As we close out a tumultuous and unpredictable year, the arrival of 2021 brings a number of pressing questions. What might life in Asia look like after the pandemic? And what should we expect from the continent’s perennial hot spots — from North Korea to Afghanistan, Iran to the South China Sea? 

For our final episode of Asia In-Depth in 2020, five experts reflect on the past year and make predictions on what 2021 will look like across the Asia Pacific. We hear from author and Chairman and CEO of Hong Kong-based private equity firm PAG Weijian Shan, Chairman and Chief Executive of Afghanistan media company MOBY Group Saad Mohseni, former CIA analyst and senior fellow for Korea at the Center for Strategic and International Studies Sue Mi Terry, Bloomberg columnist and editor Bobby Ghosh, and the Head of Global G10 FX Research at Standard Chartered Bank Steven Englander. The conversation was moderated by Asia Society Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski.
