Episode 4: ASEAN and the US-China Rivalry: RCEP, CPTPP, and Beyond
Description
The US-China rivalry has inevitably put ASEAN in a difficult yet interesting situation. The Asia-Pacific, or rather, the Indo-Pacific region is home to world's most vibrant economies and trade links. Geographically located between the US and China, the Indo-Pacific region gave birth to a number of free trade arrangements in recent years, like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). With the departure of US from the TPP, the grouping of TPP-11 moved forward with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement on the Trans Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The rising tension between the US and China is now presenting ASEAN and its neighbors with challenges and opportunities.
In this fourth episode of The ASEANcast, we conversed with Rocky Intan, a researcher at the Department of International Relations, Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Indonesia.
