At the sametime, a drive for supply chain diversification has created new opportunities for otherAsian economies, although not yet proving to be resilient against shocks from thegreat power rivalry. Away from geopolitics, the region's economic landscape is characterized by asharp dichotomy between industries benefiting from AI-driven demand and thosestill grappling with lingering consumer and indu
