The global economy is undergoing profound change as it adapts to a post-pandemic world, grapples with the consequences of two wars amid continuing geopolitical tensions, and embraces the rise of new technologies such as AI. Asia is caught up in these tectonic shifts with China playing a critical role in reshaping trade and alliances as it wields its growing global influence. Southeast Asia is a key player in this evolving landscape, leveraging its proximity to China to expand its relevance to global supply chains and further global trade and investment.
Within Southeast Asia, Malaysia stands out, having attracted major investments in infrastructure, technology, and green energy, not least from China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Its chairmanship of ASEAN in 2025 puts the spotlight on its ties with regional partners, especially China.
The South China Morning Post presents the China Conference: Southeast Asia in February 2025. This hybrid event will convene diplomats, business leaders, and government officials to explore how China and Southeast Asia are shaping the region's future. Through discussions and networking sessions, participants will uncover new opportunities for collaboration, driving growth and innovation in an uncertain global economy.
