60/40 Podcast: Trump’s tariffs in Asia, TSMC in the US, and more

Did you know that Asia accounts for 60% of the world’s population and 40% of the world’s economy? The brand-new 60/40 Podcast from Tech in Asia is here to provide unfiltered commentary, insights, and occasional speculation on what is really going on in Asia’s business and tech world.

Join co-hosts Prashanth Ranganathan, Peter Bithos, and Maria Li every two weeks to stay up to date on the top headlines from across the region.
