How Asia Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Pandemic

While much of the world is still in the grips of a tumultuous pandemic, areas of Asia are in recovery and planning for the year ahead, albeit at a cautious pace. China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Australia are executing roadmaps for economic recovery, and there are signs that some countries will benefit at the expense of distracted western democracies. How does the next year look for the region? Will Asia emerge from the pandemic region stronger, and have a bolder China to contend with? In this La Trobe Asia webinar we will be joined panel of experts to discuss Asia’s pandemic recovery. Panel: Tanvi Madan (Senior Fellow, Brookings Institute) Bill Hayton (Associate Fellow, Chatham House Asia-Pacific) Nick Bisley (Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University) Chair: Bec Strating (Executive Director, La Trobe Asia) Webinar held on 14 May, 2020.
