With the withdrawal of US military forces from Afghanistan and the collapse of the Washington-supported government in Kabul, the Taliban have moved quickly and effortlessly to retake control of the country. The central Asian nation is heading into a new yet familiar chapter in its tortured history, writes 2020/21 AsiaGlobal Fellow Jason Yip, who served there from 2013 to 2015 as a delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross. He reflects on the unfolding situation and considers the perspectives and concerns of ordinary Afghan people.

During the fight against Covid-19, philanthropy in China demonstrated how it was capable of providing swift and effective responses that were highly sensitive to the requirements of communities most in need, write 2019 AsiaGlobal Fellow Rui Wang of the crowdfunding platform GlobalGiving and Minne Deng of the United Nations Development Programme in China. As the Chinese economy emerges from the pandemic, the sector can build on those achievements and become an important driver in the nation’s efforts to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Tech and the pandemic: Why lockdowns are not the only way to confront Covid-19
Roland Bouffanais
Associate Professor
Singapore University of Technology and Design
Sun Sun Lim
Professor of Communication and Technology
Dean of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
Singapore University of Technology and Design
Much as combating the scourge of Covid-19 is a global priority, lockdowns are a bitter pill to swallow, given their harsh side effects, Roland Bouffanais and Sun Sun Lim of the Singapore University of Technology and Design argue. They need not be the only solution, and a more calibrated containment strategy can and should be developed using insights gleaned from big data.

Sophal Ear
Associate Professor of Diplomacy and World Affairs
Occidental College
Chinese influence over Cambodia is pervasive. From banks to casinos, from basic imports to expensive infrastructure projects, Beijing’s shadow looms from all directions. As the West punishes Phnom Penh for human rights violations and backsliding on democracy, China forges stronger ties. The two countries have announced the conclusion of a free-trade agreement. Sophal Ear of Occidental College and co-author Japhet Quitzon outline the economic benefits that the Chinese have brought to the ASEAN member nation, now a low middle-income country. The government of Prime Minister Hun Sen is counting on China to help it handle the immediate task of post-pandemic recovery and overcome longer-term structural challenges for the economy. The question is whether this dependency will be profitable and sustainable.

In-bum Chun

North Korea is deploying its usual brinkmanship in its latest conflict with South Korea, observes In-bum Chun, a retired lieutenant general who served in the Republic of Korea Army for 38 years. While recent developments seem to have a familiar progression, Pyongyang’s increasing assertiveness makes the current confrontation more dangerous to regional and global stability than usual.

It is time – deep in the global coronavirus pandemic – to realize that access to digital services is as much a need as electricity and water, argue Irene YH Ng of the National University of Singapore and Sun Sun Lim of Singapore University of Technology and Design. Educational and employment exclusions due to the digital divide, they note, have been exacerbated by the lockdowns caused by this unprecedented public-health crisis.

Vasuki Shastry
Associate Fellow, Asia-Pacific Programme
Chatham House (The Royal Institute of International Affairs)
Twenty years ago, Southeast Asian nations and three dialogue partners – China, Japan and South Korea – launched the Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI) to act as a safety net to help countries manage short-term liquidity crunches and avoid having to rely on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for assistance. Even in the throes of the Covid-19 crisis, the mechanism has gone unused. Vasuki Shastry of Chatham House, who served as a senior official at the IMF, argues that the purpose of the CMI should be renewed and deploying it would be a step towards ASEAN regional financial integration.

But both Tehran and Beijing must tread carefully if they want to expand economic and geopolitical cooperation, given the numerous overlapping spheres of interest in a volatile area of the world, US pressure and the impact of Covid-19.

Stuart Harbinson

Washington’s threats to end Hong Kong’s so-called special trade status seem exaggerated, given that the US extends little in the way of preferential treatment. But for Hong Kong the stakes are high, writes Stuart Harbinson, a fellow of Asia Global Institute, who represented Hong Kong at the World Trade Organization from 1994 to 2002. If mishandled, this dispute could call into question the Chinese special administrative region’s continued existence as a separate customs entity and international trading hub.

Chen Xi

Global Health Institute
Xi’an Jiaotong University
China
The Covid-19 pandemic and the China-US geopolitical and technological (geo-tech) competition constitute two major global security concerns. It is hardly surprising that Washington would adopt stringent sanctions against Huawei and other Chinese companies in the run-up to the US presidential election in November, writes geo-tech expert Chen Xi of Xi’an Jiaotong University. He argues that any accelerated decoupling of the US and Chinese economies is bound to have serious implications for the trading, technology and financial partners of both nations.

Graham Allison’s “Thucydides trap” thesis has to be modified from military warfare to an economic paradigm where the levers of capitalism count more. In this regard, write Christopher H Lim and Victor R Savage of the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, the trap is not a trigger for war but only the pre-condition for hegemonic conflict.
