Malaysia PM
During UN Week in NY, it was a delight to hear Singapore's Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan speak at the Asia Society about the digital revolution, trade policies and a new paradigm underscoring the importance of data over  land and capital as power indicators. Also a pleasure to hear Malaysia PM Dr. Mahathir talk about his comeback at 93 years of age, and his country's progress and challenges, with Kevin Rudd of the Asia Society Policy Institute.

Great to hear Lu Pin, the intellectual leader of China's #MeToo movement, share insights on the burgeoning feminist movement in China with Leta Hong Fincher, who has written  a new book, "Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China."
 
Another week and three more innovative Chinese tech companies with China VC backers go public in New York.  These startups are hardly known in the West. But that could change. Read more about CooTek, LAIX and Viomi here at Forbes: 3 IPOs.
