En Asie, Pékin veut affaiblir la puissance américaine et gagner une position dominante. Pour ce faire, et servir d'autres objectifs plus locaux, la Chine joue ses cartes économiques et militaires. Les réactions dans la région sont diverses, mais ne vont ni vers l'alignement sur Pékin, ni vers une franche opposition. Le paysage géopolitique régional est donc divers et quelque peu énigmatique, comme la nature même de la puissance chinoise : puissance régionale ou puissance globale en gestation ?

In Asia, Beijing wants to weaken America's power and occupy a more dominant position. In order to do so, as well as attain more local objectives, China is playing its economic and military cards. Reactions within the region are diverse, but go neither towards alignment with Beijing or towards outright opposition. The regional geopolitical landscape is diverse, and somewhat enigmatic, as is the nature of Chinese power: is it a regional power or a global power in the making? Adapted from the source document.

China's growth has brought important benefits to Southeast Asia. China's "new diplomacy" has accommodated many of the region's political concerns and its economic expansion has been an engine of growth for Southeast Asia. However, China's rise brings challenges as well. China's rapid naval build-up, more intensified disputes in the South China Sea, environmental problems and questions over China's ultimate goals create concerns in the region. Southeast Asia's strategy has been to accommodate China's rise while striving to maintain the American position in the region. Southeast Asia has been successful in this strategy, although this balance will be increasingly difficult as China's power increases. (CIJ/GIGA)
