Opinion | Will Trump or Biden be better for Asean amid US-China stand-off?

Under Biden, US foreign policy will not ‘snap back’ to that of the Obama era and Asean countries will find themselves at the centre of an intensifying Sino-US rivalry.

The larger the trade partnership gets, the better it is for its members and the more attractive it becomes for those left outside – and it could propel an even larger East Asian alternative that would ultimately supersede it.
