for example, many japanese companies relocated their factories in china to southeast asia or south asia the number of japanese citizens living in china have been decreasing from 150,000 in 2012 to 124,000 in 2017. meanwhile, the number of japanese in the united states have increased from 410,000 in 2012 to 426,000 in 2017. blue line is japanese staying in the united states and red line is japanese saying in china. so therefore, given that for japan, china is threat, china is going to be loser, for japan, strong u.s. policy toward china is welcome. japan is right to be on the side of the united states. thank you very much. >> thank you. i think you will agree we had four terrific presentations. they ran a little bit over our targeted time but that's okay. as i understand this, we have until 1:30 at a minimum but maybe can slip over a few minutes if there are urgent questions or comments. ground rules are very simple. i would ask you if you have a comment, a question, to identify yourself and your affiliation, please, and to direct your comment or question to one or more of the panelists.

i've been an opportunity to live many years of my life in china and southeast asia in the past 20 years. i have noticed that southeast asian countries and friends and leaders and all of that, were very aware of china's presence, the great power to the north. china not so much in terms of looking south toward southeast asia. what i have really noticed in the last five or six years as i come and go from beijing, is a rising interest in that particular region. this is not an accident. i think what we are seeing is a new sort of, i would not call it a grand strategy so much as a foreign policy orientation. where shaping the surrounding region or neighborhood diplomacy is becoming more and more important to china's broader strategy. and they themselves see it as a platform for their rise more generally. i also see it, and this is the title of my paper, that they see southeast asia to some extent as a testing ground, for practicing the ways of becoming a great power, in a region that is full of small and medium powers or very large countries demographically, like indonesia. in terms of the to

emily: and you have no plans to expand outside southeast asia? anthony: no.ly: you do have offices in seattle, which is where we are. any plans to expand in the u.s.? anthony: nope. emily: anything that would change that? anthony: nope. emily: why not? hoo ling: we have an r&d center in seattle, malaysia and bangkok. u.s., china and india -- great tech talent. emily: let's talk about the super app. this is so much more than a ride hailing business. what else -- you are delivering food. what else do you plan to do? hoo ling: we want to create a technology platform that can literally house multiple digital ecosystems and economies. do foode today we delivery, parcel delivery, and payments in financial services. we now have multiple amazing partners helping us with things like health care. care, we have amazing technology from china to help us enable more folks to get health services and products easily in southeast asia. we also have a partnership with happy fresh, where they do grocery deliveries with us. we also have partnerships with video and content player

they are encouraging us to go weger, bolder, better, so can serve southeast asia more consistently. >ationship with masa. he's said you can have unlimited capital, but you are not asking for unlimited capital? >> no, that means unlimited dilution. [laughter] we're extremely close and we're very blessed to have a mentor and friend and partner in this journey. but i will not right now need that capital or want that capital today, because we have enough to invest in what we need today. >> so ling, you surpassed a billion dollars in revenue last year. you're on track to double that this year. where is the growth going to come from? >> in terms of countries and regions in southeast asia, the biggest trajectory and growth area is indonesia, where we are doubling and tripling down. >> how far away is profitability? >> in seven markets, seven verticals, it's already profitable. for us it's important that we build and create more value. it's easy to say you're the most popular app, just chill. as opposed to, we are the single most popular app but there are lots of competitors, so we need to ma

he served for nearly a decade in southeast asia, during the vietnam war. >> you know anything about specialeen berets, they're the people who parachute behind the lines and they work with indigenous people and help them defend themselves. >> reporter: but most of what he was doing then, he couldn't really talk about. >> correct. >> reporter: the troops he trained and served with had been secretly recruited by the cia. made up mostly of hmong and lao descent, this secret army took tens of thousands of casualties fighting communism in southeast asia, lives that otherwise might have been american. but for decades, the u.s. government denied their sacrifice. in recording colonel beckley made after he retired, it was clear that ignoring those foreign fighters haunted him long after the war had ended. >> i made a silent promise to myself that they would have their memorial, and it would not just be in asia, that their memorial would be in the united states as compatriots of ours. >> i mean, this was a mission. >> reporter: in 1990, colonel beckley set out to build his tribute with the help of a s

it seems like the british, the germans with their raiders steaming around southeast asia because they didn't have any problem getting fuel for their ships. the british didn't have any problem getting fuel for their ships. in 1937 the japanese attempted to get a oil consortium agreement with southeast portuguese teamwork and nothing seemed to ever happen. why couldn't the japanese biofuel from the npi, in other words netherlands, east india in their islands which were still flush with oil today. why do they have to come thousand miles across the pacific and 5000 miles back? >> that's a good question i realize that doesn't pertain exactly what you were talking about but he had been here for 10 years and i can't help but think maybe somewhere along the lines maybe you've got to think about another fuel source. >> group was going to help the japanese in that regard. grew notwithstandinganything i said , i don't want to create misimpression, grew was a patriot and he saw his role as an ambassador, as a representative of the united states, he saw it as his mission to promote peace because h

. >> we're protesting richard nixon's stupid action of expanding the war in southeast asia. >> president you're not going to tell me that somebody escalates war that wants peace. he's just lying to the american people. >> you know, you see these bums, you know, blowing up the campuses. >> listen. the boys that are on the college campuses today are the luckiest people in the world. and here they are burning up the books. i mean, storming around about this issue. i mean, you name it. get rid of the war, there'll be another one. >> you can't have the president of the united states alienating students, refer to students as bums. >> the statement, itself, really was an affront to students emotionally. >> leave immediately. >> after two days of rioting over cambodia, the university banned rallies and the guard stood by to enforce the ban. ♪ >> being called a bum because she disagreed with someone else's opinion. she felt the war in cambodia was wrong. have we come to such a state in this country that a young girl has to be shot because she disagrees deeply with the actions of her government? >

both regions are lookingal southeast asia as huge potential growth areas.verybody sees southeast asia as a region of growth for the future and it's not short term. it's going to be for the next few decades and that's the growth we want to help drive and lead in growth for the rest of the country. >> we've seen many founding teams fall apart. there's blood on the floor. you guys seem to have a great working rhythm. how do you maintain that? >> we have an amazing relationship because we share that foundation of values system and we share that passion for what we believe we can contribute back to the region and we do know it's unique and hence why we cherish and value it even more. at the same time well know there are more possibilities for others like us to equally find the same passion. we ep courage it. we've launched something called grab flolssi. our way to help other start-ups in the region trying to find skim. we were able to stand on the shoulders of giants and we're hoping we can give them a little boost that they all deserve as well. taylor: that was

orangutans are native to only two islands in southeast asia.a, but the vast majority live here in borneo. i have come to the semenggoh nature reserve where the rangers are preparing for the morning feed. it looks like they eat quite well because there is a whole buffet here, and it seems like every day there is a different meal plan. so today is saturday, so they will have 21 kg of bananas, and then sweet potatoes, chicken eggs and pineapples. oh, it's heavy. maybe 15 kilos. ooh, 0k. where are we at? almost 20. we are ready, 21 kg. so emel, tell me what is special about semenggoh nature reserve? ok, so semenggoh wildlife centre actually started off as a rehab centre, so we were established back in 1975, so it is more than a0 years ago. the reserve took orangutans that had been rescued from captivity or suffered from habitat loss, and taught them to live wild in the surrounding forest. since then, the rehabilitation programme has been moved elsewhere, but the forest is still home to 33 orangutans, and tourists have a chance to glimpse those temp

china and southeast asia were very important to the japanese because they were rich in the resources that japan did not have. japan had a legitimate right to be in china. they had a railroad, and they had other rights that enabled them to stay there. and they could have stayed there. japan had had interests in china long before there was a war. so i guess the response to your question is, grew certainly believed that there was a chance, a reasonable chance that there could be some benefit to japan and peace. but i will tell you, to go to your other point, as i mentioned, japanese leaders understood the risk of war with the united states. they understood that they could not survive in a long war with the united states. in fact, an admiral is the one who devised the strategy to attack pearl harbor, and he did it because he said japan can't last in a long war with the united states. the only way we can survive in a war is to deal the united states a crippling blow at the outset. he thought that maybe pearl harbor -- an attack at the naval base of pearl harbor would do that. but even the
