priorities for asean this year.a lot of the news coming out of these meetings is going to be focused on these two issues that asean is going to meet as a grouping before the singapore contains the east asia summit. they will focus on the south china sea issues. their discussion with china over negotiating a draft code of conduct. there's been some modest progress towards negotiating a draft. still has a long way to go. there's a major disagreements but this is something asean has been pushing for for over two decades. and china has been very reluctant to move forward. some momentum began to build and 2016 after the arbitral tribunal made an award that was very favorable to philippines and it sort of brought china back to the table, those there's been a lot of work by singapore to try to push this code of conduct closer to conclusion. so there's now a single draft text that would be the basis for further negotiations that was announced during the asean china summit in august. and so there will be some talk about that

a lot of manufacturing shifting from china to asean but can they keep up with china?ina 2025? in the end for asean the challenge will be to upscale the people because this is the biggest challenge for all these countries. technology is there but you need to upscale the people because only the combination of people and technology will have an impact for countries and for corporations. alibaba's founder had some strong words about the us — china trade war. he made the us — china trade war. he made the comments in shanghai. it recently took back an earlier pledge to create more than a million jobs in the us because of the tradable launched by president trump. trade war is the most stupid thing in this world. trade is to have peace, to communicate. there would be no trade deficit issue in the next two years because of technology. that is what he thinks about the tradable. let's look at the trade markets. they are high. most investors taking her wait and see attitude towards the us midterms. awaiting the results. we also saw resources stocks doing well with oil prices risi

asean operates on a consensus basis.re worried about south china sea, for example, you can count on laos and cambodia sticking with china and preventing asean from doing anything which china might find objectionable. >> we are witnessing a rapidly expanding presence of china in the indo ocean region, and we understand that china has a desire to emerge as a major maritime power. we don't quarrel with that, but what is happening has implications for us. >> i think that when you have a rising power like china, countries which are close neighbors, like india, or countries that were predominately economic powers, like the united states, have to think about their position. they might get a bit uneasy because of the strength of china and the way in which china wants to, quite understandably in -- and rightly, link up with the rest of the world. stephen: and the rest of the world means much more than just the routes along the ancient silk road. globalization, conductivity, 21st century transport and finance. to gets still very h

looking to us so it is our own interests that both commercial and diplomatic and wednesday's russia asean summit in singapore looks like a pretty good opportunity that's where our correspondent now reports from. wednesday's the day when russia goes on the charm offensive here in singapore and with latimer putin himself leading the delegation it really leaves no room for doubt as to how really important this summit for russia is now there's a number of things most you could be seeking from this gathering the first and the most straightforward one is pushing the market seeing its weapons in the region a number of regional countries have already invested couple of billion of dollars to russian arms like for example indonesia vietnam the philippines got their free tranche of weapons to help them combat i still on the territory another and a more subtle diplomatic pursuit russia could be in the here is revolves around the fact that china and the united states well the relations between the countries are quite hostile over a multitude of things and so are the nations who are present here they'r

we start with the straits times, which is leading with the asean summit in singapore. rico what he hope will come of it. the straits times reports that singapore's prime minister is stressing the need for cooperation between the asean nations is important, due to threats like terorrism and climate change. the international edition of the japan times has a story on a new survey, which suggests that japanese people are more concerned about emigration — that's people leaving the country — than immigration. it comes as japan is struggling with a declining and ageing population. and finally, the new york times has travelled into the brazilian amazon to report on the very complex relationship between remote tribes and miners. the picture, which is dominating their front page, is of an illegal gold mine, where one tribe cut a deal with the miners to secure access to the land. but it came with dire consequences for the land itself and the tribe's health. now rico, a rather strange find in the back of a car has got people talking online. that's right, kasia. french police have

known as the regional comprehensive economic partnership or our separate zone would include the ten asean nations as well as china japan india australia and new zealand it would encompass half the world's population and represent a third of global trade the sixteen countries involved agree that the partnership is a good thing in principle it wouldn't only spur trade within the bloc but also draw investors from outside it but for that to happen the conditions have to be right. stephanie and innovation. in order to further encourage the participation of companies or investors we need to set up rules such as intellectual property protection ensuring free data transmission across borders and prohibiting host countries demands to transfer technology. from on. demand clearly aimed at china other thorny issues include the questions of how far tariffs should fall and what markets should be thrown open india in particular has little desire to open the floodgates to even more chinese products so there's a lot left to negotiate but if all goes according to plan the are set free trade agreement could

the apec summit, and there we re summit, the apec summit, and there were high hopes that summit and asean there to be more conciliatory tones between the us and china, but it seems to go in the opposite direction. of course, earlier this week, president trump are saying he's more than likely going to increase tariffs in january. going to increase tariffs in january. not only has president trump said he would increase tariffs, he is specifically said he would increase tariffs that would affect apple by 10—25%, which subsequently has seen the stocks of apple crumbling. this is a good example to understand better how the trade war is affecting the global economy, the structures of the global business systems. in some sense, the structure of the global business system is what you read on your iphone, designed in california and assembled in china. in many ways, the technology and the know—how is coming from the us but the components have to be imported from the us and assembled in china. if we imagine an increase in tariffs, as mrtrump, president trump, has announced, that would affect product

>> it is interesting to look at asean economies.urrent account deficit for india, indonesia, and the in deficit. we see the surplus countries are well-positioned in a year of turmoil this year. countries, the current accounts are very important. the deficit means you have to rely on foreign investment to finance your debt, so basically it could create volatility when the market is under pressure, so mostally across asean, the vulnerable commies are india, indonesia, and the philippines. we see the economic outlook for em be pretty soft for 2019, even earnings expectations are ratcheted lower , yet we are seeing these calls , but itcould be a buy is contingent on a u.s.-china trade truce and a weakening dollar as well. what needs to happen for this to materialize? basically what happens right now is the em outlook is largely dependent on china. the trade tensions between china and the u.s. will definitely be one of the biggest factors when we talk about the em outlook. basically, i think there is still a lot of talk about this china-

world leaders have wrapped up the asean and east asia summit in singapore and have moved on to papuafor the apec summit. us president donald trump's absence raise questions about commitment to the region while leaders from china, india andjapan the region while leaders from china, india and japan are focusing on building multilateral trade arrangements. in an interview with the bbc canadian prime minister justin trudeau told us who is winning ina justin trudeau told us who is winning in a world divided by multilateralism and nationalist visions. we have to recognise that citizens are anxious, anxious about the pace of change, anxious about transformation in our economies, anxious around the new waves of immigrants and of migrations around the world, anxious about their plays and their future and their kids' place and their future, and there are two choices in politics, you can either amplify those fears with a politics of populism and division or you can allay those fears with concrete, sometimes complex and reasonable solutions. i am very much obviously in the latter camp and i thin
