Since U.S. President Trump’s surprise declaration of ‘reciprocal’ tariffs against allies and adversaries alike, China has expanded its economic diplomacy to other members of the so-called “Global South.” This week, Chinese Premier Li Qiang has traveled to Kuala Lumpur to address the inaugural ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council)-China Summit. Li’s speech follows President Xi Jinping’s diplomatic tour of Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia in April. Could Beijing succeed in uniting Southeast Asian and Arab governments against the U.S. tariffs? And is China also gaining ground in Latin America? In this episode, we discuss the ASEAN-GCC-China trilateral summit, the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, and China’s plans for the “Global South.” Our guests:Lai I-chung Prospect Foundation President Yuan I National Chengchi University Institute of International Relations Adjunct Research FellowChapters:00:00:00 – ASEAN, GCC Strengthen China Ties00:00:45 – What Does China Gain from Summit?00:06:07 – Are Gulf States Abandoning U.S.?00:12:16 – Will ASEAN, GCC Unite with China?00:15:47 – Is CAFTA a Reaction to U.S. Pressure?00:18:29 – China Offers Investments to U.S. Neighbors00:19:09 – Is China Winning in Latin America?00:23:01 – Is China’s ‘Global South’ Plan Realistic?#China #ASEAN #GCC #GulfCooperationCouncil #Summit #Diplomacy #EconomicDiplomacy #LiQiang #XiJinping #ChinaASEANrelations #ChinaGCCrelations #ChinaArabRelations #Trilateral #Malaysia #CAFTA #FTA #FreeTradeAgreement #ForeignInvestment #ChinaMiddleEast #ChinaLatinAmerica #GlobalSouth #UStariffs #TrumpTradeWar #TaiwanTalks

SMIC is China’s main bet against Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung in the global AI race. But the U.S.’s efforts to keep Beijing’s biggest chipmaker in check appear to have had the opposite effect.

Foreign companies are fleeing China — and they’re not looking back. Across the country, once-busy warehouses now sit abandoned, collecting dust. Entire local economies are crumbling in real time, with factories shutting down by the week. This isn’t just a slowdown — it’s a full-scale unraveling. And what’s happening on the ground is far worse than what the headlines are telling you.Why are some of the world’s biggest corporations abandoning China almost overnight?What’s driving the sudden explosion of empty warehouses across major industrial zones?And how did entire local economies fall apart — with no plan to stop the bleeding?This collapse didn’t happen overnight — the warning signs were there, but most people missed them. Until now.For two decades, China was the undisputed king of global manufacturing.From iPhones to microwaves, from sneakers to semiconductors — if it was made, it was probably made in China.The country became a magnet for foreign investment. Multinational companies flooded in, attracted by low labor costs, advanced infrastructure, and what many called a “business-friendly environment.”It wasn’t just a boom. It was an economic supernova.Local governments bent over backward to court foreign firms — offering tax incentives, cheap land, and fast-track regulatory approvals.Entire cities were built around single supply chains. Workers migrated by the millions to staff factories operating 24 hours a day.And for a while, the world couldn’t get enough of it.

China’s economy is hitting a wall—and Trump’s tariff war just slammed the brakes harder. Exports are tanking, credit has vanished, and a banking crisis is brewing. Private companies are being strangled by forced repayments and frozen lending. By April, China’s financial activities had basically come to a halt. The only entity still able to borrow money from the financial system was the government. So just how bad is China’s economy? 1. The myth of April’s export “growth”2. The operating logic of Chinese banks

For China, Taiwan isn’t just a neighbor – it’s unfinished business. The Communist Party calls Taiwan a “breakaway province.” Beijing says reunification is inevitable – with or without peace. What would happen if China invaded Taiwan? Hook tells you what’s what.It’s the most dangerous flash point on Earth. A tiny island. A massive superpower. And a question that could spark the next world war: Can Taiwan survive a China invasion? Let’s break it down – in 3 Questions.#ChinaTaiwanConflict #TaiwanInvasion #TaiwanSurvival #ChinaReunification #TaiwanIndependence #WorldWar #GlobalSecurity #TaiwanCrisis #ChinaVsTaiwan #TaiwanFlashpoint #ChinaForeignPolicy #TaiwanDefense #InternationalRelations #ChinaSuperpower

In March of 2009 the USNS Impeccable was surrounded by a swarm of Chinese vessels as it sailed through the international waters of the South China Sea. Towing a sonar array, the Impeccable conducted surveillance operations on submarines operating in the area. Seventy five miles off the coast of HIGH-nan [Hainan], a Chinese Naval Frigate, a Maritime Fisheries Patrol Vessel, and two fishing trawlers began circling the Impeccable. After the frigate failed to intimidate the U.S. warship, the two fishing trawlers began sailing dangerously close (within 50 feet). Throwing grappling hooks into the water, the fishermen attempted to snag the Impeccable’s towed sonar array. When that failed, they positioned themselves in front of the Impeccable and dumped waste and debris into the Impeccable’s path to force an emergency stop. I guess you could say that their behavior was… less than impeccable.Written by: Chris Cappy and Patrick GriffinVideo editing by: Savvy Studios additional animations by: JoshiThese vessels are part of China’s Maritime Militia, a shadowy umbrella force composed of multiple private fishing companies that take up government contracts to act as modern day “privateers.” Employing private vessels to project power and harass your adversaries was a common practice in 18th century England and France, who both employed hundreds of privateers under legal consent contracts called “letters of marque.” In modern terms, think of it like China’s version of the Wagner Group – but with boats. In 2024 China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy is growing at a breakneck speed. Take a look at this satellite imagery from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). These images show rapid development and production in Chinese shipyards. In 2020 China surpassed the United States and became the largest Navy in the world by number of ships. While the U.S. Navy still maintains the lead for the most displaced tonnage, China now produces “more than half” of all new maritime tonnage in the world. So with a fast growing Navy, why would China turn to civilian fishing trawlers to help enforce their control over the South China Sea? And how do these civilian vessels fit into China’s overall naval strategy? Are they Pirates, mercenaries, or something else entirely?
