Good conversation, Jordan. Quite a time to be going back to China for a visit. You’ll soon notice how quickly skepticism and distrust have increased as to what America’s new motives are in Emerging Asia.

Watching media owners/ execs jet in to kiss the ring shows that the almighty dollar trumps everything. I wonder how much money & power is enough for these people?

Always interested in talking about Da Nang, Charlie. My GF and I are planning on being there for a few weeks in June during the fireworks festival; I lived in Hội An before the pandemic and love a lot of the sustainability and smart building initiatives in Quang Nam.

Sad state of affairs, JB. I have friends working for NGOs as well as USAID in Southeast Asia and their office doors are locked, no paychecks coming, and emails shut off.

Hi Carl – as an entrepreneur and investor in 50+ startups, I think that there’s a lot of truth to Sam’s point. In the “move fast, break things” world, forgiveness comes easy, and the media creates huge paper value for some of these guys while Elon trolls. All news is good news, as the saying goes.

Enjoying following your thoughts, Mike. Those of us Americans abroad, especially in Emerging Asia, are following the whipsaw of Trump’s actions with bated breath. And Elon WASN’T ELECTED so I don’t know where his mandate came from.
