Asian Godfathers

rather illuminating explanation of how the economic structure of SEA engenders certain business practices. where it falls flat: 1) argument seems shallow, missing detail and flattening the contexts of very diff countries, 2) suffers from its expat perspective that is at once sardonically derisive of on ground behaviours (those silly asians + weird insistance on calling lky harry?) while pushing a seemingly blind faith in what the home countries offer (see the take on hk in the conclusion)
