Has an American leader who cut aid and imposed tariffs changed US ties with Asia forever? Or will it be business as usual with the region once the Trump era is over? Except for China, most Asian countries have been at pains to placate President Trump with offerings of crowns, gold golf clubs, and even a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Does the special treatment suggest a region seeking to get closer to America under Donald Trump’s leadership? Or is the rest of Asia edging away from US influence towards the world’s other superpower - China? Asia Specific host Mariko Oi is joined by the BBC’s China correspondent Laura Bicker and the BBC’s South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head. Asia Specific brings you essential insights and conversations on the stories shaping the Asia Pacific region - an economic powerhouse, geo-political flashpoint and the birthplace of global cultural trends. Asian perspectives on international issues and in-depth analysis on news from a region that’s home to nearly 2.5 billion people. Whether it is the latest on trade between China and Donald Trump, the rise and fall of political dynasties in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, or South Korea’s K-pop inspired soft power strategy - we unpack what key players are thinking and dive into the stories that matter. Hosted in Singapore by Mariko Oi alongside BBC experts in Beijing, Bangkok, and beyond – listen to new episodes twice a week.
