ASIA news brief

Asia News Brief (ANB) is a bi-weekly compilation of news about Asia and US-Asia relations. Its easy-to-read format presents sources across the globe in six sections: Featured, Politics & Law, Business & Economics, Security & Defense, Society & Culture, Health & Environment, and Technology & Cyber. USAI started the ANB initiative in June 2015 as a part of its long-running Congressional delegations program - to expose delegates to international issues and non-Western views to prepare them for their trip.

The goal of the ANB is to create greater access to Asian resources for the public. The ANB is one way that the US-Asia Institute strives to help everyone broaden their understanding of international issues and close the cultural gap between Western and Asian societies.
