** US interaction and engagement challenges in the crackdown with the student protests in Myanmar; 

** US relationship with China and other countries in regards to Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB); 

** How and why is Vietnam included in TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) and not China, when China is closer to meeting the standards?

** What will be U.S. engagement in Myanmar to help make the 2015 elections to be free and fair?
