@youronlyone Sorry but I'm betting more on the ASEAN than Japan-Korea-Philippines. We have closer cultural and political ties with other ASEAN nations.
Japan has a stagnant economy for 3 decades and it will continue. Korea only has a soft power via entertainment. ASEAN is the fastest growing economy for a region. Indonesia is already becoming an economic power in the top 4.
SEA is the most vulnerable to climate change and economic growth that would produce innovation should be our priority.
