Hi and welcome to East Asia Insights.

This is where I share the key developments shaping mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore, and what they mean beyond the region.

Grounded in the same four pillars as my book West meets East, these insights focus on the intersection of economy, technology, energy and culture.

If you don’t speak Mandarin but want a clear, insider-informed perspective that complements Western news, you’re in the right place. Each month, I select and interpret the most relevant stories from trusted East Asian sources such as South China Morning Post, The Straits Times, Xinhua, Taipei Times and Reuters.
