West in Meltdown over Nuclear Safety and Electrical Infrastructure in Ukraine! Just when we thought western hypocrisy over the war in Ukraine had reached rock bottom, lo and behold, they get out an excavator and keep digging. A series of precision strikes across the country over the last few days have devastated thermal and hydroelectric power plants, including the largest ones in Kiev and Kharkov. Almost immediately, western leaders decried the attacks as “targeting civ...

On Australia's "National Defence Strategy": Does the country remain in a "stretch" position between the US and the PRC? Someone is persistently creating a situation of general insanity in the world political and information space, in which similar format "impulses" are thrown in from seemingly opposing sides, thereby deepening the line of division between them. A notable contribution to this negative process is made by propaganda, with its regular paranoia sessions by panic-stricken "experts on all issues". In th...

Will Iranian-Israeli peace endure? Iran's first direct successful attack on Israel for its many brutal attacks on Syria, Lebanon, Iran and the annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank has dramatically changed the rules for all state and non-state actors in the Middle East. On 13 April, for the first time in nearly 190 days, Palestinians in Gaza were able to sleep without fear of Israel's constant aerial presence in ...

Deepening Russia-China ties exposes US Hypocrisy The US has always kept a close eye on China & Russia, since both countries always been proverbial thorns in the US’s side. However, the problem is the hypocrisy that the US displays in every move it makes. Throughout history, infiltrating (directly or indirectly) in the Philippines, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Pakistan, and Libya, US intervention has always been about prese...

Alikber Alikberov: "When we study the East and the West, we think first of our country". PART 2 Why can Russia's strategic pivot to the East be metaphorically compared to the fact that we have been standing on one leg all this time and now we are standing on two? What should be done to avoid misunderstandings due to differences in mentality when implementing major state trade and economic projects between Russia, Asia and Africa? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the sec...

U.S. Admits Failed Africa Strategy: But There’s More! As unlikely as it may seem, U.S. officials now admit the Biden administration’s strategy of pressing Niger and other African countries to break off ties with Moscow is no longer working. What’s more impressive, perhaps, is that the story was published in Axel Springer’s Politico. Whether or not the liberal order is preparing to chunk Joe Biden under the bus, or not, is a matter of conjecture. I...

💵🔼💸Manufacturing investment in the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) is booming 🔝Asean has become a key target region for multinationals and vitally important in an era of global power competition. The 10-country bloc of more than 660 million people has benefited from the China+1 strategies that accelerated in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, where businesses diversified their supply chains into one or more Asean countries to avoid being too focused on 🇨🇳China. 📈The Asean region has recently overtaken China as the destination of choice for manufacturing investment for investors from OECD countries. More than $55bn was pledged by OECD-headquartered companies to build factories in Asean in 2022 and 2023, more than double the $21bn announced in China, according to fDi Markets.

📌While the region had a combined GDP of $3.3tn in 2021, there is an uneven spread of foreign investment across the diverse 10 member countries to the Asean bloc. The five largest Asean economies — 🇮🇩Indonesia, 🇹🇭Thailand, 🇸🇬Singapore, 🇻🇳Vietnam and 🇲🇾Malaysia — accounted for 96.5% of manufacturing FDI pledged to the region in 2022 and 2023. The 🇵🇭Philippines attracted $2.6bn in those two years, while the four other Asean members — 🇰🇭Cambodia, 🇱🇦Laos, 🇲🇲Myanmar and 🇧🇳Brunei — made up the remainder.

☝️The build-out of supply chains in Asean was initially driven by companies trying to get around the US tariffs on goods produced in China introduced by former US president 🇺🇸👔Donald Trump and aimed at reducing the US trade deficit with China. ❗️It is not only Western multinationals that have ramped up their Asean investment. A third of the region’s manufacturing FDI in 2023 came from China itself, up from 18.5% before the pandemic in 2019. In fact, Chinese investment was more than treble that from other major source markets like the 🇺🇸US, 🇰🇷South Korea and 🇯🇵Japan. follow us: ➡️✅@NewEasternOutlook
