Along with the rising cases of coronavirus infection around the world, the political tensions between global major powers are also growing significantly. Experts from all over the world start to discuss the geopolitical and geo-economics aspects of the COVID-19 outbreak. From the fragility of the globalized system, the changes in global economic directions until the analysis of U.S.-China power race competition during and after the coronavirus pandemic. Many also debated on the failure of regional cooperation like the European Union and ASEAN in handling the spread of COVID-19. Is ASEAN getting more united? Therefore, to get more understanding of such issues, I interviewed Prof. Kishore Mahbubani, a world top foreign policy expert to discuss specifically on the U.S.-China coronavirus tension and its impact on the geopolitical dynamics of Southeast Asia.
