from our ASEAN, China, India, Russia, Belt & Road and Vietnam Briefings.

HEADLINES: There’s some controversial content this week as we look at new provisions for handling China-Taiwan trade, look at how Turkish retailers are snapping up US & EU rights for product distribution in Russia, how Iran’s Kish Island is becoming a booming Middle east success story and look at India being poised to accept Russia’s MIR credit and debit cards – and how New Delhi is handling Chinese investors.

Sticking with Turkiye we examine its mutual China trade and investment, see why Vietnam is popular with US investors looking for a way out of the PRC, discuss Indonesia’s huge halal market, and finish with our usual Belt and Road Initiative weekly roundup.
