US relations with Asean countries governed by China's influence in the region, expert says

CHENNAI: The relationship of the US with Asean countries is influenced to a large extent by China's growing authority and on whether this will indicate a demeaning of the US influence, according to a US expert on international relations, politics and regionalisms of Southeast and East Asia.

"The official US policy in the region is not about containing China, but there are concerns about the country's growing influence. If you put the different pieces of relationships in East Asia together, there is a concern over the rising Chinese influence," said Alice D Ba, director of the Asian Studies Programme at the University of Delaware, here on Thursday.

Ba was interacting with students and researchers of the University of Madras and other educational institutions after delivering a lecture on 'The US and East Asia's Transitioning System: The Significance of the Rebalance'. The lecture was part of a series organised by the department of politics and public administration of the University of Madras and the Centre for Asia Studies.

During her lecture, Ba said that the US policy for East Asia was based on strategic peace, diplomatic or institutional peace and economic peace. The policy did not evolve in one instance but was framed based on broader, macro systemic changes, she said. "It's not just about China, but also a response to regional changes in East Asia," she added.

Responding to a question from a student, Ba said, "We are increasingly moving towards a multipolar world order involving a lot of economics and not just military power. The economies of all countries are tied together now and cannot be ignored any more. Politics is much more complex today than 50 or 60 years ago."
