YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, just upgraded their free trade agreement, strengthening economic ties amid Trump’s tariff war. But key US ally president of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to assume the ASEAN chair in 2026 — what does this mean for the future China-ASEAN relations? For tensions in the South China Sea?

This week, geopolitical analyst Anna Malindog-Uy joins Amanda Yee to discuss these new developments. The two also go over the recent statement from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth released after the Trump-Xi meeting which asserts that “the relationship between the U.S. and China has never been better” — and whether it really signifies a retreat from military confrontation.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a weekly show where we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
