Cooperation instead of confrontation

The risk of a unified ASEAN agreed to a common voice, the Chinese seem to have made an aggressive approach "to the sea, sand, rocks and sea bed" to identify and control prevent any attempt to solve problems through collective voice or application of law rather than through bilateral diplomacy.

Philippine President Aquino and Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah on Wednesday unanimously adopted a policy of "multilateral dialogue" between the claims in the South China Sea. Herminio Coloma, responsible for communication of Philippines President told reporters in Manila that the two leaders want all stakeholders "to participate in a multilateral dialogue." 'The basic objective is peace and stability in the region. So peaceful cooperation and dialogue. There are many parties involved and all are committed to sharing that goal, "Coloma said.

Coloma, in the Philippines delegation accompanying Mr. Aquino said the Sultan of Brunei, said: "The best way now is to have good relations with China," even if the parties are pursuing claims sovereignty.

My year has very different attitudes in the South China Sea dispute, at least in appearance

Statement by U.S. Assistant Secretary Campbell that the U.S. will work with China in Southeast Asia seem to get the approval of Beijing's statements rather than Clinton with his Japanese Seiji Maehara on the island and maritime issues in the past year.

The focus can now return to the U.S. in Asia last year as Northeast Asia, with the U.S. to promote issues Cheonan (Korea names warship that was sunk by a torpedo Seoul of Korea), the role arrangements at the conference schedule Shangri La and G-20.

We want to dispel any concerns that Southeast Asia that we see here is where the big competition that could cause instability and no help for our friends in Southeast Asia. - U.S. Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell. Photo: mbctv

China responded by upgrading its alliance with Pyongyang, especially with the existence of a declared security alliance U.S. - Korea, U.S. - Japan against China's policies, not anti-Korea. Viewpoints confrontation of President Lee has brought the U.S. into impasse.

America seems to have internalized the lessons from that failure, and lead a community to establish a multilateral long-term presence in Southeast Asia, rather than pursue a traditional approach and more confrontational. Southeast Asia strategy is more subdued style and air access to long-term survival than an unstable policy, aimed at North Korea, which is actually considered to be against China.

U.S. is performing the important changes in global policy in this period. And policies in Southeast Asia are near the center. Date 31 / 5, Mr. Campbell said in a speech that the U.S. focus will change from the Middle East and "Asia" to East Asia.

And in East Asia, according to Mr. Campbell, the focus would shift from Northeast Asia to Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia - the fabric of overlapping relationships

This year, the "pursuit" of the U.S. in the region are Indonesia, the current chairman of ASEAN and ASEAN chair the meeting in November. The conference would be brought Obama to Bali. America was quick to promote the revival of their relationship with Indonesia and see it as the core strategy of the United States in Southeast Asia. Assistant Secretary Campbell said Indonesia was "very important" in Southeast Asia and beyond, while emphasizing that the U.S. supports "all" countries.

For its part, Indonesia is ready to hold the responsibilities and opportunities of a populous country, a major Muslim region, where a turnover between India and the Pacific Ocean. Indonesia is also a Non-Aligned countries, the economic relationship with China is expanding ...

In Asia, affirming the inevitability of U.S. forces to protect the rich, well-equipped as South Korea and Japan from the threat North Korea less attractive than the ability to put air, naval U.S. troops in the small countries of ASEAN.

A major focus for U.S. troops in Southeast Asia will be the ability of humanitarian assistance to help the region deal with major disasters, the ASEAN countries to lead in the ability to monitor and patrol coastal to identify and minimize (if not prevent) the unwanted intruders.

For example, the Philippines, had complained about the two foreign fighter infiltration, but could not follow or identify the aircraft. Philippines Defense Minister Voltaire Gazmin even admit the military can not keep a superpower like China. But he also pointed out that the Philippines - a country with sovereignty - should at least have a credible force and significantly to ensure and maintain territorial integrity.

Chief of General Staff of the armed forces Eduardo Oban Jr. said the Philippine military is planning to set up a surveillance system in coastal waters west of the two to three years to monitor and protect the border maritime and natural resources of this country.

This move is similar to the story of Japan upgraded its capabilities to monitor the area from Okinawa to Senkakus. And U.S. Assistant Secretary Campbell on 31 / 5 also emphasizes that: "Increasing the ability of our friends and partners to play a role in the situation awareness related to their maritime sovereignty, focus on the ability of naval expeditionary forces and the Coast Guard to ensure peace and stability. "

In some cases, the "hardware" of the border can reduce the chance of conflict. Cases such as India and China pouring money, military infrastructure construction in border land disputes both sides. However, the need to look into that, whether the disputed South China Sea (especially the Spratly Islands) based on historical claims, but not convinced of the logical geography - have benefited from this approach or no.

Sure, "internationalize" the disputed South China Sea will provide a roadmap for easier, less costly for the U.S. when it became involved in the planning of Southeast Asian politics.

However, recent developments show that China's decision to show their strength to prove that, would be detrimental if not impossible for the U.S. view as a dialogue.

In any case, the current approach a welcome from Northeast Asian strategic confrontation and instability. If America can influence to Southeast Asia like a sheet of overlapping relationship, with China's economic fiber, yarn and U.S. diplomatic security and foreign policy then they will be subtle, intelligent and almost unnecessary to say that, it completely different from existing policy in the past decade, even in the past year.
