Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every week. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

After almost two years of a damaging trade war that has caused ripple effects across the globe, a phase one agreement between China and the United States is set to bring a truce, with commitments by China to buy significantly more US produce and products.

The Straits Times US Bureau Chief Nirmal Ghosh explores the implications for the region with his guests - The Straits Times associate editor Vikram Khanna and Curtis Chin, fellow at the Milken Institute Asia and former US ambassador to the Asian Development Bank.
