2025 outlook: Asia braces for the Trump storm
As 2025 begins, people across Asia are now bracing for the storm that will be unleashed when Donald Trump takes office as U.S. president on Jan. 20. A number of Nikkei Asia's regular columnists have tried to forecast what may be in store in a series of articles published across the New Year.
Brahma Chellaney says Trump should use his high favorability rating in India to forge a "soft" alliance with New Delhi, while William Pesek writes that Trump 2.0 is on a collision course with Chinese President Xi Jinping's "Made in China 2025" dream. In Southeast Asia, David Hutt writes that the Hun family in Cambodia faces external pressure and internal unrest, and Richard Heydarian says that ASEAN's interest in BRICS is a hedge against Trump.
The coming year will be a test for both Japan and South Korea's economies, as well as bilateral ties -- especially with Japan-friendly President Yoon Suk Yeol having been impeached and facing arrest. And with 2025 marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Nikkei Asia Editor-in-Chief Shin Nakayama argues that it is time for Asian nations to step up and fill the global leadership vacuum by learning from historical lessons and harnessing collective wisdom.
