HEADLINES: There has been a lot going on this past week in Asia with geopolitical issues affecting the global future. In this week's Asia Briefing Weekly, The Bigger Picture section discusses US Competition versus Chinese Cooperation in policy attitudes and how these definitions will impact global climate, health and trade. ASEAN has been busy with new trade developments with the United States and Russia, while new regulatory measures impact operations in Singapore, Vietnam and India’s M&A market. We examine India’s auto sector and look at its import-export trends, and see why US investors, despite political rhetoric, are highly bullish on China. From the practical perspective we look at supplier audits.
