I've had great experiences with Grab in Thailand. It's much quicker and cheaper than Uber. Uber can't compete with Grab in SE Asia.

They make less than you think, the rest of Asia has stepped up its game and US retailers have shifted supply chains considerably since the first round of tariffs during his last time in office (and Bidens further increases). However, that might just be transshipment talking. Transshipments: hiding the true country of origin by shipping to another country and saying it was made there before shipping to the US. How widespread this is is not truly known though a major cabinet manufacturer was caught doing this. China also has special economic zones in other SE Asians countries where this is likely a major piece of their business.

Am thinking of doing option earnings play (selling to take advantage of the IV crush) but have never done before? How do you guys pick a suitable strike for it? In particular SE earnings before market open tomorrow So far I’ve been selling weeklies post earnings at 0.1 delta, would appreciate any advice and tips!

China: “Oh sure, we will slow walk talks with you!” Also China: quietly shifting U.S. imports like ag, oil to other countries, exports to SE Asia, EU, selling U.S. treasury bond holdings, buying gold reserves. If this admin slow walks negotiations too much, Chinas just gonna say yeah sorry I’m seeing someone else now

I am prioritizing SE Asia / ANZ for my 10+ horizon - ETFs as the taxes become difficult. An option is IBKR as they operate in Singapore - and might have access to non-US-listed stcoks (e.g. Irish listed which was interesting for the locals there for better withholding). Needs more work - US listed ETFs as the easiest way in

If they think they can command the same prices in SE Asia or Mexico, you and them are in a rude awakening. And if they are going to be “country of origin” washing, potential destruction of the goods are coming.

recneps1991

Yeah they’re going to SE Asia and Mexico to avoid the higher tariffs.

ErinG2021

Cautiously considering Calls on : RGTI, SE, & CSCO. No yolos. Still too volatile for that , IMO. Definitely not willing to take chance on: Tariffs, Chinese based companies, strong forward guidance based on strength of consumer, or need for interest rates to be lowered soon 👀.

I have a start up company in Thailand using big data and A.I. to create new revenue streams for farming communities, and eradicate the pm2.5 problem that is caused through crop burning that plagues SE Asia, and Asia in general. We currently have a crowdfund campaign and are also looking for pre seed investment. It seems like the people on this thread may be interested in our project… www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/root-tra

Degen55555

Yes but in FL for example, you could be paying 6 figure to hire 1 single maid. In SE Asia, you could have a whole football team.

Keep going, $100k to $10M and you can retire in Thailand or whatever SE asian country for the next 100yrs.

Chogo82

It’s getting backdoored. Trump is going to hear this news and put more tariffs on SE countries tomorrow.

tolerable_fine

China's numbers are whatever the central gov says they are. The US market isn't replaced by SE markets just like that. The difference in pupulation and income per capita just make it impossible.

AffectionateSink9445

I just saw this on WSB. My reaction was 50% on China and 25% on other SE Asia countries is still pretty crazy. I mean it’s good to decrease but idk. Feels like all this chaos that still results in higher tariffs will be unsustainable. I just fail to see how massive price increases due to tariffs don’t lead to negative economic effects 

legedu

I didn't say that. You said Trump/US needs China, not the other way around. I dispute that fully. China has an insane demographics problem, [worse than Korea or Japan](https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/chinese-population-smaller-than-stated-and-shrinking-fast-by-yi-fuxian-2022-07). China exports a TON to the US. Not just that, China has [disguised](https://www.newsweek.com/china-us-tariff-dodging-transshipment-trump-2068086) the source of goods to avoid the original tariffs since at least April 2018. Tariffs on other SE Asian nations will greatly affect their overall economy. The Chinese people still haven't recovered from their real estate prices being eviscerated during COVID and the Evergrande debacle, and JUST residential real estate makes up over [70%](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4589866/#:~:text=Financial%20assets%20accounted%20for%20only,(J%C3%A4ntti%20and%20Sierminska%202008).) of household wealth. Any hit to non-real estate related commerce is a huge issue for China, which is probably why they're doing everything they can to find ways [to lend more money](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/07/china-to-cut-key-lending-rates-by-10-points-bank-reserve-requirement-ratio-by-50-points-.html).

youreaditfirst

SE to $185 after earnings next week. 10-20x play

RotundFisherman

Naive. If India and Pakistan break out into a full blown regional nuclear war, you’re talking about hundreds of millions of people dead instantly. The resulting smoke, fire storms and fallout would probably impact billions, potentially China and SE Asia depending on a number of factors. Widespread famine, mass global refugee crisis. The impact on the global economy even if the crisis was contained to those two countries would be significant. If your only takeaway is that Apple stock would go down because their facility in India is destroyed, that’s very short sighted.

If it spreads I'm out of here. Obviously. Do not hit SE ASIAN COUNTRIES AT ALL COSTS. You dumb azzholes.

Tiny-Pomegranate7662

The reason I'm not cash is because the crisis is only a US one. Yes other countries will be whipsawed by our actions, but in a sense our loss is their gain. If we aren't using oil cause we recessed, that means cheap oil for places like Malaysia and things like that. I'm up like 18% YTD being basically entirely international. I think Europe is probably well priced in with increases but places like Brazil, South Africa, SE Asia are still cheap!

m0rgoth666

Not entirely sure but I think a lot of foreign companies are opening offices/franchises in Spain. Some of my friends just landed 70k to 90k jobs in Madrid which to me was a bit unheard of until now unless you worked as a SE at Amazon or something.

Yeah, in the end people either can’t afford kids or are wealthy enough to prefer to pursue individualistic goals rather than having a family. Immigrants won’t behave much different than natives in the end. (even SE Asian birth rates have nose dived)

And the app is genuinely unusable to me. It’s a great app, but it requires your **exact location**, and not just while using the app (I’d be fine with that). They demanded I switch it to “at all times” instead of “while using the app”. iPhone SE

Antique-Resort6160

Yes, they're doing whatever they can to look tough, which isn't much.  Their diplomacy blitz to pick up trade allies failed.  Not surprising after they have been bullying everyone on trade and the south China sea, why would anyone lift a finger to help China when they can negotiate their own deals with the US? Japan will work with China for now, but they're in a worse spot than China, not sure how that will unfold. It's funny how different the news here in SE Asia is.  US news and political opposition in the US are basically parroting Chinese propaganda, the US is stupid and weak, and China is strong under the infallible leadership of dictator Xi, their victory is inevitable!  Here people are wondering if Xi will be overthrown, if the Chinese economy will collapse, there's no jobs for new grads, deflation taking hold, real estate collapse accelerating, get your money out of Chinese business,  etc.   China just dumped 1 million ounces of gold, a bizarre move that has people speculating even more.  It's hard to know what's going on, but it's generally seen as not good.

I had to go to McDonalds on the drive from CO to CA a few months back. It was the only thing open that early. I haven't gone in like 15+ years. I was amazed by: 1. how automated it was 2. how unimpressive the food was. The US is now The Bad Place... I was living in SE Asia and it's 100x better to live there frankly. The only downside is the pollution, frankly. The US has amazing air quality.

Exactly, you don’t need to get an iPhone released in the latest year… The IPhone 10x is still fully supported and same with the iPhone SE. Both of which can be purchased for 100-150.

I think apple has the long standing issue of their product line being not attractive anymore. People are totally happy with owning a 13 or even a 12. You don’t need to get a 16 or the new SE. Apple Vision was a flop. Plus tariffs still overhang at apple. Apple AI was disappointing. I think apple might miss biggly. Will it go down? Prolly not. Ape sees cheap apple and presses buy

AgencyAccomplished84

>naturally cutting down on sweatshop and salve labor and all these self identified progressives turn Candie Land real fast. okay, but if you actually look into this, china has taken up a lot of the bulk, cheap purchases from SE Asia that the tariffs targeted (ie, minimal reduction in demand) and if you watch Fox for 10 seconds you would notice the current leadership actually wants americans to go back to being the sweatshop laborers. no reduction in overseas sweat labor + rise in american sweat labor = more sweat labor overall which sucks lmfao

willkydd

I would agree it was a bad approach. Whoever design the approach must have been hoping to get a lot of countries by surprise, make them panic and agree asap to US requirements to isolate China. That didn't work as the pushback was too co-ordinated and China's trade is too far reching to be easily forgone by US allies. Good strategy, but at least a decade too late and impossible to implement with 4-year mandates. Next on the list of possible ways to cut China down to size are direct war, but I think it's too late for that, too. And finally what I fear will probably be the 'winner' strategy - stir up some sort of ethnic tensions in SE Asia to drag China into a major local war. Hello India and Pakistan.

WickedSensitiveCrew

Yea loaded the boat on MELI and SE when I learned they weren't going to be effected by the US tariffs yet tanked on that news.

vanrysss

The US - China tariff war is going to have bad effects on the US economy and no deal seems to be coming any time soon. Recession is coming, put your shekels into gold and SE Asia. Vietnam etc stand to benefit as manufacturing is already moving there anyway, this will just accelerate it. I think we're in a fake pump before shit really hits the fan. I'd rather lose out on some gains by sitting out than be long anything American right now.

SamsonAtReddit

I'm not pro China at all. After all I have to live with this mess here in US. So it personally sucks for me and fam. But if I was a leader in China, there is zero chance I back down now. There will never ever (I hope) be another opportunity to go around SE Asia, Europe, Canada, South America and say look what analysts are saying. You may not like us, you may mot trust us, but you really going to go back to US after they literally put all of your fiscal budgets through hell, and for what? This is the historic moment to capitalize on the US hurting all its partners. Again, gonna suck for me and everyone I know. But I don't see why a country would back down to this extortion.

chinese labor is cheap, but it is no longer *as* cheap as it used to be. I had a business partner from china and according to her, between the corruption and increasing costs, it was better in the future to move to SE asia.

It’s only fun if you have $20k to blow over a weekend. But young people who do have that kind of money to blow on a 5 day vacation aren’t doing it in fucking Vegas or even the US for that matter. Live like an emperor for a week in SE Asia/parts of Europe or…mildly nice long weekend in Vegas. Duh.

dyslexic-alien

Eh, virtually all “good” people did this. Trump visited Epstein island along with Clinton, Gates, other American and European elite. Christian’s and Muslims did this for thousands of years too, and it was common for older males to have sex and reproduce with pre teens. American tourist go to SE Asia for sex with minors too so at this point, calling someone a sex pervert is a bit moot

CryptoChartz

You guys think if this tariff situation actually leads to chinas financial crisis with production businesses shifting to other SE Asian countries people will give big Donnie credit?

goodbodha

you should watch the entire interview and not the edited version. He rambles, but its also pretty clear he is grasping at straws. The tariffs are only going down from here. My guess is that we are under 3 weeks from several deals being announced and a further lowering of tariffs against most of our trading partners. China probably won't get lowered back to business as usual levels, but it will likely get lowered a bit. If Trump gets a deal in principle with India and announces that Vietnam is getting some easing of tariffs I think that alone will deal with a lot of the angst about China. If Trump reduces tariffs on China against specific goods that aren't going to be made in India or Vietnam that would help a lot. Toss in some sort of deal with South Korea to cover a bit of the rest and its likely most of the shortfall will be addressed. Imagine for a minute if Vietnam sticks to shoes and clothing. India picks up a bunch of the knick knack stuff and South Korea picks up the large industrial stuff (think ships, cranes etc.). China might get left with ceramics, solar, batteries, and probably through this xmas season toys. Trump could then drop tariffs on China for those categories and leave them relatively high on a bunch of other stuff to reach an average that is still high, but not as painful. India could get a major shot in the arm for gdp and they will likely be an ally if we go to war with China one day. End of the day I suspect the bringing back manufacturing part of his platform will disappear. He will still keep leaning on the anti China stance though and he will then spend a year talking about how great the deals are that he reached with India, South Korea, SE Asia, and probably Japan. Will those deals really move the needle? Probably not by much, but thats politics for you.

Florida is going to shit the bed and the SE & sunbelt will take some hits. But it seems like most areas won’t experience any significant drop unless we somehow end up in a full blown stagflation recession.

Uh. Thiss been a problem for years.  The mineral is abundant. Just the refining process is terribly toxic.  They tried to build some refiner in SE Asia but that went no where either.  

95Daphne

It was just fine for me and for most other than the year of inflation that was at its worst in 40 years lmfao. I will make an admission though, although part of it should be listened to. My upbringing was by two nerds who were NOT in protectionist jobs when they worked in the SE US, and although I do have a living grandparent who had a job in a protectionist field for a very long time, even she never had any interest in her kids or grandkids working in it. Cultural conservatism can be popular in the SE, but what is NOT popular is protectionism outside of West Virginia and if things don’t really blow up here, the last general election in the US that will have a protectionist focus will be 2028. And yes, sorry, arguing for protectionist and you do not need X, Y, and Z is political.

caocaothedeciever

The Yen is Japanese. Most nations in SE Asia excluding the Phillipines and including even Vietnam do more business with China and will do so with the YUAN if convenient. Here in Thailand we work with the YUAN (or RMB if you still get confused) and the dollar. Rarely with the Euro, except to deal with European tourists. Yes, the Euro is important, but not THAT important globally.

You've never been to SE Asia have you?

Precursor: I am moving out from SAP SE and can take some stocks with me, except the RSUs. The other Stocks - are around 39, would give me around 10k EUR cash now.

I have $1000 to add to my portfolio and I also lowkey know absolutely nothing. I was going to sell QQQ once it wouldn’t be at a loss but I don’t know if I had a good reason for that. I’m 20 in SE US but I want to move further north in the next 5 years and maybe out of the country long term. Full time college student (junior). Income is basically whatever I can scrap together because I don’t have any expenses my parents don’t cover at the moment since they will pay for groceries/gas/rent until I graduate and get a more permanent job (and they are also covering my student loans). Once I do I will probably make like 40-50K towards the beginning and maybe 70-80 later. My objective is pretty much to get things started/a solid base to be financially stable in the future. So eventually the house and retirement thing but right now I just want to figure things out. The money I have in there I don’t need and I plan to act as if it never existed and it’s not even an option to take it out. I will probably need some in like 10-15 years but I plan on leaving most of it in there as long as possible. I don’t care about risk at all but that’s probably because I don’t really understand it at all but like I don’t need this money right now so like wouldn’t it recover eventually?

Xi is gathering SE Asia and making new deals with Brazil (soybeans), Canada (oil), and EU. The USA is the losers here.

fumar

Yeah. If we just did a repeat of the China trade war during the first term, people were on board. But pissing all over Canada and Mexico, then pissing on our other allies while starting a trade war with the whole world with a sham "reciprocal tariff" calculation, really showed how stupid these people are.  If you want to absolutely crush China, at a minimum, you can't also slap a 50% tariff on Vietnam and other SE Asia countries at the same time. You need a carrot to go with your stick. Ideally you single out China and only China with tariffs, not single yourself out in global trade as an unstable maniac that changes everything on a day to day basis 

Jadenindubai

You absolutely cannot handle a 200%+ tariff if you import from China. Some will bankrupt, some will start laying off workers and the cost of goods will increase to keep the profits afloat. These things are yet to happen for businesses that stocked their goods before the tariffs. I reckon it will take a few months for people to feel it. On top of that we have the 10% universal tariffs, 25% steel and aluminum, and whatever bullshit % it was applied on panels coming from SE asia.

ImDaddy7

SAP SE pumping 10% after earnings lets go europooorsss

goodbodha

I wouldn't be so fast to assume that China is successfully moving on. They need a net importer for a trade partner. Right now they are making deals with a bunch of export nations. That may make good headlines, but it won't move the needle on gdp. Remember the belt and road initiative they did awhile back. Go look and see how that has played out. Currently China is the dominant export nation but it has a lot of competition. The US is the dominant import nation and has no competition as a top importer. I don't like how this is being done, but the position the US has isn't as weak as people seem to think. Without us importing from a country it's likely that country will drop to minimal GDP growth. China needs high GDP growth. If Trump wants to wrap this up they should go zero tariffs on Europe, Canada, Mexico, with minimal conditions. Then turn to SE Asia and Australia with similar terms. Plenty of export nations can benefit from this and China would likely come to the table or be left out. The big rub is that when cornered like that many countries will go to war. China needs an out. we should work a deal, but it should center on IP, tech, Taiwan, and perhaps shipping. Even then it shouldn't be to hobble them but to set things up so we can all avoid the paths that lead to war. Let Australia build the ships. Let Taiwan remain separate, and crack down on IP theft. Those would be reasonable goals.

AvocadoPurees

They actually complied and are getting more pain, just bullying the weak, SE Asia growth had stunted for sometime now and will get worse

Tariffs on panels coming from SE Asia

Prestigious-Cod-222

So a 3,500 % tariff on solar panels from SE Asia. Say embargo, just say embargo. "We are not allowing solar panels to be sold here that are not made here." Easy peasy.

AngelousSix66

You are right. What I meant to say is that solar coming from SG will also be tarrifed along with every other country in SE Asia.

threeriversbikeguy

Other stores may be different but I work at one of the bigger retail chains in America and we simply have no pending orders out of SE Asia or China right now. Theoretically we could run out stuff right now. Everyone is still banking on tariffs breaking once the hurt sets in, but again Trump doesn't have to run a reelection campaign.

throwawayainteasy

We're actually going back to "Oriental" now. I'm SE Asian and approve it as better than anything else.

amiracana

They won't care. Chinese people pride themselves on "Eating bitter" which is ingrained in them from young age. They also in general are willing to sacrifice for the greater good, unlike the US. They control all the supplies chains of damn near everything. Just can't make ASML machines... yet. And just to add to goodmorning's post, the best Chinese factories long ago moved to Vietnam, and SE Asia. The really good ones already are in Europe and America. Go to Italy and who do you think controls the textile industry. It's a specific people of China from Wenzhou. It's a sad truth that whatever Trump and his allies are doing, they are either intentional on ruining lives, or just don't really understand how connected these two countries are. Adding a little tariff here and there may have made some money, kept allies, and with other American subsidies or incentives, maybe brought back manufacturing to some industries. To think it's all gonna come back is absolutely the dumbest shit.

Primary-History-788

It’s a cult. Rationality is out the window. I know, first hand, how some normally intelligent people are so turned around, they can’t see outside of the narrative. When everything goes sideways, the right-wing, media machine will invent some scapegoat, so these fools won’t have to recon with their entire world view was a lie, perpetrated against them, to work against their own interests. Instead, they will double down. And civility will further erode. We are working on pulling up stakes, getting f*** out, while the getting is still good. I just hope the housing market holds up long enough for us to take a decent chunk of change, with us to SE Asia. Good luck everyone. I hope you figure your way through this next phase of empire, unscathed. 🤞

buttfarts7

Global supply chains just got upended. The world will be fine. Europe, Australia, Japan, SE Asia, Canada and China are going to get through this together by collectively working to devalue the US dollar in unison, opening free trade between each other and icing the US out entirely. The world still has each other. America is alone with itself

toyboxer_XY

> How is china making people not place orders? They're not negotiating or attempting to reach a compromise, and instead are matching tariffs, leading to escalation. > You do realize this hurts china too right? A lot of foreign governments believe that appeasement will be worse. There's a lot of video of SE Asian government figures discussing this in terms of extortion, or as giving in to a playground bully - including traditional US allies like Japan.

throwawayainteasy

Because American rice is terrible? I eat a ton of rice. Most American rice is pretty garbage compared to most SE Asian options (there are some good sources, but they're pretty few and far between).

LePatriot

I am from South East Asia, and we just hosted Xi visit a few days ago. If Trump is waiting for a call from Xi, it will not happen, because Xi is currently on a business trip to convince SE Asian nations to strengthen their trade with China instead of suffering from idiotic tariff from the U.S.

chocolatepickledude

You lazy weirdos need to do better. "When compared to individuals associated with a right-wing ideology, individuals adhering to a left-wing ideology had 68% lower odds of engaging in violent (vs. non-violent) radical behavior (b = -1.15, SE = 0.13, odds ratio [OR] = 0.32, p < .001). On the other hand, the difference between individuals motivated by Islamist and right-wing causes was not significant (b = 0.05, SE = 0.14, OR = 1.05, p = .747). Expressed in terms of predicted probabilities, the probability of left-wing violent attack was 0.33, that of right-wing violent attack was 0.61, and that of Islamist violent attack was 0.62. These findings remained robust after we controlled for demographic variables (sex, age, education, minority status, immigration status), prior criminal experiences, military experience, and decade in which the perpetrator entered the database.

Agreed. "When compared to individuals associated with a right-wing ideology, individuals adhering to a left-wing ideology had 68% lower odds of engaging in violent (vs. non-violent) radical behavior (b = -1.15, SE = 0.13, odds ratio [OR] = 0.32, p < .001). On the other hand, the difference between individuals motivated by Islamist and right-wing causes was not significant (b = 0.05, SE = 0.14, OR = 1.05, p = .747). Expressed in terms of predicted probabilities, the probability of left-wing violent attack was 0.33, that of right-wing violent attack was 0.61, and that of Islamist violent attack was 0.62. These findings remained robust after we controlled for demographic variables (sex, age, education, minority status, immigration status), prior criminal experiences, military experience, and decade in which the perpetrator entered the database.
