East Asia Tonight: Trump-North Korea, China-India border, ASEAN could beat China's growth

On East Asia Tonight (Aug 1), a former North Korean diplomat says Pyongyang wants to restart nuclear talks with the US; China and India speed up border talks; and a study says Southeast Asia could beat China on growth and FDI in 10 years. We also look at the People's Liberation Army's bid to modernise on its 97th birthday with retired colonel Zhou Bo.

All Asian countries should come together as one. This is the only way to rise peacefully and help those countries in need. Be a good example to the world 🌎.

China only use that as media mileage. But in real situation, China never abide the agreement. 😂😂😂😂

That's how disputes should be resolved, by dialogue and compromise. Remember that the US wants to divide and conquer. India and China will inevitably collaborate because each needs each other's huge market just across the border.

China is a leader of the global south but that also doesn’t mean India isn’t a leader as well. Along with Russia and Brazil. They are bricks for a reason.

USA should investing in Singapore... because Singapore is investing that money into China.

As an Indian i am doubtful about the resolutions, if you look into the history of India china war, they are not trustworthy.They fought a full fledged war just for not hand over dalailama after their Tibet invasion especially in a tough time. Anyway lets hope for the best. If they are honest now, lets hope for a peaceful future.

If Beijing loss to bring India to the bloc then The US will use that as leverage and there will be no change in the world, The poor will remain poor and the west will continue to exploit Africa as usual but We will blame India

In the real world the might is the right. The so -called Indo Chinese border in the Himalaya is entirely based on this unprincipled principle and the UNA correspondent in India followed the same principle, unfortunately.

But the fact is: There's no border between China and India. So the border agreement or border dispute does not exist. However, India has a long time border with Tibet in the whole of
Himalaya from Ladakh in West to Arunachal in the east. So the report is not accurate but very correct in the game of power- politics.

Of course both India and China can easily ignore the fact. But the power game between PRC and India is inherent stuff of forever DISTRUST between two the nations just like Singapore's forever DISTRUST of PRC in security matters.

[liar-liar]

Why does the world have to follow the US Israel EU leadership, hasn't the colonialism ended yet, ??

[TheVikingmythology]

[timothymontes]

What happened to China's international good will as symbolized by the Belt and Road project? Now it's a belligerent face it shows to the world as shown in its aggressive behavior in its border claims with India and Southeast Asian countries in the South China Sea.
