Power Play Ep 1: Can US-China competition save the planet's environment?
9:57 mins
Synopsis: Once a month, join Charissa Yong and Danson Cheong - ST’s US and China correspondents respectively based in Washington DC and Beijing - as they both look at various facets of the US-China rivalry and its implications for Asia.
They chat about the following:
Why a US and China “race to the top” can strengthen the planet’s climate protection via competition to develop better and cheaper green technologies (6:55)
Why Asian countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia involved in coal projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative, might be "called out" or caught in this US-China tussle (7:46)
Join Charissa Yong and Danson Cheong as they chat with fellow ST Asian Insiders Bhagyashree Garekar, Nirmal Ghosh, Tan Dawn Wei and Zakir Hussain for this special Clubhouse chat at 8pm-8.45pm on May 25: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/event/xBzj7qn2
