Southeast Asian Nations Watch Paris for Deal to Cut Greenhouse Gases

By Murray Hiebert (@MurrayHiebert1), Senior Fellow and Deputy Director, Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

December 3, 2015

Much of the focus at the Paris climate summit that began on November 30 will be on the delegations from the United States, China, and India, and the pledges of the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters to limit emissions, protect forests, and launch rigorous renewable energy projects. Countries in Southeast Asia, several of which are among the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change, are watching closely to see if the nearly 200 participating countries put forward action plans robust enough to pull the world away from its trajectory toward perilous levels of global warming.

A Freedom of Navigation Primer for the Spratly Islands

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Lassen passed through the Spratly Islands on October 26 in the first freedom of navigation operation (FONOP) in the area since 2012. The operation included sailing within 12 nautical miles of Subi Reef, a feature that was previously submerged at high-tide and on which China constructed an artificial island over the last two years. The Lassen was asserting that, as a low-tide elevation and not a legal rock or island, Subi Reef is not entitled to a 12-nautical-mile territorial sea. The ship also passed within 12 nautical miles of features occupied by the Philippines and Vietnam. Tiếp tục đọc “CSIS: AMTI Brief – November 2, 2015” →

Seizing the Moment: Preparing for Obama’s Trip to Manila

By Ernest Z. Bower (@BowerCSIS), Senior Adviser and Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), and Conor Cronin, Research Associate, CSIS

October 29, 2015

For the first time in anyone’s memory, foreign policy and national security are poised to figure as major issues in the Philippine presidential election, scheduled for May 2016. Recent polls show Filipinos are worried about China and its aggressive stance in the South China Sea. They also fear that economic dependence on China could be leveraged to force concessions on the Philippines’ sovereignty. These are not unreasonable views, given that Chinese vessels now occupy Scarborough Shoal, just 140 miles from the Philippines’ northern Luzon Island, and that China’s nine-dash line nearly intersects with the Philippines’ Palawan Province. Filipinos are demanding that their leadership establish a credible defense posture for the country. Tiếp tục đọc “CSIS: Southeast Asia from Scott Circle – Oct 29, 2015” →

For the first time since Vietnam opened up to the world in the late 1980s, the country’s trajectory could shape the future geopolitics of Southeast Asia in significant ways. What that trajectory ought to look like has been a topic of intense discussions among Vietnamese leaders in recent months, as Vietnam gears up for the twelfth Communist Party Congress, expected to take place in early 2016.

ASEAN can survive great-power rivalry in Asia

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này
4 October 2015
Author: Amitav Acharya, American University
Eastasiaforum – Pundits and policymakers increasingly see changing great-power politics in Asia as a challenge to ASEAN. China’s growing military assertiveness in the South China Sea, the US ‘rebalancing’ strategy, Japan’s moves to reinterpret its constitution, and India’s growing military presence and assertive diplomacy all press upon ASEAN’s choices in the region.A satellite image, issued by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) think tank, showing an airstrip under construction at Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands. (Photo: AFP)Some argue that ASEAN is both toothless and clueless in responding to these changes. Seen as ‘talk shops’, ASEAN’s regional institutions — the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), ASEAN+3, ASEAN+6 and the East Asian Summit (EAS) — might have been sufficient when great-power relations were less volatile right after the Cold War, but they have outlived their usefulness. ‘ASEAN centrality’, and even its very survival, is being written off.

Washington Debut: A Strategic Jokowi?

By Ernest Z. Bower (@BowerCSIS), Senior Adviser and Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

Following recent trips to the United States by President Xi Jingping of China and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, the scene is set for Jokowi to seize the occasion to tell the world what Indonesia’s role will be and demonstrate his strategic thrust as a leader.

Xi in Washington: Outcomes Explained
Chinese president Xi Jinping landed in Seattle on September 22 for a weeklong trip to the United States that included his first state visit to Washington and an address to the United Nations in New York. In a joint press conference with President Barack Obama following a meeting at the White House, the Chinese leader raised eyebrows by insisting that Beijing does not intend to militarize the features it has artificially built up in the South China Sea. The two presidents also made announcements on cybersecurity and climate change cooperation, along with finalizing annexes to two military agreements. Observers were left with quite divergent views of the visit. Depending on one’s perspective, Xi’s trip was disappointingly heavy on symbolism and short on substance, or it surprised with important if nascent steps to reduce bilateral tensions and seek areas of cooperation.

‘Chó sói’ Huawei và nguy cơ cho an ninh viễn thông Việt Nam – 5 kỳ

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ 1 bình luận

30/01/2015 10:51

(TNO) Trong khoảng 10 năm qua, Huawei, tập đoàn sản xuất thiết bị viễn thông hàng đầu của Trung Quốc đã bành trướng từ thị trường nội địa trở thành một thế lực toàn cầu dưới sự hậu thuẫn đắc lực của chính phủ Trung Quốc. Đây là điều không chỉ gây lo sợ cho các đối thủ sừng sỏ trên thương trường mà còn làm nhiều quốc gia quan ngại về những nguy cơ an ninh tiềm ẩn đối với mạng viễn thông toàn cầu.

Nhiều cáo buộc cho rằng Huawei (cùng ZTE, một tập đoàn thiết bị viễn thông lớn khác của Trung Quốc) chính là những cánh tay nối tay của chính quyền và quân đội Trung Quốc nhằm theo dõi, đánh cắp thông tin trên toàn thế giới. Các thiết bị của Huawei, ZTE thậm chí còn được cho rằng có thể cho phép Trung Quốc can thiệp thậm chí vô hiệu hóa hệ thống viễn thông, của một quốc gia nào đó trong trường hợp xảy ra xung đột.

Southeast Asia’s Real Security Concern

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

By Zachary Abuza

A drought in the middle of monsoon season brought on by the El Niño effect has affected farmers across Southeast Asia, hampering economic growth and exacerbating political tensions between urban elites and farmers. Though rains have recently begun, reservoirs are at such low levels that they will not be refilled in a shortened season with average rainfall. A record level of paddy has gone unplanted, and where the fall crop has been planted, seedlings have withered in parched paddy. Tiếp tục đọc “Southeast Asia’s Real Security Concern” →
