How is Southeast Asia navigating the age of automation and great power competition?

In this episode of the European Guanxi Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Brian Wong, HKU-100 Assistant Professor at the University of Hong Kong, to explore how Southeast Asia is developing in an era of rapid technological change and intensifying geopolitical rivalry.

Moving beyond traditional export-led manufacturing models, rethinking trade partnerships with the EU, and managing the pressures of Sino-American strategic competition, we unpack how Southeast Asia is shaping its future while striving for growth and strategic autonomy.
