East Asia's cultural economies bridge political divides

Original: Opinion | East Asia’s cultural economies are bridging politics-driven divides

A South China Morning Post opinion piece argues that East Asia's cultural economies—spanning pop music, film, food and tourism—are building connections across the region despite persistent political tensions and diplomatic rifts. The author suggests cultural exchange is softening divides that politics has deepened, positioning culture as a channel for cooperation where governments struggle.

Why now: The opinion piece speaks to current interest in how soft power and cultural trade outlast regional political friction.
