeaways from across ASEAN and beyond with stopovers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia, plus China, India and the UK. En route, we discuss flight route cuts across South East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, and look at whether plans for an ASEAN reserve stockpile of crude oil would ease future jet fuel shocks. Meanwhile, visitor arrivals slowed in key markets and cratered in Cambodia and currency values fell sharply in Indonesia and Thailand. On a brighter note, carriers in Singapore and Malaysia are seeing growth on routes with Australia and Europe. Plus, we assess the surge of Indian tourists to Vietnam, and address the potential benefits of Xiaohongshu's impressive tourism tie-up in Singapore .

She reflects on how attitudes towards food travel have changed and why people are increasingly planning trips around what they want to eat.And in Malaysia, Pauline Lee from Simply Enak describes the work involved in creating memorable food tours in a growing and increasingly competitive market, where guides must balance logistics, hospitality and cultural storytelling alongside the food itself.From hidden local gems to global tourism trends, we explore why food tours have become big business — and what travellers are really looking for when they book them.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.ukProducer: Izzy Greenfield Sound engineer: Andy Mills Picture: Simple Enak

  Ian Jessop interviews William Angolia about his 1985 construction site accident, subsequent chronic migraines and blindness, and his recovery through cannabis use. A falling sprinkler pipe caused blunt force trauma, a detached retina, permanent blindness in the right eye, and daily debilitating migraines that left William bedridden and unable to work for three years. Prescribed pharmaceuticals, including morphine-level medications, provided insufficient relief and prevented William from holding a full-time job. In 1988, a fellow patient suggested cannabis for migraines; William researched it, found documented evidence that THC lowers eye pressure in head trauma patients, and began smoking a couple of joints daily. Within three and a half weeks of starting cannabis and stopping pharmaceuticals, William experienced his first full migraine-free day, followed by weeks, months, and then years without significant headaches. Rehabilitation also addressed the practical challenges of monocular vision — learning to turn left instead of right, choosing seating positions at events, and compensating for the right-side blind spot. William became a cannabis legalization activist, sharing his story across the Northeast and contributing to Washington D.C.'s Initiative 71 in 2010, which he helped see through to fruition. Arbitrary THC blood-level thresholds (e.g., 0.04 microns) used to define impairment are flawed — no scientific test exists to determine actual cannabis impairment, meaning regular users can be convicted of DUI without being impaired. A pre-travel abstinence period before visiting Malaysia highlighted that stopping cannabis caused migraines to return, reinforcing its ongoing therapeutic role. Doctors in Thailand confirmed they had no pharmaceutical equivalent that could match cannabis for William's pain relief, and none discouraged its continued use. Cannabis access in Thailand is becoming more restrictive despite its 6,000-year history as an herb, driven by government desire for control within the monarchy. William advocates strongly for the right to home-grow, offering free grow classes and teaching tincture, oil, and extraction methods to reduce dependence on heavily taxed dispensary products. Replenishing the endocannabinoid system with cannabinoids allows the body to heal itself naturally — William argues this is straightforward science that pharmaceuticals and poor lifestyle choices undermine. Beyond migraines, William credits cannabis and healthy living for avoiding major health issues, surviving heavy COVID-era exposure, and managing hip pain without any pharmaceutical pain medication at age 69. Gratitude centers on being alive, self-sufficient, and healthy — with strong family longevity (mother lived to 99) and a goal of another 20 years — while his father's early death at 59 from lung cancer reinforced his lifelong commitment to avoiding bodily pollutants.

We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

What does it take for a single idea to travel from a research lab in New Haven to war zones in Uganda, refugee camps in Malaysia, and clinics across 30 countries and six continents? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Myrna Weissman, one of the most consequential figures in modern psychiatry, to find out.Dr. Weissman co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, on a simple premise: that human suffering is deeply tied to human connection. Grief. Conflict. Loneliness. Life upended. These are not niche clinical categories, but rather a universal language of distress. And IPT was built to respond to it.In this conversation, Dr. Weissman reflects on five decades of research, the pandemic-era project that became a sweeping global volume (now available free via open access), and what it means to build something that outlives its origins. *This episode briefly mentions suicide.(Re-post: This is one of our most beloved episodes, brought back by popular demand. If you've heard it before, we hope it moves you just as much the second time.)What Is Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Why Does It Work?IPT links the emergence of psychiatric symptoms to what is happening in a person's current life. It focuses on four core problem areas:1. Grief — the loss of a loved one2. Disputes — conflict with someone important to you3. Transitions — life changes, even positive ones, that disrupt relationships4. Loneliness/Isolation — chronic or newly developed lack of attachmentThese four areas have proven to resonate across vastly different cultures because they reflect fundamental aspects of the human condition. Dr. Weissman emphasizes that IPT is not the only evidence-based psychotherapy — it is “one tool in the toolbox, not a religion.”IPT for AdolescentsAdolescence is a prime time for IPT's problem areas, especially disputes, transitions, and loneliness. Key takeaways for parents:• Try to understand the specific stressors behind an adolescent's symptoms rather than reacting to global, dramatic statements.• Always be alert to the possibility of suicidal ideation.• Communication barriers between teens and parents are common; a trusted third party (grandparent, therapist, family friend) can sometimes serve as a valuable bridge.The New Book: IPT Around the WorldThis book is now available open access for readers everywhere!The COVID-19 pandemic gave Dr. Weissman the unexpected opportunity to connect with IPT practitioners worldwide. What began as a routine update to the standard IPT manual grew into a sweeping collaborative volume covering more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Contributors were asked: What are you doing? What works? What doesn't? What adaptations did you need to make?Notable chapters include:• Uganda — IPT was introduced around 2003 amid civil war and a mental health crisis. A landmark clinical trial published in JAMA confirmed its effectiveness. Sean Mabry, a former WHO worker, went on to treat hundreds of thousands of people using IPT, even by telephone during the pandemic, and has now established a low-cost program in New Jersey.• China — After government engagement and training by Columbia experts, IPT became what practitioners called a “rapidly growing practice,” with books, training programs, and internet-based delivery.• Malaysia — IPT has been applied with refugees, using the “transitions” framework to help people process displacement and profound loss.• Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Zambia, Uganda) — Adaptations have been made for cultural context, including how disputes are communicated and resolved within different family and community structures.• Japan and Hong Kong — Initial resistance to psychotherapy has given way to growing acceptance and translated materials.• United States special populations — Chapters cover Alaska Natives, people who are incarcerated, sexual and gender minorities, pre-adolescents, adolescents, and older adults.Cultural AdaptationsDr. Weissman shares a vivid example from Uganda: women in marital disputes are often encouraged not to confront their husbands directly, but to work through an elder who mediates. The underlying IPT principle, that the dispute is driving the symptoms, remains intact; only the implementation changes.Resources Mentioned• International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) — volunteer-run, affordable membership, biannual international conference (10th meeting held in the UK, March 2024)• Dr. Weissman's new book on IPT across international sites — published Open Access, freely available to practitioners and researchers worldwide• Oxford University Press — publisher of the standard IPT manualAbout the GuestDr. Myrna Weissman is the Diana Goldman Kemper Family Professor of Epidemiology and Psychiatry at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Mailman School of Public Health, and Chief of the Division of Translational Epidemiology at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, she co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), now backed by over 140 clinical trials, translated into numerous languages, and recommended by the World Health Organization.

Missionary. Mentor. Storyteller. In this unforgettable message, Mike Constantine shares raw stories from 45 years on the mission field—from Nigeria to Malaysia—and reveals the kind of joy the world can't manufacture. "The Joy of Discovery" is more than a missions message. It's a call to discover the deep fulfillment that only comes from saying YES to God. Through hilarious moments, powerful testimonies, spontaneous songs, and deeply moving encounters, Mike reminds us that joy is not just an emotion—it's the contentment that comes from living in the Father's will. From former Jehovah's Witnesses encountering grace for the first time… to hidden seasons of failure, fear, and frustration… to unexpected open doors across the nations—this message will stir your faith and challenge your comfort zone. If you've ever wondered: • "Can God really use someone like me?" • "What if I fail?" • "What if my 'yes' changes everything?" …then this message is for you. You'll laugh. You may cry. But most of all, you'll leave wanting more of the Master's joy. Key themes: • The difference between happiness and true joy • Discovering purpose through obedience • Missions, calling, and surrender • Grace in seasons of failure • How God uses unlikely people • Living for something eternal "One yes to God can open windows you never knew existed." Listen now and discover the joy found only in the will of the Father.

Jianggan Li, Founder of Momentum Works, joins Jeremy Au to unpack the Trump Xi Beijing summit, the first US presidential visit to China since 2017. They decode the optics of Zhongnanhai Garden and the Temple of Heaven, Xi Jinping's Thucydides Trap reference, the 200 plane Boeing deal, and why the absence of major deliverables is itself a strategic win. The conversation dives deep into the AI chip war, why NVIDIA's market share in China collapsed from 95% to under 10%, how the US export ban accelerated Chinese semiconductor self-reliance, and DeepSeek's reported 50 billion RMB funding round with the founder personally contributing 20 billion. They examine why Jensen Huang was added to Trump's delegation last minute, Elon Musk's unique position with Tesla in China, how Chinese state subsidies flow through local governments, and why founders like the Manus team made costly domicile mistakes. For Southeast Asia founders, VCs, and operators in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this episode reveals why both superpowers settled into managed competition rather than decisive split, and what it means for global supply chains, AI models, and capital flows in 2026.

Twists and turns can be expected for the rest of this year. Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times will now analyse the hottest political and trending talking points, alternating between its Malaysia and Greater China bureaus. For May, host and deputy foreign editor Albert Wai teams up again with senior China correspondent Yew Lun Tian. Their focus is on the Xi-Trump summit held in Beijing from May 13-14, 2026. Heading into the event, expectations were modest as US President Donald Trump appeared to be distracted by war in the Middle East. At first glance, the deliverables might have seemed slightly underwhelming. But the bottomline is both men got a bit of what they needed. Mr Trump got purchases for Boeing jets, agricultural products and possibly energy, while Chinese President Xi Jinping articulated a “new positioning” of bilateral relations. There are also implications for cross-strait ties, with Beijing framing the Taiwan issue as something to be treated with utmost caution while Washington signalled that it might be rethinking the latest tranche of arms sales to the island. With many geopolitical issues on the agenda, the tariff war appeared to have taken a back seat. Nonetheless, the announcement on the boards on trade and investment has opened up additional and much-needed room for dialogue. There are at least three more bouts of engagement between Mr Trump and Mr Xi for the rest of this year, and plenty of opportunities for both sides to bargain and make deals.

In 1993, the World Bank published a report on a remarkable development story.East Asia's post-war growth — Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and their neighbours — had lifted millions out of poverty in a generation. The report documented the influence of export subsidies, state-directed credit, land reform, and government-business dialogue. But the bank, constrained by the Washington Consensus of the time, underplayed the industrial policies that were at the heart of this miracle.Nancy Birdsall was head of the department that produced the report. In this week's VoxDev Talk, she looks back, talking to Tim Phillips about whether this stance affected policy in other developing countries.Birdsall tells Tim Phillips how the report came to exist at all — financed by the Japanese government as a deliberate strategy to expose the bank's economists to a success story their prevailing framework couldn't explain. With industrial policy back at the centre of economic debate, Birdsall's new article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives asks whether the bank missed its moment to embed those lessons into its operational work. The research behind this episode:Birdsall, Nancy. 2025.

She was previously executive vice president of the Inter-American Development Bank and, before that, director of the Policy Research Department at the World Bank, where she oversaw the department responsible for the East Asian Miracle report. Her research spans development finance, inequality, economic growth and the role of multilateral institutions in the global economy.Research cited in this episodeThe East Asian Miracle (World Bank, 1993). A 400-page study of the economic performance of eight high-performing Asian economies — Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand — covering the period 1965 to 1990. Commissioned with Japanese government funding, the report documented both market fundamentals and a range of active state policies; its handling of industrial policy was carefully hedged to remain within the bounds of what the bank's dominant Washington Consensus framework could accept. The full report is available from the World Bank Open Knowledge Repository.The Washington Consensus. A term coined by economist John Williamson in 1989 to describe the package of macroeconomic and structural reforms — fiscal discipline, trade liberalisation, privatisation, deregulation and market-determined prices — that the IMF, World Bank and US Treasury broadly promoted as the framework for development in the late 1980s and 1990s. The consensus was dominant inside the bank during the period the East Asian Miracle report was written; countries following activist state policies did not fit its categories easily.MITI (Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry). The Japanese government body responsible for coordinating industrial and trade policy during Japan's post-war growth period, including the direction of credit, protection of infant industries and promotion of heavy manufacturing exports. MITI was widely known inside the bank, but its role in Japan's development was not systematically studied or incorporated into the bank's policy advice until the East Asian Miracle report. It was abolished and reorganised as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) in 2001.Performance-based credit subsidies. A mechanism used across several East Asian economies in which exporters could access subsidised credit conditional on demonstrating actual export orders. The conditionality — credit only if you are already performing — was central to why the policy worked: it rewarded productive firms and withdrew support from those that failed to deliver. The East Asian Miracle report described this approach in detail without classifying it as industrial policy.Japan's postal savings system. A government-run savings scheme that channelled household deposits through post offices into state-directed investment, providing below-market returns to savers while funding subsidised credit to targeted sectors. Birdsall notes it as a mechanism worth studying for developing countries seeking to finance industrial support without relying on private capital markets.Indonesia and the airplane sector. The Indonesian government under Suharto sought to develop a domestic aerospace industry, with state subsidies to Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (IPTN). The World Bank's East Asia regional department, which managed the bank's lending relationship with Indonesia, was concerned that the East Asian Miracle report might be read as endorsing this approach. Their pressure to limit the report's treatment of industrial policy is the episode's opening anecdote — and the source of what is possibly the best line in the show.IDB report on public-private dialogue in Latin America. Birdsall references work by the Inter-American Development Bank on the conditions under which structured dialogue between government bureaucrats and private-sector firms can support industrial policy; she notes that access at the highest levels of government — including the president — appears to be a factor in whether such dialogues produce results. More VoxDev Talks on this topicIndustrial policy for economic development, Dani Rodrik on the evidence for active state roles in directing investment and exports, and the institutional prerequisites for making them work.The future of the World Bank: Why knowledge is power, Penny Goldberg on the bank's role as a producer and broker of development knowledge, and how that function has evolved since the Washington Consensus era.Related reading on VoxDevModern industrial policy: The Asian miracles' blueprint, a VoxDev Talk examining how the principles behind East Asian industrial success — performance conditionality, export orientation, technology learning — can be translated into policy frameworks for today's developing economies.Where are we in the economics of industrial policies?, what three decades of research have established about when and why industrial policy works, and what conditions determine whether government intervention helps or hinders.Implementing industrial policy effectively: Lessons from shipbuilding in China, how policy design and performance conditionality determine whether sector-level support produces lasting productivity gains — the same question at the heart of the East Asian Miracle debate.

This talk argues that the ethnic conflicts of Southeast Europe are not the result of “ancient hatreds,” but of a specific historical configuration shaped during the Ottoman period. Under Ottoman rule, earlier forms of statehood did not disappear but survived in memory and identity in a kind of “suspended animation,” while at the same time demographic structures were significantly reshaped. Conflict emerged where these two processes intersected. In regions such as Kosovo, Bosnia, Vojvodina, and Transylvania, one group could claim historical precedence based on earlier statehood, while another could claim legitimacy based on later demographic dominance. The Greek–Turkish case shows a similar pattern, where a Byzantine territorial memory and Turkish nationhood collided over territories that became ethnically mixed during the Ottoman rule. The result is a particular type of conflict: not between truth and falsehood, but between competing and internally coherent forms of historical legitimacy — where both sides can plausibly claim that the land is, in different senses, their own.

Khoảng 88% tổng lượng dầu thô nhập khẩu của Việt Nam được nhập từ vùng Vịnh Ba Tư, chỉ đứng sau Philippines (95%) và đứng trước các nước Malaysia (69%), Thái Lan (59%) và Singapore (52%), theo Ngân hàng Đầu tư Maybank (1). Kuwait là nhà cung cấp dầu thô lớn nhất cho Việt Nam, chiếm 80% tổng lượng nhập khẩu. Khoảng 49% khối lượng khí hóa lỏng LNG nhập khẩu của Việt Nam cũng có xuất xứ từ Vùng Vịnh (2). Sự phụ thuộc nghiêm trọng vào gần như một nước, một khu vực vẫn được coi là “chảo lửa” Trung Đông, được phản ánh rõ trong cuộc khủng hoảng eo biển Hormuz.  Ngoài ra, Việt Nam có kho dự trữ dầu chiến lược nhỏ nhất Đông Nam Á, trong khi việc đa dạng hóa các nguồn năng lượng chưa hoàn toàn mang lại hiệu quả. Đọc thêmViệt Nam đối mặt với tình trạng thiếu xăng dầu vì nguồn cung ứng bị gián đoạn Theo một tài liệu của bộ Công Thương, được Reuters trích dẫn ngày 18/03/2026, Việt Nam cũng phải đối mặt với việc các mỏ dầu ngoài khơi đang dần cạn kiệt, khiến sản lượng dầu thô nội địa dự kiến ​​sẽ bị giảm trong thập niên này, chỉ còn khoảng 5,8 đến 8 triệu tấn/năm, thấp hơn mức bình quân 8,6 triệu tấn của 5 năm gần nhất. Do đó, Việt Nam có nguy cơ phụ thuộc nhiều hơn vào nguồn nhập khẩu dầu lửa do hệ thống lọc dầu cần lượng nguyên liệu lớn hơn rất nhiều để đáp ứng nhu cầu ngày càng lớn ở trong nước. UNCLOS nói gì về khai thác dầu khí trong vùng tranh chấp chủ quyền ? Về lâu dài, Việt Nam dự trù tăng cường hoạt động thăm dò, trong đó có việc đưa ra các ưu đãi cho các công ty dầu khí quốc tế đầu tư vào các mỏ ngoài khơi. Mục tiêu là nâng cao trữ lượng có thể khai thác thêm 13 triệu đến 17 triệu tấn dầu thô mỗi năm trong giai đoạn 2026-2030. Khủng hoảng năng lượng ở Trung Đông đã thúc đẩy Philippines nêu khả năng thăm dò dầu khí với Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông, nơi đang có tranh chấp chủ quyền. Liệu Việt Nam có làm như vậy với Trung Quốc ? Thực ra, ngay năm 2005, Trung Quốc, Việt Nam và Philippines đã có thỏa thuận ba bên về “Khảo sát Địa chấn biển chung” (Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking, JSMU) tại khu vực “theo thỏa thuận” rộng 142.886 km² ở Biển Đông, bao gồm một phần quần đảo Trường Sa. Thỏa thuận này kéo dài ba năm và hết hạn vào năm 2008. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt, giảng viên-nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, Đại học Công giáo Lyon và Trường Sư phạm Lyon, nhận định : “Cả Philippines và Việt Nam đều coi đó là cơ hội để cải thiện quan hệ chính trị, kinh tế và quân sự với Trung Quốc, đồng thời thúc đẩy phát triển chung các nguồn tài nguyên có thể sẽ rất khó khai thác vì những căng thẳng”. Đọc thêmViệt Nam có bị ảnh hưởng từ hợp tác dầu khí Trung Quốc - Philippines ở Biển Đông? Ý định này vẫn chỉ nằm trên giấy tờ vì những đòi hỏi chủ quyền của Trung Quốc đối với hầu hết Biển Đông, cho dù bị vô hiệu hóa trong phán quyết năm 2016 của Tòa Trọng Tài Thường Trực (PCA) La Haye. Tuy nhiên, các bên vẫn không từ bỏ nỗ lực tìm kiếm một thỏa hiệp, dù chỉ là tạm thời, theo giải thích của nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon : “Theo luật quốc tế, khi nhiều quốc gia cùng tuyên bố chủ quyền đối với một vùng biển (vùng đặc quyền kinh tế hoặc thềm lục địa chồng lấn), Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển (UNCLOS) 1982 quy định nghĩa vụ hợp tác. Thông qua Điều 74 và 83, Công ước quy định các quốc gia phải đàm phán thiện chí để đạt được sự phân định công bằng và không được làm tổn hại hoặc cản trở một thỏa thuận trong tương lai. Cụ thể, điều này có nghĩa là việc khai thác dầu khí đơn phương tiềm ẩn rủi ro pháp lý tại khu vực tranh chấp giữa nhiều quốc gia theo luật quốc tế. Công ước cũng khuyến khích các giải pháp tạm thời. Công ước quy định các quốc gia có thể ký kết các thỏa thuận tạm thời mang tính thực tiễn trong khi chờ phân định cuối cùng. Chính trong khuôn khổ pháp lý này mà các khu vực phát triển chung về dầu khí đang được phát triển. Tuy nhiên, cần nhấn mạnh rằng Công ước không đề cập đến phương pháp cần tuân theo. Do đó, Công ước không định nghĩa một cơ chế tiêu chuẩn cho việc quản lý chung dầu khí, cũng không thiết lập các quy tắc chia sẻ doanh thu hoặc quản trị, cũng không tạo ra một thể chế cụ thể cho các khu vực tranh chấp này. Do đó, các phương thức cụ thể (chia sẻ, thuế, nhà điều hành…) hoàn toàn được đàm phán song phương hoặc trong khu vực giữa các quốc gia”. Đọc thêmViệt Nam bảo vệ chủ quyền ở Biển Đông như nào ? Tiền lệ về gác tranh chấp chủ quyền để cùng thăm dò khai thác Trường hợp tranh chấp chủ quyền trên biển nhưng vẫn hợp tác khai thác dầu khí không phải là hiếm trên thế giới, theo nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon : “Hai mô hình khu vực phát triển chung có thể được nêu ra làm ví dụ để các bên ở Biển Đông, đặc biệt là Việt Nam, có thể tham khảo. Thứ nhất là Khu vực Phát triển Chung Nigeria-São Tomé và Príncipe (Nigeria-São Tomé and Príncipe Joint Development Zone), liên quan đến hoạt động khai thác dầu khí trong vùng biển mà cả hai quốc gia đều tuyên bố chủ quyền ở Vịnh Guinea. Thứ hai là Khu vực Phát triển Chung Malaysia-Thái Lan (Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area, MTJDA), liên quan đến việc khai thác khí đốt tự nhiên trong khu vực tranh chấp giữa Malaysia và Thái Lan, nằm ở Vịnh Thái Lan. Có thể thấy rõ rằng bất chấp những khó khăn, sự hợp tác giữa các bên tuyên bố có quyền về dầu khí ở Biển Đông là khả thi và có thể được thực hiện phù hợp với cả luật pháp quốc tế và luật pháp quốc gia”. Bãi Tư Chính : Việt Nam khẳng định chủ quyền nhưng không khai thác được Tài nguyên dầu khí của Việt Nam tập trung quanh bãi Tư Chính (Vanguard Bank), chiếm khoảng 10% nhu cầu năng lượng của đất nước. Hà Nội khẳng định khu vực nhà giàn DK1, trong đó có bãi Tư Chính, nằm trong vùng đặc quyền kinh tế 200 hải lý tính từ đường cơ sở của Việt Nam và là thềm lục địa phía nam Việt Nam, hoàn toàn phù hợp với UNCLOS 1982. Vùng biển này không tranh chấp với nước nào, và lại càng không tranh chấp với Trung Quốc. Ngược lại, Bắc Kinh và Đài Bắc cho rằng bãi Tư Chính thuộc quần đảo Trường Sa, đang có tranh chấp chủ quyền. Trung Quốc thường xuyên tuần tra tại đây nhằm đe dọa Việt Nam và làm gián đoạn hoạt động của các công ty dầu khí khai thác trong khu vực. Tháng 07/2017, tập đoàn Repsol của Tây Ban Nha phải ngừng hoạt động thăm dò khí đốt tại mỏ Cá Rồng Đỏ ở khu vực bãi Tư Chính. Trong suốt ba tuần tháng 07/2019, Trung Quốc đưa tàu thăm dò Hải Dương 8 (Haiyang Dizhi 8), được nhiều tàu hải cảnh và dân quân biển hộ tống, xâm nhập vùng đặc quyền kinh tế và thềm lục địa Việt Nam tại khu vực bãi Tư Chính. Hoạt động gây rối này tái diễn trong những năm 2023, 2024. Đọc thêmBãi Tư Chính : Việt Nam nên để ngỏ khả năng kiện Trung Quốc Song song với việc “quấy rối” hoạt động thăm dò dầu khí của Việt Nam và tiếp tục đòi chủ quyền đối với hầu hết Biển Đông, từ năm 2017, Trung Quốc cũng “tích cực” đề xuất một số dự án phát triển chung ở Biển Đông với Việt Nam và Philippines. Động cơ đằng sau đề xuất này là gì ? Nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon giải thích : “Động cơ của Bắc Kinh có thể được xem xét cả về kinh tế và địa chiến lược. Về kinh tế, việc khai thác tài nguyên năng lượng ở Biển Đông cho phép Trung Quốc đáp ứng nhu cầu năng lượng trong nước ngày càng tăng. Hơn nữa, bất kỳ động thái hội nhập khu vực nào cũng nằm trong khuôn khổ rộng lớn hơn của Hiệp định Đối tác Kinh tế Toàn diện Khu vực (RCEP), do Bắc Kinh khởi xướng và có hiệu lực từ tháng 01/2022. Về mặt địa-chiến lược, các sáng kiến ​​chung với các quốc gia giáp Biển Đông cho phép Trung Quốc tăng cường quan hệ hợp tác với những nước này. Về lâu dài, sự gần gũi đó có thể góp phần làm suy yếu mối quan hệ giữa các quốc gia này với Hoa Kỳ và từ đó củng cố vị thế của Bắc Kinh trong bối cảnh cạnh tranh Trung-Mỹ”. Những bị động do phụ thuộc quá lớn vào nguồn cung năng lượng Trung Đông có khiến Hà Nội thay đổi quan điểm về thỏa thuận khai thác chung và chia sẻ công bằng nguồn năng lượng ở Biển Đông không ? Liệu có khả năng Việt Nam và Trung Quốc hợp tác trong tương lai gần hay không ? Nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon nhận định : “Có khả năng hợp tác cho dù hai nước, Trung Quốc và Việt Nam, không từ bỏ các tuyên bố chủ quyền của họ bởi vì Việt Nam có những lập luận bảo vệ chủ quyền ở Biển Đông, nhưng họ có thể gác lại khía cạnh chủ quyền này hoặc đồng ý gác lại để tập trung vào các cơ chế thực tế để quản lý tài nguyên mà trong trường hợp này, là quản lý tài nguyên dầu mỏ. Đúng là nhiều nguồn tài nguyên đang được khai thác, và một số đang gần cạn kiệt. Nhưng không phải tất cả các nguồn tài nguyên ở Biển Đông đều đã được xác định. Trong khuôn khổ quản lý thực tiễn chung các nguồn tài nguyên dầu khí ở Biển Đông giữa Trung Quốc và Việt Nam, có thể sẽ có các đợt thăm dò chung nhằm xác định các mỏ dầu khí hoặc khí đốt tự nhiên mới, sau đó sẽ được khai thác và chia sẻ chung. Đọc thêmViệt Nam, Malaysia, Philippines: Gác tranh chấp, chống Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông? Thực tế cho thấy Việt Nam phụ thuộc vào nguồn cung dầu mỏ Trung Đông. Nhìn vào tình hình bất ổn hiện nay ở Trung Đông, đặc biệt là những khó khăn do các “điểm kiểm soát” - tức là các eo biển chiến lược - gây ra thì hiện giờ đang có rất nhiều tranh luận liên quan đến eo biển Hormuz, đang bị cả Iran và Mỹ phong tỏa. Ngoài ra còn phải nhắc đến eo biển Malacca, một eo biển nhạy cảm, nơi trung chuyển một phần rất lớn dầu mỏ dành cho các nước ở Đông Nam Á và và Đông Bắc Á. Vì vậy, sự phụ thuộc vào các đặc điểm địa lý có thể trở nên rất nhạy cảm từ góc độ địa-chính trị, đang thúc đẩy Việt Nam tìm cách xác định các nguồn tài nguyên dầu mỏ có thể khai thác được mà không cần đi qua những nơi tiềm ẩn nhiều vấn đề từ góc độ địa-chính trị như vậy”. Để có thể đi đến một quyết định, chắc chắn sẽ gây tranh cãi, nhưng mang tính thiết yếu cho nguồn cung năng lượng Việt Nam Nam, nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon cho răng, “các liên doanh được thành lập trong khuôn khổ quản lý chung không nên bị coi là một bước thụt lùi hoặc là một thất bại, mà là một cơ chế thực dụng được thiết lập trong khi chờ đợi một giải pháp dứt khoát, mà không phán xét về việc phân định ranh giới sau này các vùng biển liên quan và không đặt ra nghi vấn về các tuyên bố chủ quyền lãnh thổ của mỗi bên”.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Tom Needham - teacher, school leader, and author of Engelmann's Direct Instruction in Action - to explore what direct instruction really means. Marking the final book in the In Action series, the conversation digs into Siegfried Engelmann's work, from the power of carefully sequenced examples and non-examples to the importance of “sameness,” big ideas, generative content, and tightly designed practice. Tom explains how direct instruction transformed his teaching of English, particularly for pupils who had struggled with writing, spelling and foundational skills, while also showing how its principles apply across subjects from maths and science to history and geography. Along the way, they discuss the philosophical and practical objections to scripted programmes, the role of teacher expertise in curriculum design, and why precise instruction can be a route to greater pupil success, confidence and independence.Tom Needham has been teaching for nearly twenty years.

Oggi dire Malaysia significa dire i due terzi della potenza di calcolo in costruzione nell'intera regione. Significa dire l'unico luogo al mondo, fuori dalla Cina, capace di raffinare le terre rare pesanti indispensabili per i magneti dell'intelligenza artificiale e per i sistemi missilistici del Pentagono. Una trasformazione che si paga: in acqua sottratta alle popolazioni, in energia prodotta per alimentare server stranieri, e nella fuga di imprenditori a cui i data center rischiano di rovinare gli affari.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan explains why President Trump is racing against the clock to lower gas prices, ease grocery bills, and stabilize the economy before early voting begins in the midterm elections, all while the war with Iran continues to squeeze global oil markets and the Strait of Hormuz remains jammed. He breaks down Trump's push to suspend federal gas and diesel taxes, the challenges of lowering beef prices through foreign imports, and why June 1 may be a critical deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz before global oil markets face deeper long-term damage. Bryan also examines whether the GOP has a backup plan to hold the House and Senate if voters remain frustrated with inflation, energy prices, housing costs, and the economic fallout from the Iran war. Plus, Bryan covers a controversial rise in cloud seeding and geoengineering efforts from Malaysia to the American West, warning that efforts to manipulate rainfall may carry real risks without stronger oversight. He also highlights the darker side of the AI revolution, including Chinese companies using AI-generated fake American businesses to scam consumers, before closing with hopeful medical news on AI-assisted pancreatic cancer detection, ER diagnosis, and a fascinating study showing that babies in the womb may "catch" yawns from their mothers.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump gas tax suspension 2026 diesel prices Iran war impact, Strait of Hormuz June 1 deadline global oil market crisis, beef prices foreign import quota Trump grocery bills, midterm elections GOP House Senate forecast 2026, Alabama redistricting Supreme Court House seats Cook Political Report, cloud seeding geo engineering Rainmaker drones Utah Idaho drought, Malaysia rice drought cloud seeding military planes, Chinese AI scam fake American businesses online shopping fraud, AI pancreatic cancer detection ER diagnosis OpenAI study, fetal yawning mother baby AI research, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Most teams don't fail because of strategy. They fail because people can't align. In this episode of The Jason Cavness Experience, I sit down with Mimi Nguyen to break down why teams struggle to work together and what actually fixes it. Mimi has lived across Vietnam, the United States, and Malaysia, and brings a rare perspective on culture, communication, and decision-making. She's led initiatives that drove a $7M+ uplift and achieved 90% product adoption. But the real story is how she got teams to stop working against each other. We get into the uncomfortable truth: misaligned incentives, poor communication, and lack of trust kill more progress than bad ideas ever will.  This is a video podcast available on YouTube and podcast platforms. What We Talked About • Why most teams are misaligned from the start • The real reason projects fail inside companies • How Mimi aligned marketing, sales, and operations • The $7M+ uplift project breakdown • Driving 90% adoption through behavior change • Why trust is harder than data • Data vs intuition in decision-making • The limits of AI in data science • Cultural intelligence as a competitive advantage • Living and working across Vietnam, Malaysia, and the U.S.  • Fear of putting yourself out there and staying private Connect with Mimi Nguyen  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mimin11/ Connect with Jason Cavness  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasoncavness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejasoncavnessexperience/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jasoncavness Podcast: https://www.thejasoncavnessexperience.com Military Creator Con  I'll be speaking at Military Creator Con on leveraging content to create opportunities.  Sign up here: https://bit.ly/speaker_jason_cavness_social Power Note Alignment beats intelligence.

Sam Faddis is a brilliant former CIA spy who spent much of his career countering Iranian efforts to bring “Death to America.” With President Trump's necessary rejection to what amounted to Iran's demand for our surrender, Sam's recommendation is to stop talking to the regime in Tehran and “go for the jugular.” That would involve the following: targeting critical nodes of Iran's oil infrastructure, border crossings with Pakistan and communications, while seizing two dozen ghost tankers full of Iranian oil off Malaysia and imposing a nationwide no-fly zone.  Mr. Faddis also urges President Trump to cancel his impending trip to China and sanction its companies enabling Iran to continue waging war against us. As Sam pointed out in a webinar last week, doing otherwise invites not Xi Jinping's help to us, but will embolden him further to help our enemies in Tehran. This is Frank Gaffney.

I’m finally back home in Malaysia (at least for a little while) after a truly “round-the-world” trip, and today I want to briefly cover a few different topics including a critical ministry update in Iran and a strategic opportunity in China later this year. I'm your China travel guide in exile, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city to pray for every single day. Feel free to email anytime: chinacompass @ privacyport.com. Check out PrayGiveGo.us for everything else, incl.

Paton (JohnGPaton.com) Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Unbeaten: My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China (Unbeaten.vip) Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.
