Eco Money: Breaking barriers slowing impactful climate actions by Asian financial institutions

China has experienced a spate of violent attacks this year.

Earlier this month, a man ploughed a car into crowds at a sports complex in the southern city of Zhuhai, killing 35 and wounding 43. This attack follows a string of similar crimes as China struggles to revive economic growth, keep people employed and boost confidence.

These types of attacks are challenging Beijing’s proud reputation for public order and prompting online soul-searching about the state of society.

So what’s happening? What has become of a nation already struggling with inequality and escalating frustration?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Tan Dawn Wei, China Bureau Chief, The Straits Times.

The Big Story: Why China is seeing a surge in mass killing attacks in recent months

Singapore stocks traded lower this afternoon, as investors continued to digest the threat of Trump’s tariffs.

As at about noon time (12.01 pm), the Straits Times Index (STI) was down 0.3 per cent at 3,702.8 points after 421.2 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch, we have Singapore Post, after the national postal service provider said yesterday that it was in exclusive talks with a third party for a potential sale of its Australia business, while stating that no definitive deal has been reached. 

Elsewhere, from more on US President-elect Donald Trump’s move to choose tough-negotiating hawk and lawyer Jamieson Greer as his trade envoy, to CrowdStrike raising its annual revenue and profit forecasts – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Jeff Ng, Head of Asia Macro Strategy, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
