Our Asia-Pacific region is continuing to drive global economic growth as the new financial year sets off. But beneath this layer of business as usual, life is unsettled and fractious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The settings that formerly provided stability are in play, from the governance of global institutions to the guarantees of security.<\/p>\n

Some seek out those who \u00adappear to promise strong leadership, while others reject their opportunism.<\/p>\n

Xi Jinping was wildly applauded by the cognoscenti at Davos 18 months ago for his rhetorical championing of economic globalism.<\/p>\n

But Xi\u2019s China too remains in certain respects protective, as with the \u201cMade in China 2025\u201d campaign, and continuing barriers to investment there. In recent years, Beijing has also directed economic boycotts to back political campaigns, against countries including Japan, France, Norway, The Philippines, and most energetically, South Korea.<\/p>\n
