    If there is a breakdown of this global economy, definitely, the Belt and Road will be beneficial to the countries that are involved because China is still very much vested in multilateralism. With a hundred plus partners that are currently part of the Belt Road, there could a semi-global economy in operation.

    In the new world order Asia’s leadership does not mean Asia has to become an alternative architect. Instead, Asia only needs to be an articulate and empowered consumer, and allow demand and supply to work in the marketplace. With care, thought, and unity, ASEAN (and indeed all of Asia) can continue to make a success of this new marketplace for world order.
