Southeast Asia - Balancing Beijing

When it comes to relations with China, Southeast Asian countries tread between anticipation and unease, relying on its economic might but also wary of its military ambition. How might the Covid-19 pandemic reshape alliances in the region? We discuss the dynamics at play with long-time Southeast Asian political observer Murray Hiebert, author of the book "Under Beijing's Shadow: Southeast Asia's China Challenge."
