On 28 January 2026, GGI’s Head of AI Governance, Christopher Lamont, joined Focal Length on NewsX World India to discuss the shifting geopolitical landscape in Asia. In the interview, he explored the region’s changing balance of power, rising maritime tensions, and Japan’s evolving security posture in response to a more contested strategic environment. He also reflected on whether Asia is moving towards a China-centred order or a more multipolar future, the current state of China-Japan relations, and the fragile rapprochement between Japan and South Korea. The conversation further addressed ASEAN’s role in managing regional tensions, the deepening US-Japan-South Korea security triangle, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence on power, security, and diplomacy across Asia.
