  • Summary

  • A 2024 survey of experts across Southeast Asia found that for the first time, more would see themselves aligned with China than the US in a hypothetical confrontation between the two superpowers.

    What are the implications of that shift, and more broadly is soft power and public perception abroad a significant factor in foreign policy?

    A version of this podcast was initially uploaded without any actual audio. We sincerely apologize for the confusion, and accept with grace the roughly fifty messages we got telling us how much of an improvement an hour of silence was.
