China has long been central to investors interested in Asia but things are changing. Other areas are becoming increasingly appealing for different types of investors, from India to Southeast Asia but also the Japan-Taiwan corridor tightly linked to the US for AI. While this reshuffling happens, China’s increasingly massive investment in manufacturing is creating overcapacity and deflationary pressures. The question is what is next? Join us to gain in-depth insights from a much sought-after commentator and chief economist who will shed lights on these hot questions.

This after-work session is a part of our series for Asia Society France Patrons with experts and high-level speakers on Asia-related topics.
