The People’s Republic of China -ASEAN Political and Security Relationship (2003-2021): A Review and Prospects
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
This article summarizes and analyzes the major achievements of ASEAN - the People’s Republic of China (PRC) political and security collaboration in two major phases: from the establishment of Strategic Partnership to the 2016 ASEAN-China Summit on political and security affairs (2003-2015) and from that Communique to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership achievement (2016-2021). A qualitative design is adopted and therefore, a wealth of information from the official ASEAN website and previous literature was collected in tune with an evolutionary approach to analyze the achievements and prospects of this relationship. From 2003 to 2015, ASEAN and the PRC took initial steps and gained mutual understanding in dealing with territorial disputes and emergent problems of non-traditional security affairs. As soon as the 2016 Joint Communique on deeper engagement of political and security affairs while seeing the involvement of the US and other major powers, ASEAN and PRC appeared intimate and honest to reinforce the bilateral relationships and restrain territorial disputes and other discords on this issue. The main argument of this research project is that ASEAN and PRC have interests in regional traditional and non-traditional political and security affairs and strived to achieve a peace-based dialogue mechanism with China to deal with regional affairs in an effective way. Contrastingly, Beijing did not affirmatively resolve existing problems, which are not directly affiliated with PRC strategies abroad. Beijing was unready to make a major concession in key issues, including South China Sea disputes. When giving an insightful perspective, I argue that ASEAN would maintain its extant forums to critically converse with the PRC in potential dispute settlement and achieve a higher level of Beijing’s economic connectivity. Meanwhile, an effort in Beijing to separate ASEAN monolithic as well as the strategic presence of other partners would be challenged, which requires Beijing to diminish its hostility and imprudence in its relationship with ASEAN.
