Summary/Abstract |
The recent trends of regionalism in the Asia-Pacific region in perspective of the ASEAN+3+3 (Association of South East Asian Nations+China, Japan and Korea+Australia, New Zealand and India), officially known as the East Asia Summit (EAS), are important for international relations. Especially, China’s growing role and influence in this ASEAN centric new international order have attracted scholars of international relations substantially. China responded to the structural changes in East Asia, managed to transform its policies for the region in the mid-1990s and began to engage more actively than before in multilateral frameworks. The involvement of United States (US) in the regionalism has furthered a new political and strategic facet. Particularly, with this engagement, the US has made a big policy shift in the region. Taking into account of this policy shift of the two great powers, US and China, the paper mainly addresses two specific questions. First, what are the invisible dynamics of EAS politics after the US involvement? Second, how are the inside rudiments of security, political and strategic connotation in this regionalism after the US engagement? The paper aims to explain significance of recent trends of EAS centric regional competition and a deeper understanding of the increasing security, political and strategic nuances of the Asia- Pacific regionalism. The paper argues that ASEAN is inviting both powers to compete with each other through its balancing role. In the name of regional grouping, a regional security competition has been started under the umbrella of EAS.

Summary/Abstract |
This analysis observes that in 2020 China is a global power with global ambitions and a near-global presence. Terms
such as “G2,” “global stakeholder,” “strategic competitor,”
and “hegemonic candidate” no longer ring hollow as they
did ten years ago. However, it is unclear whether China’s
challenge to the United States will be sustainable in the medium to long run. The essay considers five hurdles in Beijing’s
path to a “responsible great power”—assuming that China
does hope to be one. Certainly, the world does not wish to
see the emergence of an irresponsible China.

Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes the change in policy discourse of the
Trump administration and its destructive effects on US-China
relations. It begins with a retrospective look at the China
policies of two prior US administrations, those of President
George W. Bush and President Barack Obama, in order to
show just how significant the shift is. Following the review
are analyses of the new policy discourse on China and how
China has responded to it, especially in the context of the
coronavirus pandemic. The last section of this article discusses a popular theme in recent academic circles: Is a new Cold
War inevitable?
