Welcome to the February 2019 issue of The Diplomat. This month, we take a deep dive into “Made in China 2025” and the extent of Beijing’s technological ambitions. We also analyze the ramifications of Japan’s coming aircraft carriers, visit the deadly coal mines of Pakistan’s Balochistan province, and explore how Malaysian civil society is adjusting to its new role under a new government. And, of course, we offer a range of reporting, analysis, and opinion from across the region.
