It is the latest sign that Washington’s increasingly heated competition with Beijing has now spread to Southeast Asia. The Treasury Department accused Union Development Group (UDG) of “seizure and demolition of local Cambodians’ land” for the construction of Dara Sakor, a coastal resort area that is planned to include golf courses, casinos, luxury housing, an airport,... https://www.scmp.com/politics/us-sanctions-chinese-firm-seizure-cambodian-land/article/3101726?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/politics/us-sanctions-chinese-firm-seizure-cambodian-land/article/3101726?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 16 Sep 2020 09:36:20 +0000 Chinese dams aren’t the problem causing droughts for downstream nations along the Mekong River – they are part of the solution – says a Chinese study released in July. The study is an attempt to pour water on claims by a rival US-backed investigation that blamed dams in China for water shortages suffered by Southeast Asian countries on the river’s lower reaches. The Chinese study, a collaboration between Tsinghua University and China’s Institute of Water Resources, argues that the dams help... https://www.scmp.com/society/are-chinas-dams-responsible-droughts-along-mekong-river/article/3095779?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/society/are-chinas-dams-responsible-droughts-along-mekong-river/article/3095779?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 03 Aug 2020 12:00:02 +0000 After navigating her way through three rounds of interviews, H.P. Tan, a senior from the National University of Singapore, a top-ranking school in Asia, had all but secured a job at a public relations firm last month. But the job would never come to pass. Under pressure to cut cost to weather the pandemic downturn, the company paused its hiring and rejected Tan. “When I got that rejection, it was a turning point. I didn’t think I would be directly impacted,” said the 23-year-old. Tan is like... https://www.scmp.com/business/coronavirus-pandemic-could-haunt-fresh-graduates-their-entire-careers/article/3080666?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/business/coronavirus-pandemic-could-haunt-fresh-graduates-their-entire-careers/article/3080666?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 20 Apr 2020 11:10:15 +0000 Internet users in Vietnam have expressed outrage at a 26-year-old woman who tested positive for the new coronavirus after returning from Europe. The woman, who has been identified by name on a government website, is connected to a cluster of new patients that brought the number of infections in the country to 35. Until her diagnosis on March 6, Vietnam had reported a total of 16 cases and no new infections for 22 days.  The series of infections linked to the woman highlights the infectiousness... https://www.scmp.com/health/rising-anger-vietnam-over-new-cluster-coronavirus-infections/article/3074613?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/health/rising-anger-vietnam-over-new-cluster-coronavirus-infections/article/3074613?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 11 Mar 2020 11:51:19 +0000 This article originally appeared on ABACUS Vivo is bringing the S1 Pro to Southeast Asia, but it has little in common with the original Vivo S1 Pro launched in China back in May.

They are bringing their industry know-how and experience to seize untapped businesses in the region while opportunities at home diminish, according to Michael Zhu, a Shanghai-based managing partner at Gobi Partners, which manages about US$1.1... https://www.scmp.com/tech/china-tech-firms-are-boosting-investment-southeast-asia/article/3037812?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/tech/china-tech-firms-are-boosting-investment-southeast-asia/article/3037812?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:00:23 +0000 Oppo, the world’s fifth largest smartphone vendor, is accelerating the expansion of its retail network in Southeast Asia, where the Chinese company is poised to overtake regional market leader Samsung Electronics.   Dongguan-based Oppo on Friday launched its first flagship store in the region in Bangkok, capital of Thailand, according to Jimmy Yi, president of Oppo Asia-Pacific.

The value of newly announced big-ticket deals in the region – investment commitments and construction contracts worth more than $100 million – dropped just  under 50% in 2018 to $19.2 billion, its lowest in four years, according to analysis by Citi Economics based on data from US think tank American Enterprise Institute. 49.7% Drop in value of... https://www.scmp.com/business/belt-and-road-doubts-lead-slowing-investment-southeast-asia/article/3000625?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/business/belt-and-road-doubts-lead-slowing-investment-southeast-asia/article/3000625?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 29 Jan 2019 09:20:29 +0000 Just like French fries didn't come from France, Hainan chicken isn't from Hainan island in China. There is, however, a consensus that the deliciously silky chicken dish did get its inspiration from what is commonly known just as “chicken rice” in the southern Chinese province, or “wen chang” chicken, as it's come to be known. The wen chang chicken is a free-range chicken breed used to make chicken rice in Hainan.
