   What durian reveals about the China-Vietnam border

   China has a huge appetite for durian and Vietnam wants a bigger bite of the market. But getting the fruit across the border is only part of the challenge. From winning over Chinese consumers to improving quality and speeding up customs, CNA's Otelli Edwards speaks with Shenzhen Correspondent Deborah Wong and Hanoi Correspondent Leong Wai Kit about what Vietnam is up against and why this durian boom tells a much bigger story about relationships and trade at the China-Vietnam border.

   Malaysia is dealing with two very different groups of foreigners - Chinese and Korean players squeezing local businesses on price, and tens of thousands of stateless Rohingya refugees it never recruited but has hosted for years. Now, as local resentment rises, and talk of repatriations to Myanmar increases, Arnold Gay asks CNA Senior Correspondent Melissa Goh how and where Malaysia is drawing the line.

   Trump-Xi summit: Did they both win?

   Donald Trump gave Xi Jinping a lavish welcome for their summit in Washington, but expectations of a major breakthrough were low even before the Chinese leader arrived. With both presidents facing pressures at home, how much of this meeting was about changing the US-China relationship and how much was about showing their own audiences who's holding the cards? Genevieve Woo speaks to correspondents Olivia Siong and Nick Harper to unpack what actually changed on trade, tech and Taiwan, and what the summit tells us about where the balance of power now lies.
