The US-China trade war has companies eyeing potential opportunities in Southeast Asia, and the region’s manufacturing, textile, and seafood industries could potentially benefit, according to Bloomberg. Taipei was upbeat earlier this month, announcing that at least 40 businesses based on the mainland were planning to relocate to the island, and 30 more could be looking to Southeast Asia as they try to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of the escalating trade conflict, South China Morning Post reports. In terms of FDI, Vietnam leads the pack. In 2017 alone, Vietnam attracted US$35.88 billion in foreign direct investment whilst Indonesia, with nearly three times the population, trailed behind attracting only US$32.34 billion.
