About this episode
Asia is the most exciting and consequential region in the world today. Its countries - all with diverse political systems and complex, fascinating histories - are home to 4.3 billion people, who together generate about two thirds of global growth.
But it's also where some of the planet's most high-stakes disputes play out on a daily basis: China's menacing of Taiwan; the North Korean nuclear threat; and the ongoing civil war in Myanmar.
In short, Asia Matters.
Asia Matters is the podcast where we bring together experts from across the region and beyond to discuss the major issues and trends affecting Asian countries and their people — from China's growing influence, to the global race in technologies like chips and AI, to K-pop’s global dominance.
Asia Matters - going behind the headlines on the stories affecting the world’s most important region.
