Since joining EWI, Mark has presented at several investment conferences in Asia and has been interviewed by and featured in major media outlets such as Bloomberg TV Asia, India's CNBC TV-18 and ET Now, the South China Morning Post, Bloomberg newswire, Dow Jones Asia newswire, Barron's, Forbes, and Press Trust India.

A shift in leadership often brings a shift in economic direction, and with that, a wave of uncertainty for business leaders. Recent changes in trade policy have sparked a great deal of conversation (and concern) around tariffs, trade imbalances, and global supply chains. But what we're seeing now isn't the final chapter—it's part of a broader strategy to reshape the future of international trade and industrial development in the U.S. The goals are ambitious: addressing the national debt, correcting long-standing trade deficits, bringing key industries back onshore, and rethinking the rules of global commerce. While the path forward may seem unpredictable, there is a long-term vision driving these moves. The U.S. has long relied on the free market to guide economic outcomes, but certain challenges, like national security and the health of strategic industries, require more than market forces alone. Trade, especially when it intersects with geopolitical and security interests, demands a more hands-on approach. So, what does this mean for today's financial leaders? How should CFOs be preparing for the ripple effects of tariffs and other trade measures? In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Dr. Steve Horan, Former Managing Director of the prestigious CFA Institute and Finance Professor at UNC-Wilmington, to explore the broader implications of evolving trade policy. We talk about the big picture—debt reduction, onshoring trends, and how leaders can position their organizations for success in this dynamic environment. In this episode, you'll learn: The least painful path to reducing the national debt Are tariffs a tax or a tool? Will tariffs be an effective trade negotiation lever What's really driving interest rates The biggest concern for CFOs right now (hint: it's not what you think)   Guest Bio Dr. Steve Horan is an Associate Professor of Finance at UNC Wilmington. Throughout his 30 years in the industry, Steve has leveraged his experience as a practitioner, educator and thought leader to engage the investment management profession on key industry issues. Steve's distinct blend of academic and professional experience has given him a strong strategic sense, and the ability to apply a rigorous analytical framework to any situation. He strives to stay current in his knowledge and progressive in his thinking. Steve has written and co-written numerous articles and books, received several industry awards, and enjoyed a spell as an Financial Times columnist. He continues to provide media commentary, cited in publications from The Wall Street Journal to The New York Times to the South China Morning Post. Steve believes that an industry composed of competent and ethical practitioners is a necessary ingredient to build an investment profession that protects investors and ultimately contributes to a better society.

More than 1,900 political prisoners have been convicted and imprisoned in Hong Kong in the last five years. Thousands more are simply being held without bail for years on end. About 40 percent of Hong Kong's entire prison population is being held without a conviction.“They haven't even taken the trouble to convict these people in a kangaroo court,” says Mark Clifford, president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation.Clifford has lived in Asia since the late 1980s and witnessed Hong Kong's transformation from a largely free society in 1997, to an increasingly repressive one. He previously served as editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post and executive director of the Hong Kong-based Asia Business Council.He's the author of multiple books, including “Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World” and most recently “The Troublemaker: How Jimmy Lai Became a Billionaire, Hong Kong's Greatest Dissident, and China's Most Feared Critic.”Hong Kong, once celebrated for its economic freedom and rule of law, has now become a key node for authoritarian regimes to evade sanctions, Clifford says. According to a report by Samuel Bickett, Hong Kong has become an indispensable location for the transfer of money, military technology, and prohibited products to Russia, Iran, and North Korea.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

It's Tuesday, December 10h, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Persecution of Christians up in Indonesia The General Assembly of the Communion of Churches in Indonesia has announced growth in the Christian faith in that country. The organization pointed to seven new Christian groups, each with at least 10,000 members added to the list. While the church has grown in Indonesia, the believers' very presence has led to persecution in the Muslim-majority nation where 87% are Muslim and about 10% Christian. According to Persecution.org, the SETARA Institute recorded 217 incidents where religious freedom was violated in 2023. That's up from 175 in 2022.   Also, in 2023, places of worship were disturbed 65 times in Indonesia. That was up from 16 incidents in 2017. For example, one local province banned a Christmas choir practice for a Catholic Church earlier this month — requiring permission from the government for this “religious activity.”  Syrian president fled country for Russia The Middle East is in more turmoil. After 13 years of civil war, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has fled the country for Russia. Syria's government has been turned over to a rebel faction led by a former Al Qaeda fighter named Abu Mohammad al-Jolani. The new government will be headed by a party espousing hardline Sunni Islamist ideology. In excess of a half a million Syrians have lost their lives in the civil war, and millions have left the country. In God's providence, Iran's influence in the Middle East has diminished greatly, with the loss of an ally in Al-Assad and Israel's crushing of Hezbollah in Lebanon. For now, Iran and Russia are seen as losers, and Turkey and Israel are seen as winners in the ongoing saga.  China initiates naval drill off coast of Taiwan Communist China has initiated a third and more significant naval drill encompassing the coasts of Taiwan, reports CNN.   This comes after the U.S. approved $2 billion in more arms sales for Taiwan. China vowed “strong countermeasures” to the action, reports the South China Morning Post. Psalm 46 assures that it is God who “makes wars cease to the end of the Earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.” CEO killer suspect caught Police nabbed Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, while he was chowing down at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He's an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from the “Unabomber'' Ted Kaczynski — and seethed in a manifesto, “These parasites had it coming,” reports the New York Post. Officers found a black 3D-printed pistol and a black silencer in Mangione's backpack. He graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Computer and Information Science in 2020 The tech whiz, originally from Towson, Maryland, apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative. The suspect also may have held a grudge because of his own interactions with the industry, noting an X-ray photo on his X account showing four pins in his spine. Trump on Meet the Press: Liz Cheney should go to jail On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump was on NBC's Meet the Press, suggesting that jail time might be appropriate for former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming and others on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack who pursued prosecution for January 6th protestors back in 2021. He also alleged that the committee destroyed evidence after a year and a half of testimony.  Listen. TRUMP: “They deleted and destroyed a whole year and a half worth of testimony. I think those people committed a major crime.” KRISTEN WELKER: “Sir?” TRUMP: “and [former Congresswoman Liz] Cheney was behind it.” WELKER: “Well.” TRUMP: “and so was [Democrat Congressman] Bennie Thompson. And everybody on that committee. For what they did,” WELKER: “Yeah.” TRUMP: “Honestly, they should go to jail.” KRISTEN WELKER: “So, you think Liz Cheney should go to jail?” TRUMP: “For what they did.” WELKER: “Everyone on the committee, you said.” TRUMP: “I think everybody. Anybody that voted in favor …” WELKER: “Are you going to direct your FBI Director and your Attorney General to send them to jail?” TRUMP: “Not at all. I think that they'll have to look at that. But I'm not going to. I'm going to focus on ‘Drill, baby drill.'” WELKER: “When you say that it carries weight though. You've tapped these people to lead the Justice Department and FBI.” TRUMP: “They can do whatever they want.” WELKER: “Okay.” TRUMP: “Biden can give them a pardon if he wants to, and maybe he should.” But Trump said, the decision to prosecute Liz Cheney would be left to his Attorney General appointee. Trump eager to issue pardons to most January 6th protestors In related news and in that same interview. President-elect Trump is looking at issuing pardons on his first day in office for those caught up in the January 6th investigations. The Biden Justice Department has prosecuted 1,572 persons in the protest. Over 1,200 of these have pleaded guilty or have been proven guilty in trial.  321 defendants pleaded guilty to felonies and 675 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors. Here's Kristen Welker with the question. WELKER: “You promised to pardon those who attacked the Capitol on January 6th. Are you still vowing to follow through with that promise?” TRUMP: “We're looking at it right now. Most likely, yeah.” WELKER: “Well, you know.” TRUMP:  “Those people have suffered long and hard. And there may be some exceptions to it. I have to look. You know, if somebody was radical, crazy. There might be some people from Antifa there.  I don't know. These people have suffered. Their lives have been destroyed.” The degree of violence occurring at the January 6th protest is under debate, however. FactCheck.org notes that no police officers died  — while one officer did suffer a stroke and five committed suicide days or months after the January 6th event.  In addition, 17 officers suffered injuries during the protests that resulted in loss of days at work.  By contrast, some 2,035 police officers were injured during the 2020 George Floyd riots. PoliceMag.com reports that “16,241 protesters and rioters were arrested. Nearly 17% of the arrests were for felonies and 7% of the total involved violence. Many of the cases were quickly dismissed.”  New York jury acquits Daniel Penny A New York jury has acquitted Daniel Penny of all charges Monday, reports NBC News. He was the marine charged with manslaughter and negligent homicide for allegedly killing a young man in a subway who was threatening to kill people on the subway, according to witnesses.   The victim, Jordan Neely, had an extensive criminal record of 42 arrests. Emotions are running high after the verdict. A New York Black Lives Matter leader, Hawk Newsome, called for vigilantes to kill others “who have attempted to oppress us.” Wherever this applies, let us remember what Jesus said: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”  (Matthew 5:44) Was there an alphabet in the days of Noah? And finally, could there have been an alphabet used for written human communications as far back as the days of Noah?   That's what researchers have discovered from an excavation in a tomb in northern Syria, located about 500 miles west of where the ark would have rested. Characters that appear to be a real alphabet were etched into clay cylinders dated to 2400 BC.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 10th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Trong những năm gần đây, Hà Nội đã tăng tốc bồi đắp các đảo mà Việt Nam đang kiểm soát quần đảo Trường Sa ở Biển Đông. Hiện giờ Trung Quốc vẫn chưa có phản ứng gì, nhưng về lâu dài, vấn đề này có thể sẽ làm gia tăng căng thẳng giữa Hà Nội với Bắc Kinh. Vào năm 2013, Trung Quốc đã bắt tay vào một chương trình bồi đắp đảo quy mô lớn tại quần đảo Trường Sa, xây dựng cả cơ sở hạ tầng dân sự và quân sự, bao gồm đường băng sử dụng vào mục đích quân sự, trạm radar, bến cảng và nhà ở cho quân đội. Bắc Kinh khẳng định các cơ sở đó được xây dựng trên các thực thể mà họ kiểm soát và hành động của họ là "hợp pháp và chính đáng". Trong bài viết đề ngày 24/10/2024 đăng trên trang mạng của Trung tâm Truyền thông Châu Á ( Asia Media Centre ), nhà báo người Philippines Carla Teng, cố vấn truyền thông của trung tâm này, ghi nhận: “ Tại vùng Biển Đông đang có tranh chấp gay gắt, Việt Nam nay đã có cách tiếp cận quyết đoán hơn, mở rộng sự hiện diện quân sự thông qua các sáng kiến ​​xây dựng đảo chiến lược. Chiến thuật này là một phần trong mục tiêu lớn hơn của Việt Nam nhằm củng cố các yêu sách lãnh thổ của mình trong khu vực, áp dụng các phương pháp tương tự như cách tiếp cận hung hăng của Trung Quốc”. Tác giả bài viết nhắc lại nhật báo Mỹ The Wall Street Journal gần đây đã nêu bật sự bành trướng nhanh chóng của Việt Nam tại quần đảo Trường Sa, cho thấy đất nhân tạo trong khu vực đã tăng gấp mười lần trong ba năm qua, dựa trên hình ảnh vệ tinh có độ phân giải cao của Maxar Technologies. Nhật báo Mỹ nêu chi tiết về việc xây dựng các bến cảng, chiến hào phòng thủ và có thể là các đường băng được mở rộng để sử dụng vào mục đích quân sự. Tờ báo lưu ý rằng những hành động này rất giống với các dự án xây dựng đảo nhân tạo trước đó của Trung Quốc, bao gồm cơ sở hạ tầng quân sự? như tháp quan sát và đường băng. Tổ chức Sáng kiến ​​Minh bạch Hàng hải Châu Á (AMTI) vào tháng 6/2024 cho biết Việt Nam đã bồi đắp thêm 692 mẫu Anh ( acre ), tương đương với khoảng 2.770 km2, vào 10 thực thể kể từ tháng 11 năm 2023, nâng tổng diện tích bồi đắp đất lên khoảng 2.360 mẫu Anh, tức là khoảng một nửa so với 4.650 mẫu Anh của Trung Quốc. Điều này đánh dấu sự thay đổi đáng kể so với tổng diện tích trước đó của Việt Nam chỉ là 329 mẫu Anh cách đây ba năm. Một ví dụ cụ thể đó là vào tháng 9/2020, sự hiện diện của Việt Nam trên rạn san hô Đá Thuyền Chài ( Barque Canada Reef )  chỉ giới hạn ở ba tiền đồn nhỏ trên các bệ bê tông. Đến tháng 8/2024, sau khi nạo vét sâu rộng, rạn san hô này đã trở thành thực thể lớn nhất của Việt Nam tại quần đảo Trường Sa. Tương tự như thế: Vào tháng 3/2021, Đảo Namyit trải dài 13 mẫu Anh trong một rạn san hô dài hai dặm. Đến tháng 6/2024, sau khi tiến hành công trình lớn, nó đã trở thành một trong những thực thể lớn nhất của Việt Nam tại quần đảo Trường Sa, với một bến cảng lớn được nạo vét ở trung tâm. Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ ngày 31/10/2024, nhà nghiên cứu về Biển Đông Hoàng Việt cũng ghi nhận:"Những hình ảnh vệ tinh của một số trang như trang của CSIS ( Trung tâm Nghiên cứu Quốc tế và Chiến lược ) cũng đã cho thấy rõ ràng khả năng này là hoàn toàn có. Phía Việt Nam không đưa thông tin nhiều, nhưng cũng không phản bác thông tin từ những trang đó. Thật ra việc Việt Nam phải tôn tạo những đảo mà họ kiểm soát là chuyện bình thường, bởi vì thứ nhất là các công trình trên biển có tuổi thọ không lớn, do sự tàn phá của môi trường biển, nước biển, gió biển mang hàm lượng muối cao, cho nên nhiều thực thể dễ bị sụp đổ. Trong quá khứ, các dàn khoan dầu khí của Việt Nam cũng đã bị sụp đổ nhiều lần rồi, cho nên cứ sau một thời gian là phải tôn tạo. Đó là chuyện bình thường.Thứ hai, có lẽ Việt Nam không làm giống như Trung Quốc, tức là quân sự hóa các thực thể mà Việt Nam đang chiếm giữ. Cái quan trọng là Việt Nam muốn phát triển các thực thể đó thành những cứ điểm để có thể cứu nạn, cứu hộ cho những ngư dân Việt Nam trên biển. Điều này cũng sẽ giúp Việt Nam tăng cường sức mạnh về cảnh sát biển, bởi vì các lực lượng trong đó có cảnh sát biển và lực lượng kiểm ngư của Việt Nam cũng cần phải giám sát các vùng biển để bảo vệ chủ quyền, đồng thời ngăn chận ngư dân đánh bắt bất hợp pháp trên vùng biển của những quốc gia khác.Cho nên mục tiêu của Việt Nam không phải là quân sự hóa, tức là đặt các cơ sở quân sự trên những đảo đó như Trung Quốc đã làm, mà thật ra thì Việt Nam cũng đâu có đủ tiềm lực để làm. Việt Nam chỉ tôn tạo những đường cho kiên cố hơn, hoặc là, theo tin của báo chí Mỹ, xây dựng các đường băng để tiếp tế hoặc sử dụng cho những trường hợp khẩn cấp, cấp cứu trên đảo. Máy bay hạ cánh xuống thì dễ hơn, chứ còn đi tàu thì rất lâu."Hà Nội cho tới nay vẫn im lặng về các nỗ lực cải tạo của Việt Nam, về mặt chính thức mô tả đó là các dự án nhỏ để xây dựng nơi trú bão cho ngư dân và ngăn chặn xói mòn.Nhưng một báo cáo tháng 9/2024 của John Pollock và Damien Symon, Viện Chatham House của Anh Quốc, cho rằng việc mở rộng của Việt Nam là một hành động chiến lược nhằm củng cố vị thế của mình trong các tranh chấp biển đảo với Trung Quốc và các quốc gia khác trong khu vực. Họ cũng suy đoán rằng Việt Nam sẽ sớm triển khai máy bay quân sự tầm xa tại các tiền đồn của mình, cho thấy sự quân sự hóa mạnh hơn nữa.Nhật báo Hồng Kông South China Morning Post ngày 25/10/2024 trích dẫn báo cáo của tổ chức Sáng kiến thăm dò tình hình chiến lược Biển Đông ( South China Sea Probing Initiative - SCSPI) cho biết chỉ trong 5 tháng qua, Việt Nam đã bồi đắp thêm hơn 2 km2 tại quần đảo Trường Sa ( mà Trung Quốc gọi là Nam Sa ). Như vậy là Hà Nội đã nâng cấp tổng cộng 11 trên 26 thực thể mà Việt Nam kiểm soát, những thực thể mà Bắc Kinh cũng khẳng định chủ quyền.Theo lời ông Hồ Ba ( Hu Bo ), giám đốc SCSPI, “Hà Nội đã liên tục mở rộng các thực thể mà họ chiếm đóng ở quần đảo Trường Sa kể từ những năm 1970… và việc mở rộng đã có sự gia tăng đáng kể cả về tốc độ lẫn quy mô kể từ đợt mở rộng mới nhất bắt đầu vào tháng 10/2021”.Ông Trần Tương Miểu (Chen Xiang Miao), một nghiên cứu viên cộng tác tại Viện Nghiên cứu Nam Hải Quốc gia, trụ sở tại Hải Nam, cho biết Việt Nam đặt mục tiêu tận dụng việc xây dựng đảo của mình để tăng cường kiểm soát quần đảo Trường Sa, vì có khả năng thiết lập sự hiện diện liên tục của các tàu thực thi pháp luật trên biển và mở rộng việc triển khai các cơ sở quân sự tại đó. Ông cho biết: “Trước đây, Hà Nội duy trì một số lượng hạn chế các căn cứ ở quần đảo Trường Sa, chỉ có khả năng tiếp nhận các tàu nhỏ. Tuy nhiên, với những nâng cấp gần đây đối với các cơ sở cảng, Việt Nam đang sẵn sàng duy trì sự hiện diện liên tục của lực lượng thực thi pháp luật hàng hải, điều này sẽ tăng cường đáng kể quyền kiểm soát của Việt Nam đối với toàn bộ khu vực Trường Sa”.Theo ông Trần Tương Miểu, “những nâng cấp gần đây đối với các tiền đồn đã nâng cao năng lực của Việt Nam trong việc tiếp nhận các tàu lớn - từ hàng ngàn đến gần 10 ngàn tấn - cho thấy tiềm năng của họ về việc neo đậu tàu quân sự trong tương lai”. Ông cho biết các công trình phòng thủ đang được xây dựng doanh trại, pháo binh và các cơ sở quân sự khác. Dĩ nhiên, đối với nhà nghiên cứu Trung Quốc này, những nỗ lực nói trên của Việt Nam là nhằm chiếm đóng "bất hợp pháp và vĩnh viễn" các thực thể đó và như vậy sẽ đặt ra thách thức đáng kể đối với Trung Quốc, vì có thể thúc đẩy các hành động tương tự từ Philippines và các quốc gia khác cũng có yêu sách chủ quyền trên Biển Đông.Mặc dù đã có thái độ rất cứng rắn với Philippines trong các tranh chấp Biển Đông, Trung Quốc cho tới nay vẫn im lặng một cách đáng chú ý về các hoạt động của Việt Nam. Nhà nghiên cứu Hoàng Việt giải thích:"Gần đây có một số bài báo của các nhà phân tích nói đến việc tại sao Trung Quốc phản ứng gần như là im ắng trước việc Việt Nam tôn tạo một số thực thể như vậy, trong khi Trung Quốc lại rất căng thẳng với Philippines.Thứ nhất, Trung Quốc không phản đối bởi vì Trung Quốc mới là xây nhiều. Việt Nam chắc là không bao giờ theo kịp Trung Quốc trong việc tôn tạo các thực thể trên Biển Đông. Trung Quốc còn quân sự hóa các đảo đó, biến thành những tiền đồn. Việt Nam thì chắc là sẽ không có các tiền đồn. Cá nhân tôi có một lần đến Trường Sa thì thấy chủ yếu là dân, chứ không có nhiều căn cứ quân sự kiên cố, chủ yếu chỉ có một số vũ khí để đề phòng thôi, chứ không phải là những tiền đồn ghê gớm như của phía Trung Quốc. Thứ hai, có lẽ Việt Nam cũng khéo léo chọn thời điểm mà Trung Quốc cũng đang muốn thúc đẩy quan hệ với Việt Nam và Việt Nam cũng đang cố gắng giữ quan hệ với Trung Quốc ở mức tốt đẹp để phía Trung Quốc không có phản ứng nhiều trong trường hợp này."Các chuyên gia cho rằng sự khác biệt trong thái độ của Bắc Kinh là do Trung Quốc duy trì trao đổi chặt chẽ với ban lãnh đạo mới của Việt Nam sau những thay đổi nhân sự cấp cao. Ngày 21/10/2024, tướng quân đội Lương Cường đã được Quốc Hội bầu làm chủ tịch nước mới, để kế nhiệm ông Tô Lâm, sau khi đi thăm Trung Quốc và hội kiến chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình. Trong cuộc gặp này, hai bên đã tái khẳng định cam kết tăng cường quan hệ giữa hai nước. Trước đó, tổng bí thư Tô Lâm đã đến thăm Trung Quốc vào tháng 8 trong chuyến công du nước ngoài đầu tiên sau khi nhậm chức. Trong chuyến đi đó, ông đã cam kết giải quyết tranh chấp chủ quyền Biển Đông  thông qua đối thoại. Sau khi dự một diễn đàn khu vực tại Lào, Thủ tướng Trung Quốc Lý Cường đã đến Việt Nam để thảo luận với tổng bí thư Tô Lâm và thủ tướng Phạm Minh Chính, tạo cơ hội cho Bắc Kinh hàn gắn quan hệ với Việt Nam. Trong văn bản tuyên bố, Bắc Kinh và Hà Nội cam kết "kiềm chế không thực hiện các hành động làm phức tạp tình hình và mở rộng tranh chấp". Ngoài ra, họ đã nhất trí khởi xướng các dự án phát triển hàng hải chung ở những khu vực ít nhạy cảm và cải thiện tương tác giữa các lĩnh vực quốc phòng và an ninh của họ. Theo chuyên gia La Lượng (Luo Liang), thuộc Viện Nghiên cứu Nam Hải Quốc gia, “những cuộc gặp gỡ thường xuyên giữa các quan chức cấp cao và các kênh liên lạc cởi mở, thông suốt giữa Trung Quốc và Việt Nam đã giúp giải quyết hiệu quả các bất đồng trên biển, giúp giảm thiểu tác động bất lợi đến quan hệ song phương”.Theo nhà nghiên cứu Hoàng Việt, Bắc Kinh chưa muốn làm căng với Hà Nội về vấn đề bồi đắp các đảo cũng là do Trung Quốc đang cố hòa hoãn với Việt Nam, hay đi xa hơn là cố giữ Việt Nam trong vòng ảnh hưởng của mình:“Không phải bây giờ, mà từ xưa, Trung Quốc luôn giữ Việt Nam trong vòng cương tỏa, trong ảnh hưởng của mình. Xem lại hàng ngàn năm lịch sử, Trung Quốc biến Việt Nam thành một dạng thuộc địa hay chư hầu của mình. Với vị thế của Trung Quốc muốn trở thành một cường quốc lớn ở khu vực châu Á và của cả thế giới, đương nhiên Trung Quốc muốn các nước khu vực phải dưới sự chỉ đạo, kiểm soát của Trung Quốc.Phía Việt Nam thì hiểu rằng, Trung Quốc là một cường quốc mà lại là một láng giềng của Việt Nam, cho nên Việt Nam phải khéo léo phần nào. Nhưng Việt Nam cũng đang cố gắng tìm cách cân bằng, để không bị lệ thuộc vào Trung Quốc, qua việc thúc đẩy quan hệ với các quốc gia mà có khi lại là đối thủ của Trung Quốc, như Mỹ, Hàn Quốc, Nhật Bản, Ấn Độ, cũng là những nước có quan hệ đối tác chiến lược toàn diện của Việt Nam. Thật ra thì Việt Nam cũng có mối quan hệ truyền thống với Nga, mà Nga - Trung là một mối quan hệ phức tạp, có những lúc hợp tác, có những lúc cạnh tranh. Chắc chắn là Trung Quốc sẽ luôn tìm mọi cách để Việt Nam lệ thuộc Trung Quốc, nhưng làm được hay không thì còn phụ thuộc vào nhiều yếu tố, trong đó có yếu tố Việt Nam rất nhiều.”Tuy nhiên, nhật báo Hồng Kông South China Morning Post trích dẫn một số nhà phân tích cho rằng cho dù hai bên đã mở các kênh liên lạc để quản lý các tranh chấp, những bất đồng căn bản giữa hai nước láng giềng vẫn còn đó. Theo một phó giáo sư tại Quảng Châu chuyên về Biển Đông, xin được giấu tên, các hành động kiên quyết của Việt Nam trong việc bảo vệ các yêu sách của mình đang làm phức tạp thêm các nỗ lực trong tương lai của Trung Quốc nhằm khẳng định các quyền của họ ở Biển Đông. Theo học giả này, các cuộc đối đầu trên biển giữa Bắc Kinh và Hà Nội không chỉ dai dẳng, mà còn có khả năng leo thang trong tương lai, như vụ xảy ra trong tháng 10: Việt Nam cáo buộc Trung Quốc tấn công 10 ngư dân Việt Nam, khiến ba người bị gãy chân tay, ngư cụ bị hư hại và hải sản bị tịch thu.Có lẽ là để có thể tập trung đối phó với Trung Quốc trên vấn đề Biển Đông, Việt Nam đã cố dàn xếp với Malaysia, khi Kuala Lumpur, theo tin Reuters ngày 04/11/2024, gởi một lá thư khiếu nại đến Hà Nội, cáo buộc Việt Nam mở rộng một đảo nhỏ ở quần đảo Trường Sa mà cả hai nước đều tuyên bố chủ quyền.Theo báo chí Việt Nam, phát biểu trong cuộc họp báo chung với thủ tướng Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim tại Putrajaya nhân chuyến thăm Malayisa ( 21-23/11), tổng Bí thư Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam Tô Lâm cho biết Việt Nam và Malaysia đã nhất trí "tìm kiếm sự hợp tác chặt chẽ hơn để duy trì hòa bình ở Biển Đông". Hai nhà lãnh đạo cũng cam kết "tiếp tục hợp tác chặt chẽ với nhau để duy trì hòa bình, an ninh, ổn định, an toàn và tự do hàng hải và hàng không ở Biển Đông và thúc đẩy giải quyết hòa bình các tranh chấp". Theo lời thủ tướng Anwar, hai bên còn đã "đồng ý tìm kiếm khả năng cùng nỗ lực trong ngành đánh bắt cá để thực sự có thể làm việc trên cơ sở tin tưởng và hữu nghị". Không những thế, nhân chuyến đi của ông Tô Lâm, Việt Nam và Malaysia đã đồng ý nâng cấp quan hệ song phương lên thành Đối tác Chiến lược Toàn diện

2024 has been a pivotal year for Brazil-China relations. Last month marked 50 years of diplomatic ties between the two nations, and in celebration of this milestone, President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Brazil by the end of the year. This visit comes as economic ties between the two countries are booming. Bilateral trade is on track to surpass last year's $157 billion, and recent data shows Chinese investment in Brazil jumped by 33% in 2023. Beyond economics, Presidents Xi Jinping and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva share similar ideological views on key global issues, posing a growing challenge to U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere. This week, South China Morning Post correspondent Igor Patrick and Thiago Bessimo, co-founder of the Portuguese-language site Observa China, join Eric to unpack the deepening Brazil-China relationship and its global implications.

The Global South has continued to grow in political importance in recent years, as the U.S., China and Russia battle for influence among countries in the Southern Hemisphere. And that contest also has implications for addressing a range of North Korea issues. This week, Rob York of the Pacific Forum joins the NK News podcast to discuss how the countries of the Global South think about the DPRK's human rights, and what the U.S. can do to win their support for efforts to address the problem.  He also talks about the evolution of Pyongyang's illicit efforts to fund its nuclear and missile programs, the relevance of international sanctions after the collapse of the U.N. Panel of Experts and how early English-language newspapers in South Korea covered the authoritarian government of Syngman Rhee and the “puppet state” of North Korea. Rob York is the director for regional affairs at the Pacific Forum. He previously worked as a production editor for The South China Morning Post and chief editor of NK News. He earned his Ph.D. in Korean history at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Professor Fei-Ling Wang tells NucleCast about his new book, 'The China Race: Global Competition for Alternative World Orders.' He argues that the United States and China are engaged in a global competition that goes beyond relative power and influence. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seeks to transform the world order into a hierarchical system with China at the top, while the United States aims to preserve the existing order based on democratic values and the rule of law. Wang emphasizes that the outcome of this competition has high stakes, as losing could result in the withering away of the American way of life and the nationhood and statehood of the US. He also highlights the importance of providing Chinese students with a comprehensive education that includes social sciences, humanities, logic, and history, in order to foster critical thinking and a better understanding of the world.Fei-Ling “Phil” Wang, Ph.D. (University of Pennsylvania), Professor at Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology (fw@gatech.edu).

He has also published dozens of book chapters and journal articles in four languages, including op-eds in newspapers like The New York Times and Christian Science Monitor.Wang taught at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point) and U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs), and held visiting and adjunct/honorary positions in institutions like European University Institute in Italy, Sciences Po in France, National Sun Yat-sen University and National Taiwan University in Taiwan, National University of Singapore, Renmin University and Anhui Normal University in China, University of Macau, University of Tokyo, and Sungkyunkwan University and Yonsei University in Korea.Wang has guest-lectured in over 50 universities worldwide and appeared in many national and international news media such as Al Jazeera, AFP, AP, BBC, CNN, The Financial Times, The New York Times, Radio China International, South China Morning Post, VOA, The Wall Street Journal, and the Xinhua News Agency.

Here's a reading of an article recently published in the South China Morning Post, written by travel writer David Leffman. On his most recent trip to Yunnan to work on his upcoming book on the 1875 Margary Affair, David had a chance encounter with a taxi driver who was a sixth-generation descendent of Jiang Zonghan, someone closely related to the little-known but rather consequential event that took place in February 1875 along the Yunnan-Myanmar border.

”Being a writer is just bloody hard work and passion. It is a kind of madness, which compels you every day to go to say, ‘OK, let's do it again today' “ Manreet Sodhi Someshwar is the author of nine novels - including the Long Walk Home, Radiance of a Thousand Suns, and most recently the Partition Trilogy - a historical fiction novel series about one of the great human tragedies of the 20th century. Manreet's articles and essays have appeared in the NY Times, the International Herald Tribune, and the South China Morning Post, among others. Manreeet has taught for the New York Public Library and the City College of New York - and she's a former corporate citizen having done stints in Asia, and a parent grappling with the world our kids will inherit. Manreet's recently complete Partition Trilogy - a series of 3 books titled Lahore, Hyderabad, and Kashmir - are a historical fiction set during, before, and immediately after the Partition - and independence of - India and Pakistan of 1947. Partition is among the the great humanitarian disasters of the 20th century - and the largest mass migration in history. The history of Partition impacts and informs much of what is happening today, in both Asia, and the United States - from the tensions between India and Pakistan, and the rise of nationalism / extremism in our politics around the world. Manreet's unique voice focuses not just on the personal musings of these larger than life historical figures - like India's founding fathers Gandhi & Nehru, but she also breathes life into characters who represent the stats and figures that we sometimes gloss over when we hear of a tragedy (including the role - and subversion of women by history). This is a powerful conversation about the weaponization of history, and how storytelling - and fact-checking - have to work hand in hand to inform the next generation. This is a past conversation from Raman's other podcast, Modern Minorities, where each week we share minority conversations for all of our majority years. You'll enjoy this candid conversation that we hope will provide new perspectives and learnings.

The EU and China are in the foothills of a trade war. After a seven month investigation, the European Commission has announced tariffs of up to 38 per cent on electric cars from China, citing that they've found ‘subsidies in every part of the supply chain'. In retaliation, China has ramped up its own investigations into imports from the EU. This, of course, comes after the US has announced its own 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric cars. Listeners will know that Chinese electric cars are becoming ever more competitive. In just three years, the value of the EU's imports of Chinese EVs have surged tenfold – from $1.6 billion in 2020 to $11.5 billion last year. The Commission has warned that Chinese electric cars could make up 15 per cent of the EU market by next year.  What are the ramifications of these new tariffs? Is there anything that will reverse this new tide of protectionism? On this episode, I'm talking to Finbarr Bermingham, Europe correspondent at the South China Morning Post, who patches in from Brussels.

The EU and China are in the foothills of a trade war. After a seven month investigation, the European Commission has announced tariffs of up to 38 per cent on electric cars from China, citing that they've found ‘subsidies in every part of the supply chain'. In retaliation, China has ramped up its own investigations into imports from the EU. This, of course, comes after the US has announced its own 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric cars.

”Being a writer is just bloody hard work and passion. It is a kind of madness, which compels you every day to go to say, ‘OK, let's do it again today' “ Manreet Sodhi Someshwar's the author of nine novels - including the Long Walk Home, Radiance of a Thousand Suns, and most recently the Partition Trilogy - a historical fiction novel series which Raman is a BIG fan of. Manreet's  articles and essays have appeared in the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, and the South China Morning Post, among others. She has taught for the New York Public Library and the City College of New York - and she's a former corporate citizen having done stints in Asia, and a parent grappling with the world our kids will inherit. Manreet's recently complete Partition Trilogy - a series of 3 books titled Lahore, Hyderabad, and Kashmir - are a historical fiction set during, before, and immediately after the Partition - and independence of - India and Pakistan of 1947. Partition is among the the great humanitarian disasters of the 20th century - and the largest mass migration in history The history of Partition is a topic near and dear to Raman - and impacts and informs much of what is happening today, in both Asia, and the United States - from the tensions between India and Pakistan, and the rise of nationalism / extremism in our politics around the world. Manreet's unique voice focuses not just on the personal musings of these larger than life historical figures - like India's founding fathers Gandhi & Nehru, but she also breathes life into characters who represent the stats and figures that we sometimes gloss over when we hear of a tragedy (including the role - and subversion of women by history). We talked a lot about the weaponization of history, and how storytelling - and fact-checking - have to work hand in hand. You'll enjoy this candid and thoughtful conversation with Manreet, who's using her creative drive to make a statement for the world today - including the next generation.  LEARN ABOUT MANREET Lahore (book): goodreads.com/en/book/show/59617445 instagram.com/manreetsomeshwar goodreads.com/author/list/265630.Manreet_Sodhi_Someshwar Learn more about your ad choices.

Asia is leading the world when it comes to semiconductors, solar panels, wind turbines, and other technologies critical for the future. In a time when several US states are seeking to ban the sale of cultivated meat, Asia seems to be leaning into the technology, and one of the most mature companies in the space there is Avant Meats.  Founded in Hong Kong in 2018 and having raised about $15 million USD to date, Avant Meats is focused on making a dent in Asian seafood demand. In this episode, Avant founder and CEO Carrie Chan discusses why her focus is seafood, what scale she's at and where she hopes to soon go, and how long she thinks it will be before cultivated fish might reach one percent market share in Asia.  As you'll hear in this conversation, Avant Meats is already animal component-free in its feedstock for its fish cells, and it's cultivating inside a 250L bioreactor to generate the material for its public tastings. Now headquartered in Singapore, the company intends to grow there and eventually branch throughout Asia, a project for which it's currently fundraising. Discussed in this episode This episode is the seventh in our multi-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous six episodes include BlueNalu, Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, New Harvest, and Aleph Farms. China alone consumers 65 million tons of seafood annually.  Carrie points to how China rapidly transformed the small fishing village of Shenzhen into a metropolis, and what relevance this has for cultivated meat scaling.
