Countries like South Korea, Japan, and China have played key roles in advancing technology, with companies from these regions becoming global leaders. 3. Demographic Influence: Asia has a large and growing population. The demographic trends in Asia, with a significant youth population, have implications for global workforce dynamics and consumer markets. 4. Political Influence: Some Asian countries, especially China, have increased their geopolitical influence on the global stage. The rise of Asia has led to shifts in international relations and diplomatic dynamics. 5.
