In a new report from the Center for China Analysis, Senior Fellow on Taiwan Simona A. Grano analyzes newly elected Taiwanese president Lai Ching-Te’s inaugural address and how it framed cross-Strait issues, Taiwan’s relationship with China, and other important topics. She concludes that, among other factors, how the PRC conducts its Taiwan-related policies will largely depend on how the Lai administration deals with a divided legislature and other domestic tensions.

Vice President @ The Rockefeller Foundation | Climate Action | Philanthropic Leadership | Asia
Last week, I participated in Asia Society's event for the launch of the report “Asia’s Climate Finance Needs & Opportunities: Advancing a Shared Vision”, supported by The Rockefeller Foundation. Ambassador Chantale Wong, Dr. Mari Elka Pangestu, and Rachel Kyte joined the launch event and the discussion focused on identifying priority actions for how global financial architecture reform could address Asia’s unique climate and development needs, and the opportunities and challenges for climate finance to concurrently enhance Asia’s economic and social development. The report takes stock of current financial flows, assesses how global financial reforms could enhance these flows, and offers recommendations for moving forward from an Asian perspective. Key recommendations include adopting a “whole-of-economy” approach, repurposing fossil fuel subsidies, and increasing finance for adaptation efforts by tapping into the private sector. These strategies aim to address the unique climate and development needs of Asia and support its transition towards sustainable growth.

Need a long weekend read? Check out this great report about health equity in Southeast Asia supported by BeiGene ⬇
In 2019, noncommunicable diseases accounted for approximately 40 million deaths — mostly in low-and-middle-income countries — with that number expected to surpass 100 million deaths per year by 2025. With an aging population, Southeast Asia will see an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, including cancer, and an increased demand for long-term care to address them. In a new Asia Society Policy Institute report, Alexandra Zenoff, MPH argues that investing in primary health care systems is crucial for improving health equity in Southeast Asia, where many rural populations don’t have access to specialized treatments like cancer care. Featuring Thailand as a case study, the report explores how innovations in health care workforce training could expand and improve equitable access to cancer care. Thanks to BeiGene for its support of this important initiative. #cancer #healthequity #southeastasia https://lnkd.in/dbpqX3Ax
