📢 Stephen Olson, our senior adjunct fellow, offers valuable insights in a South China Morning Post SCMP article by Kandy Wong and Huifeng He on China's manufacturing dominance ahead of the Paris Olympics. 🗣️ "China remains competitive at both ends of the spectrum... over time, I would expect to see more low-cost manufacturing move to lower-cost locations such as Vietnam or India, but at least for now China has unique competitive advantages." 🔗 Read the full article by Kandy Wong and He Huifeng here: https://lnkd.in/gRMMfEgE #PacificForum #ParisOlympics

Genevieve Donnellon-May and I write for Lowy Institute Interpreter: "The upcoming G20 Summit in Brazil is set to unveil a dedicated “Ocean 20” policy to foster greater cooperation between governments, policymakers, researchers, and civil society groups. The November meeting will build on past efforts such as the Osaka Blue Ocean Vision and the Chennai High-Level Principles for a Sustainable and Resilient Blue/Ocean-based Economy. But there is a catch. Such measures are unlikely to produce desired results until the international community recognises the fundamental link between gender equality and ocean sustainability and the opportunities this presents are sincerely and rapidly pursued" Link below! #ocean #climatechange #g20 #women #genderequality #sustainabledevelopment #blueeconomy https://lnkd.in/gn2a5ai4

My reprinted Pacific Forum with YCAPS intern and International Christian University PhD student William Winberg writing on #NATO AP4 cooperation. « The AP4 includes four nations at the very forefront of political instability and economic disruptions that would be caught in the fallout of any major conflict in the Indo-Pacific region. Alone, they cannot to present any significant resistance to major challenges to the status quo in the region, but with reliable partners and meaningful cooperation, they pose a much better chance in avoiding an Indo-Pacific repeat of the disruptive events seen in Eastern Europe. Although the AP4 may not be able to reach a level of cooperation possible within a smaller framework consisting of similar countries—as with AUKUS—it could very well provide an avenue for coordination on various issues that are, in some sense, on a lower level but still invaluable for strengthening the coalition upholding the international order based rule of law in a time where it faces unprecedented levels of potential threat, both from outside and inside. » https://lnkd.in/g8-6krGw

🔍 Mark Manantan, our director of cybersecurity and critical technologies, provided valuable insights in Nikkei Asia regarding the Philippines-Japan troop pact. "Given its limited capacity and resources, the Philippines must be able to maximize each arrangement to fill in some gaps in its defense for territorial integrity in the South China Sea as well as other pressing challenges like cybersecurity, information warfare, and disaster response," Manantan noted. 🔗 Read the full article by Ramon Royandoyan: https://lnkd.in/gSdbJvCj #PacificForum #Philippines #Japan #DefenseTies #Cybersecurity
