But what does this mean for Singaporeans? Should businesses still bet on China? Is India really the next manufacturing giant? And why is Japan still a powerhouse despite its slow growth? We explore the rising economic influence of Asia's power trio - China, India, and Japan - with our special guest [Jamus Jerome Lim](https://www.parliament.gov.sg/mps/list-of-current-mps/mp/details/jamus-jerome-lim-chee-wui), Associate Professor of Economics, [ESSEC Business School](https://faculty.essec.edu/en/cv/lim-jamus/)and Member of Parliament for Sengkang GRC.

Whether you're interested in regional expansion, career opportunities, or understanding macro trends that will shape the future, this episode offers valuable perspectives from both academic and policy angles. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Asia's economic powerhouses and what their evolution means for Singapore and the region. **What We Discuss:** - [02:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=139s) - How are China, India, and Japan shaping Asia’s economy, and what does it mean for Singapore? - [09:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=594s) - What’s your take on China’s economy, especially with the Hukou system and internal migration shifts? - [16:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=960s) - Do you think business confidence and entrepreneurship have been structurally impacted? - [21:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=1274s) - Despite economic stagnation, is Japan still a major player in innovation and finance? - [26:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=1574s) - Is India a land of opportunity or too complex for investors? - [34:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=2076s) - How can Singaporeans and businesses seize opportunities in the Asian century? - [37:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M&t=2239s) - What national policies could strengthen our economy and combat inflation? **Episode Resources:** - [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/47lTlFA8ELBZ2aH0nKhQdx) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETJoAdFNg8M) - [Apple podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/investing-in-asia-what-about-japan-china-india-chills/id1487004505?i=1000697964009) ![Asian Economies: History Institutions & Structures – MPHOnline.com](https://mphonline.com/cdn/shop/files/41WOAoAdfCL._SY445_SX342.jpg?v=1713336315) Get Jamus Lim's book [here](https://www.amazon.sg/Asian-Economies-History-Institutions-Structures/dp/1119913160/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3R7HFZHR7DUXF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.RVuPjZrGWEdhc_OC3QoO6g.xVXOIICncLjMil_8uWJTm7RtHA8JJ5oVbZiDkDLOzwY&dib_tag=se&keywords=jamus+jerome+lim&qid=1714374309&sprefix=jamus+jerome+lim%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-1) New Episodes every Thursday Share us your thoughts on this episode and let us know what do you want to hear next.
