"#SouthEastAsia is home to some of the world’s most exciting economies. Its population of 700m is youthful; it should benefit from investment flows as multinationals seeking to serve the Western market hunt for factory sites outside China. The IMF expects South-East Asia''s economy to grow at almost 5% a year in the second half of the decade. By contrast, China's growth rate is projected to sag towards 3%. "But a deadening business environment is limiting the region’s potential. Its largest companies are overwhelmingly banks, natural-resources firms or state-owned enterprises. Apart from a handful of exceptions like Grab, a ride-hailing firm, and Sea, a gaming and e-commerce company, few operate in high-tech sectors. The combined value of investible stocks across the region is nearly $900bn, less than half that of India. In dollar terms, share prices today are a third below their levels in early 1997, before the start of the Asian financial crisis." https://lnkd.in/gycFjXeb #GlobalBusiness

Promoters of Gelephu Mindfulness City in #Bhutan "talk a lot about 'mindfulness,' touting it as a place of spiritual retreats and harmony with nature. At its core, though, the idea is much harder-edged: it is designed to be a financial center offering a gateway to #India, much as #Singapore and #HongKong do for #China." https://lnkd.in/geTAnqJ7 #GlobalBusiness

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) issued a joint bulletin titled, "Safeguarding Our Innovation" to help protect U.S. emerging technology #startups from investment by foreign threat actors. "U.S. emerging tech startups are at the forefront of American innovation, but they face risks when seeking potential foreign investment to expand their firms. Unfortunately, our adversaries continue to exploit early-stage investments in U.S. startups to take their sensitive data. These actions threaten U.S. economic and national security and can directly lead to the failure of these companies. Today's bulletin highlights this evolving threat and provides guidance for startups to secure their innovation as they grow," said NCSC Director Michael Casey. https://lnkd.in/gK6ushpT

In an article about #China beating America in the #nuclear-energy race, The Economist notes that "China connected its first civilian reactor to the grid in 1991, some three decades after America had done the same. Now, though, China is ten to 15 years ahead of America in deploying fourth-generation #nuclear technology, according to the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, a think-tank in Washington. China is also building conventional reactors far more quickly. Of the 60 or so plants under construction globally, 45% are in China." https://lnkd.in/eq7CNS3E #GlobalBusiness
