What Does 2025 Look like for Southeast Asia

What Does 2025 Look like for Southeast Asia; How will the Political Events in the US Affect it (Global Connections - recorded on 1/30/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Carl Baker.

The discussion was: Carl Baker, Senior Advisor of Pacific Forum, helps us understand what is happening in Southeast Asia, and what are its prospects for 2025. How will it be affected by the US election and the tariff and expansionist initiatives by Donald Trump. Is it prepared to deal with extreme weather and sea level rise caused by climate change. What investment choices will it make in the competition between China and India. Will there be peace in Myanmar. What conflicts should we expect between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, and between China and Taiwan. Why did Indonesia join BRICS, and how will that effect its neighbors. How will the countries in Southeast Asia be affected by advances and changes in technology, Social Media and AI. What should we expect in trade and visa free travel between the countries of Southeast Asia.

The takeaway was: We focus so much on the political events in the US, but we should also follow the events in Europe and Asia, including Southeast Asia.
