The CSIS Asia Program is launching a new podcast this week that will review and analyze developments and trends in the Indo-Pacific.

This week our host Colm Quinn reviews key news stories in Asia, discusses Southeast Asia’s air travel infrastructure in the wake of the AirAsia crash with Sumitro Chair Ernie Bower, and interviews CSIS Japan Chair Michael Green on what to expect for the U.S. rebalance policy in Asia during the last two years of President Obama’s second term.

The opening podcast also includes an excerpt from the recent Schieffer series event at CSIS on China in Age of Xi Jinping, featuring Evan Osnos, Ambassador Jon Huntsman, and CSIS’s own Freeman Chair Chris Johnson. We also include our leaderboard profile of the week on Matt Salmon, as well as our One to Watch news story.
