Founder and CEO of APAC Advisors Steve Okun joins Jim and Ray to talk about the suddenly raging trade war between the U.S. and China and what kind of impact it may have on the global trading system.Steve observes that international investment is largely frozen due to the uncertainty about what the U.S. goals are, which tariffs are temporary versus permanent, and whether the U.S. and China can come to a negotiated settlement.Steve also explains that while China has certainly exploited its advantage in manufacturing, the U.S. has long enjoyed its own advantage in the services sectors–such as entertainment, finance, health, and tourism. He says these U.S. industries may suffer under a more restrictive trade environment.The discussion also turns to international organizations and groupings like the World Trade Organization, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and whether they are losing influence in the global system as the big powers go their own way. Steve then speculates how U.S-China trade talks may proceed - and what cards Donald Trump and Xi Jinping believe they still have to play. Regardless, he expects continued volatility to continue as a new normal moving forward.Follow Steve Okun on his very popular LinkedIn profile, or at his consultancy, APAC Advisors.Follow us on X, @IndoPacPodcast; or on LinkedIn or BlueSky at our show title, Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific?Follow Ray Powell on X (@GordianKnotRay) or on LinkedIn.Follow Jim Carouso on LinkedIn.Our podcast is produced by Ian Ellis-Jones and IEJ Media (on X @ianellisjones or LinkedIn).This podcast is sponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific.

The United States and China are at a crossroads today. Will the two nations be enemies, or will they continue to engage with each other? Mary Brown Bullock, who first visited China nearly 50 years ago, explores this question in her latest book, China on My Mind. Her memoir describes being a missionary child in Asia, studying China from afar, leading the first exchanges of students, being a college president, and establishing an American university in China. Dr. Bullock, an optimist and long-term participant, concludes with today's uncertainty as many institutions including Duke University, Ford Foundation, China Medical Board, United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia, and others face a new era of relations with China. In an interview conducted on December 21, 2023, Mary Brown Bullock discusses the past, present, future of U.S-China relations through the lenses of a trained historian, an academic administrator, and a frequent visitor.

On March 5th, Chinese outgoing Premier Li Keqiang opened the National People's Congress meeting with his annual Work Report and revealed a growth target of “around 5%”, the lowest since 1976. For decades, the country had expanded by more than 10% annually. Even though China missed its target last year by a wide margin due to its zero-Covid policy, not many people expected this low of a target from Xi Jinping's government. What kind of economic policy will China need to adopt to revive its economy, and where is the future of the U.S-China economic relationship?

Participating in Vostok-22 military games on one hand and hosting a crucial Quad official meeting on the other, India continues to maintain its balancing act in international politics. How will juggling this diplomatic dilemma that has risen after the Ukraine crisis fare in the long run? Although India has restricted its involvement in certain aspects of military activities in Vostok, how will the other engagements in the East affect its global perception? With Washington approving a sale of about 1.1 billion dollars of weapons to Taiwan amidst heightened U.S-China tension, will the Indo-Pacific be able to maintain its security, stability and balance in the coming decades? The commissioning of INS Vikrant has been a significant moment in India's indigenous defence expedition. But is it time for India to pick pace with reviewing its Marine Doctrine, especially with new disruptive military technologies emerging in China?

Introduction: There are less than two months for the Christmas. With the increasing inflation caused by earlier high tariffs of U.S-China trade war, and nearly two years of pandemic, the price of every consumer goods goes up. Yet, many of us feel that we have to observe the holiday season with gifts, decorations, food, travel and many so called necessities for the season. In today's episode, Dr. Esther Lee, a stock trader and investor, is offering some basic tips in four areas to control our Christmas budget and to avoid post holiday's blues.
Topics Discussed and Key Points:● What exactly is “antitrust” and why is it so important in the relationship between business and government globally?● What has China's relationship with antitrust been historically, and have the events of 2008 and 2013 affected antitrust enforcement?● The conversations around antitrust at a time when big tech companies both in the U.S. and China are more influential than they have ever been● Why Angela titled her book “Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism”● The main consequences of China's ascent on the global antitrust policy landscape● What the West often gets wrong about how Chinese policy is formed● Is the delay of Alibaba's IPO due to the current state of China's antitrust policy?● How Huawei is being affected by China's antitrust policy● The future of U.S-China relations Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we speak with Angela Huyue Zhang, Associate Professor of Law at The University of Hong Kong and former Senior Lecturer in Competition Law at King's College London. An expert on Chinese law, Angela Zhang has written extensively on Chinese antitrust enforcement.Angela is the Director of the Centre for Chinese Law, which promotes legal scholarship with the aim to develop a deeper understanding of China and facilitate dialogue between East and West. She is the author of Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism: How the Rise of China Will Challenge Global Regulation (2021).Angela's research has helped her become a four-time recipient of the Concurrence Antitrust Writing Award, which honors the best antitrust papers published in academic journals each year.Antitrust, which Angela defines as “an area of law that mainly deals with the anticompetitive effects arising from monopoly”, is an incredibly powerful tool for governments to rein in big monopolies—particularly big tech in the modern world.With its state-owned economy, it was debated for a long time whether China should have an antitrust law put in place at all. But one was eventually established in 2007, in large part due to the influx of foreign multinational companies that leave domestic businesses (mostly small enterprises in those years) at risk of being left behind.Angela describes the interdependent relationship between how China regulates and how China is regulated. She also explains why, through its sway over global antitrust policy, China is “nudging” big tech companies to become more integrated.Angela speaks on recent and current issues surrounding antitrust and the clamping down of various big tech companies, including former President Trump's actions against TikTok and WeChat, the delay of Alibaba's IPO, and the Huawei situation.Finally, Angela gives her optimistic take on the future of China's relationship with the West. Key Quotes:“Antitrust is an area of law that mainly deals with the anticompetitive effects arising from monopoly. But I have to clarify that having a monopoly power does not necessarily mean that a firm is in violation of antitrust law. Antitrust law only intervenes when the monopoly firm has abused its power, say by exploiting its consumers or its suppliers or have excluded competitors to the detriment of consumer welfare.” “The fundamental feature of the Chinese bureaucracy is that power is fragmented: Different agencies have a very specific scope of functions. At the same time, the division of labor is not entirely clear; so, there can be overlapping duties over a specific sector or a specific company, and that could potentially give rise to conflicts and competition among agencies. Turf wars are very common in Chinese regulation.” “In terms of how China regulates, its government structure is both concentrated and decentralized. You can see pervasive state influence and fierce competition among Chinese firms at the same time. That makes China an elusive target for regulation.”
In our very first #Forum2000online Chat Summer Special, three experts share their research and knowledge on topics of data technology. Didi Kirsten Tatlow, a researcher at the German Council on Foreign Relations, moderates the debate with Xiao Qiang, a renowned expert on U.S-China relationship and Editor-in-Chief of the China Digital Times, and Ulises Mejias, Communication Studies Professor and the author of a book on data colonization. Key takeaways: What classical colonialism and data colonialism have in common is their function of extraction. We all provide data on ourselves, for example with our purchases or online activity. Xiao Qiang uses the term “digital authoritarianism” to describe a similar phenomenon in China. Ulises Mejias describes the issue of data extraction in the US as “surveillance capitalism.” The Chinese Communist Party is paying close attention to the activity of Chinese companies abroad. In China, the potential of citizens to push back against the collection of their data is very limited.

As we enter the third quarter of 2021, we're taking a look at anticipated legislative activities including President Biden's infrastructure bill, the U.S-China trade war, and Big Tech antitrust issues. We're joined by U.S. government experts and lobbyists Elizabeth Frazee and Chani Wiggins to discuss some of the Federal, legislative, and judicial issues on the agenda. Elizabeth Frazee is the Co-Founder and CEO of Twin Logic Strategies, a boutique government relations firm. Elizabeth was named a “Top Lobbyist” by The Hill newspaper and has a 30-year career in Washington that encompasses over a decade working in high-level jobs on Capitol Hill, executive experience at leading tech and entertainment companies and years of successful representation of companies, trade associations and non-profits as a policy advocate and political strategist. Chani Wiggins has leveraged 16 years of federal government experience to assist clients with various policy interests in Congress and within the Administration. Since September 2010, Chani has represented clients with priorities in national security, telecommunications and technology, and energy policies. She also serves as a strategic advisor for the Government & Technology Services Coalition (GTSC), an organization of small and mid-sized company executives that develop and implement solutions for the federal homeland and national security sector. What We Discussed in This Episode: What's the latest with the Biden infrastructure bill? How long will it take to pass budget reconciliation legislation? What does the Schumer-backed Endless Frontiers Act provide and how does it take aim at China? Will there be greater emphasis on education and training in the high-tech industry going forward? How is Congress approaching Big Tech antitrust issues? What is Congress's real reason behind wanting to break up Big Tech? Is it about content moderation or something else?

Topics Discussed and Key Points:● The evolution of China's outbound foreign direct investment● Is China's outbound FDI being used primarily for political or economic reasons?● Where outbound FDI is headed in the next five years● Differences between China's bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements● How partner nations have changed their approach to China over the years● The future of the Belt and Road Initiative● How U.S-China relations will evolve under the Biden administration● Where opportunities for the U.S. to collaborate with China lie Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we speak with Professor Min Ye, an author and an Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University. Her expertise includes Chinese political economy, China and India comparison, East Asian international relations, and globalization with focuses on transnational immigration and foreign investment.Min Ye gives a broad overview of how globalization, state capitalism, and outbound foreign direct investment have evolved in China in the last few decades. She describes China as a “latecomer economy in Asia”. When the country opened itself to doing business internationally in the late 1970s, it embraced outbound FDI because it had to fast-track its technology and manufacturing sectors and make exports earn foreign exchange as quickly as possible.Due to the COVID-19 crisis, alongside shaky U.S.-China relations, outbound FDI may see a change in strategy to adapt to the reorganization of global supply chains. Also, there will be a greater focus placed on China's digital, health, and ecological sectors.With regard to free trade agreements of any kind, Min Ye explains that China will always take the most pragmatic approach that is conducive toward globalization. “It depends,” she says, “on China's internal readiness and the external environment.”Asked about the future of the BRI, Min Ye says that, after eight years of laying the foundation for this massive global infrastructure development strategy—and not to mention on the heels of the pandemic—China is now much clearer on what they can and cannot accomplish. She expects “a sharper focus and a clearer context” going forward, including a more risk-conscious strategy, a willingness to cooperate more amiably with recipient governments, less of a need to “create political and social impact”, and a greater focus on digital infrastructure—which is to be the BRI's core.Finally, Min Ye believes that, with a less hostile approach, the U.S. will be able to better cooperate with China under the Biden administration, especially today when the two countries are sharing pressing concerns around public health, climate, business, and data security. Key Quotes:“Because I understand that domestic politics in Asia typically shape their regional economic policies, I created this framework called ‘Critical Juncture': When a crisis occurs, domestic leadership and policy networks interact across countries and that leads to new institution-building in the region.” “[With regard to bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements,] Chinese elite thinking and policy establishments do have strong convictions toward globalization. But their perspective on globalization is very pragmatic, so it doesn't really prioritize one way or another. [...] It depends on China's internal readiness and the external environment.” “In dealings with China, style matters hugely. I feel like Americans suddenly forgot that it's about creating relationships when you work with China.”
Open source software is software distributed along with its source code, using a permissive license that allows anyone to view, use, or modify it. The term “open source” also refers more broadly to a philosophy of technology development which prioritizes transparency and community development of a project. Typically, development is managed by a governing body, whether a company, foundation, or just a group of passionate users, and work is done in public repositories like Github. Nearly every corner of the software engineering world has been impacted in some way by open source. Well-known open source projects include Linux, Kubernetes, and WordPress.Kevin Xu is the author of Interconnected, a bilingual newsletter on tech, business, and U.S-China relations. He is an investor in open source startups at OSS Capital, and formerly served in the Obama White House. He joins the show today to talk about the benefits of open source in the public and private sectors, and how open source will be critical to the development of high-tech industry in our country as we pivot to facing some of the 21st century's most pressing challenges.
Four years after India and Iran signed an agreement to construct a rail line from Chabahar port to Zahedan, along the border with Afghanistan, the Iranian government has decided to proceed with the construction on its own, citing delays from the Indian side in funding and starting the project. In this episode we'll talk about the Chabahar port project, go back in time a bit to analyse India's relationship with Iran and place this recent development, like all strategic affairs, in the broader context of India's recent troubles with China, U.S-China relations and the upcoming U.S. elections, among other factors.

Bearish Bitcoin, Twitter Gets Hacked & Goldman Sachs Surges – Daily Financial News Summary For Wednesday, July 15, 2020 Today we'll consider the extended tax deadline edition… The middle of the week kept the market's spirits high. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones were both up 0.9%, while the Nasdaq was up 0.5%, while the small-cap stock index, the Russell 2000, decided today was the time to climb. It grew 3.5% for the largest single-day gain since early June. While areas of the stock market remain volatile, Bitcoin has been seeing a somewhat unusual run of stability. Bitcoin (BTC) slipped 1% over the previous 24 hours with a 24-hour range of $9,153-$9,279. This puts it below the 10-day and 50-day moving average, which some are saying is a bearish signal after optimism the cryptocurrency would see its value surpass $10,000 in the near future. Jack Tan, the founding partner of Taiwan-based firm Kronos Research, said, “Trading bitcoins is about as exciting as sitting in traffic, I'm guessing bitcoin's time will come in the next couple of months, but for now just enjoy the altcoin and equities rallies.” Moderna stock price rose 6.9% following information published by the New England Journal of Medicine showing Moderna's coronavirus vaccine produced neutralizing antibodies in all 45 patients in its early stage human trial.

Episode 50 of TechBuzz China is unique: it's our first live recording! It features co-host Rui Ma in conversation with author and journalist Matt Sheehan, currently a fellow based at the Paulson Institute's MacroPolo think tank. It was recorded at the August 13 launch of Matt's new book, The Transpacific Experiment: How China and California Collaborate and Compete for Our Future. As our co-hosts have commented on previous episodes, we respect Matt as one of the smartest and most thoughtful voices on U.S.-China topics. Though his book covers content and industries that we at TechBuzz usually do not, these topics are crucial to understanding the greater context that defines U.S-China tech today — especially given today's geopolitical situation.Listen to find out: What does Matt think are some of the long-term repercussions of the Chinese education system, and how they may ultimately impact the decisions and preferences of Chinese tech talent? What does Matt mean when he writes that the Bay Area is to those born and raised in China what Shanghai is like for Americans — and what is the deeper insight here? How do Chinese tech companies often choose to compete in places like India, Brazil, and Indonesia, as compared with American ones, and why? What about Hollywood-U.S. ties: will Hollywood continue to win over hearts and wallets in China, despite the trade war and other macro factors? What about flows of capital between the U.S. and China — how have they been affected? Importantly, what does Matt predict for the future of the Transpacific Experiment, and why should TechBuzz listeners care about its outcomes?You can purchase (and review!) Matt's book on Amazon.
