AP 24.1292 World 101 – East Asia & the Pacific Explained
Posted Nov 4, 2019

This economic success has also come with greater geopolitical ambitions as China works to expand its influence around the world and as far afield as the Arctic Circle. With China rising and other Asian economies continuing to grow, this region commands our attention—because what happens here will affect the rest of the world.
