#141: Asia in Lockdown

Asia has been coping with the coronavirus in a variety of ways. Some regions, such as China, Hong Kong and South Korea, have reached a point where they are living with it. Others, such as India, Indonesia and the Philippines, are just emerging with cases, and due to low testing it’s hard to get a full picture of the situation. In this episode of Asia Rising, we will hear from three countries in lockdown. Guests: Professor Paul Yip (Centre of Suicide Research and Prevention, Hong Kong University) Sea-Young Kim (East Asia Institute, Seoul, South Korea) Dr Sandesha Rayapa (Linguistic Empowerment Cell, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India)
