Tan Sri Andrew Sheng - This is a war of elephants

In this episode of the *Asia Pacific Business Forum Podcast*, we speak with Tan Sri Andrew Sheng, one of Asia’s most respected voices on finance, governance, and global economic policy. A former central banker and financial regulator, Tan Sri Sheng brings a lifetime of insight into the shifting power dynamics shaping Asia’s response to global trade challenges.
 Our conversation examines how ASEAN nations are navigating the U.S. trade tariffs under the Trump administration—where new strategic partnerships are defining the region’s evolving economic landscape. Tan Sri Sheng remains cautiously optimistic but underscores the volatility of these relationships, invoking Henry Kissinger’s warning: ‘It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.’
