Synopsis: On the third Friday of every month, The Straits Times examines various facets of the US-China rivalry and its implications for Asia.
Join Charissa Yong and Danson Cheong - ST’s US and China correspondents respectively based in Washington DC and Beijing - as they chat about the prospect or possibility of an "Asian Nato".
Nato is the well-known US-led military alliance in Europe. But how likely is a similar scenario in Asia? And what will this mean for China, which has been vocal about its concerns?
Highlights (click/tap above):
0:40 What recently triggered this talk of an "Asian Nato"? What was China's response?
2:31 Are we seeing the makings of an "Asian Nato”? How did we get to this point?
4:45 A solidifying shift against China in the region?
8:17 Will we see Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea join Nato?
