Euro Watch: Can EU & Chinese leaders address trade imbalances at EU-China summit 2023?

What does it take to protect wealth in a world where markets can swing overnight and geopolitical tensions can upend investment strategies? And when the next generation inherits not just assets but responsibility, are they truly ready?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Sujano Supianto, High Net Worth Financial Services Director, SJ Group to explore how HNW and UHNW families are rethinking wealth for volatile times, shifting from a focus on growth alone to strategies that prioritize resilience, optionality, and downside protection.

From forced 7am runs with your boss to the quiet reality of friendship in Singapore, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh break it all down on What's Trending.

We start in China, where “business running” is taking off in major cities. Office workers are now jogging with colleagues and even clients as a new way to bond, network and build trust. Supporters say it boosts productivity and cooperation. Critics say it blurs work-life boundaries.

Then, we bring the conversation home. A new study finds that 1 in 10 Singaporeans does not have any close friendships. And increasingly, some are even turning to AI chatbots for casual conversation or emotional support.

So what does all this say about how we connect today? Are work and personal boundaries eroding?
