      He genuinely didn’t speak about K-Pop for more than one sentence in the beginning of the video. The majority of the talk was about FinTech, Green Technology innovation and broader economic influence and thought leadership in social consciousness. Did you even watch the talk?

    I am hopeful lessons from the East can help with our growing need for collaboration. Things I miss here are:
    The role of the Asian diaspora in East West relationships.
    The changing lives of women in Asian business- references to family business and family unity were very interesting by skipping this factor.

    I’m an Asian but seeing someone speaking Asia propaganda is cringe af. If you don’t like the racists, you better not divide the world.

    Whenever I hear someone use the words ‘west’ and ‘Asia’ to describe the dichotomy and the contrasts between the style of political powers, I just cringe out and shut That dude. World is not just ‘West’ or ‘East’. Cmon man

    Frankly, what has given you the right to represent Asia? Just talk about India. Rather, it’s off topic but you should first improve your pronunciation. I don’t like those who put a burden on others with poor pronunciation.
