Major countries in East Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, and China, saw exports rise in the first quarter of 2026, thanks to strong shipments of semiconductors and power equipment, despite the oil price shock triggered by the Middle East war.

This is the question. There are tons of posts about this, but most seem to be divided by people who started or studied mid-covid in China. Job market has significantly changed in recent years, and many very good opportunities opened and closed in recent years for locals, and I'm curious if its the case for internationals.

Customs cleared on the 5th, and haven’t heard anything since. Does anyone know what could cause this? The package is pretty large as it is golf clubs, so maybe that has something to do with it?

In the poll conducted between March 20 and April 3 this year, Malaysia recorded a 16-percentage-point drop in positive views of the United States, the steepest fall among the Southeast Asian nations surveyed.
Only 34 per cent of Malaysians now view the US as having an overall positive influence on world affairs over the next decade.
