Southeast Asia is home to a wide range of ethnolinguistic groups that extend across a vast territory. Spread interchangeably are forests, mountains, valleys, rivers, deltas, coastlines, islands and archipelagos. With such a divergent environment, the nations of Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and the Philippines, have distinctly different identities, beliefs and geopolitical needs.

"Cultural diversity is good on the surface, but it is a geopolitical barrier to national unity and opens the back door to foreign intervention" wow, if that isn't the realest thing I ever heard.

I love how balanced you are in presenting the ASEAN geopolitics--truly a spot on! The geopolitical setup in Southeast Asia is also the reason why ASEAN has an agreement of non-interference of domestic affairs.

Finally YouTube shows me something I actually WANT to see.

This is the most informative, objective channel on youtube. I follow this channel for several years now, seen most of the videos. I am so much impressed with its content as compared to other similar channels. I love how each video is loaded with information properly supported with flawless analyses, straight to the point, heavily researched and not a whiff of bias. Thanks Shirivan and Caspian report team for this channel. you guys rock!

One of the best videos I've seen on YouTube, and out of many great CaspianReport videos, I rate this as the best I've seen so far. I'm British but I live in South East Asia, and despite doing my best to keep up-to-speed with SE Asian politics, culture, society etc., this video just taught me a great deal. Thanks also for a more than 30 minute production - exceptional work from all involved :-)

ASEAN must patronize and help each other and in no time these nations will rise as one. Love from a Filipino

[SukacitaYeremia]

This taught me why the five founding nations of ASEAN are those five in maritime SEA...

[chavezchavo]

It's 2019 and i'm just watching all this with popcorn in hand from Malaysia...

[ColeLPeltier]

Awesome video! I found the segments regarding the vulnerability of Myanmar, Indonesia, and Cambodia to be very intriguing. Very persuasive presentation.

Oh boy the “military faction is loosening power” didn’t age well

[Astania]

As a political science student. Im really thankful for you making this video. I always distrust PRC, but also don't like being too close with the United States, or Éstados Unidos here in Philippines, but still Thank you for the informations you presented to us.

South East Asia: *exists*
China and USA: GIMME!

In ASEAN we have:
Islam
Buddhism
Christianity
Folk religions
Monarchy
Democracy
Communism
over 10 thousanda ethnicities and languages
we have mountains forests volcanos beaches savanas
Pobably the most diverse region in the world but tho we get along quite well and look quit similar

[brianjonker]

I have watched a few episodes from Caspian report. The breadth of your topics is stunning and seems to come with a real understanding for the local issues

[thestudentofficial]

Nice! Now you actually covered entire SEA. Thank you.

Indonesia is planning on moving their captial away from Java, so Jakarta might not be the capital for much longer.

[belvinananda]

if asean unite think how strong we will be, no country in the world will dare to mess with us, we will hold control one of the most important trading route in the world, our resource is abundand, our people are strong and smart, we dont need the world, the world will need us. its a pipe dream but someday i hope we stop bickering with each other and realize how strong we are if we are united.

As Indonesian I have to praise you for your great pronunciation of those islands. Well done. Great video
