25:41Now PlayingDonald Trump’s strategy in Asia is shifting. With Beijing’s military and economic might now approaching that of the United States, official strategy documents call for the US to seek a ‘balance of power’ with Beijing — to prevent it from achieving regional hegemony. Trump’s summit with Xi Jinping had friendly vibes, with both leaders calling for ‘constructive strategic stability.’ Why is this happening? And what does this mean for US friends in Asia? Comments by Trump have raised fears that he might abandon Taiwan for trade deals with China. And allies along the First Island Chain such as Japan, South Korea and the Philippines are asking whether the US is still committed to their defense. In this special analysis, DW’s Richard Walker dives into Trump’s statements, his official strategy and the consequences for the future of Asia, with input from politicians and experts from Australia, China, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and the US.
