China's economic ties with Southeast Asia and Turkey face textile competition

Several business and trade developments show China's economic relationships across Asia. TikTok is investing heavily in Thailand, while Chinese companies are making deals for aircraft in Singapore and discussing train project debt with Indonesia.

Separately, Turkey's textile industry is struggling to compete with exports from China and Bangladesh. At the same time, the Philippines says its position as a top pineapple exporter is supported by trade with China.
