- VIETNAMESE FOREIGN minister Pham Binh Minh said 2018 was a year of complex developments due to efforts to upset the status quo by building up and militarising various uninhabited rocks in disputed areas, which caused “serious concerns” that the East Sea would turn into a “flashpoint”. Vietnam said it will remain consistent in its policies regarding the South China Sea – which it refers to as East Sea – and seek to respect international law, especially UNCLOS 1982, as well as promote initiatives to maintain peace and stability in the area.

Description:
- The China tourism boom is fizzling, with China visitor arrivals easing across most Asean countries in late 2018, said Maybank Kim Eng economists in a Jan 14 report. With slowing growth, a weaker yuan and waning consumer confidence, the current tourist slowdown may persist for most of 2019, they added. Nonetheless, the long-term outlook for Asean tourism is bright, with China's low passport penetration leaving much room for growth; airport capacity ramping up in both China and the region; and Asean also diversifying in other tourist markets.
