    China's push to make new friends

    News, Kavi Chongkittavorn, Published on 29/08/2017

    » As the world's No.2 economic power with growing political clout, China is working hard to find regional strategic partners who it can "trust". The desired partners can be any countries in Asean that have minds of their own but understand the game of power politics.
