2012-11-23 — When Air Force One touched down in Cambodia this week,
Barack Obama became the first US president to visit the country. But
during his trip, part of a US attempt to “rebalance” towards Asia, Mr
Obama bumped up against a rival power.
From the wall of the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh hung a large green
banner with the words “Long live the People’s Republic of China”.
Inside the building, the US president lectured the Cambodian Prime
Minister Hun Sen on human rights in a meeting aides called “tense”.
The power play between Beijing and Washington – which has dominated
the region since the second world war – underlines how China’s rise
and US attempts to balance it have drawn new dividing lines in Asia.
The US has been willing to look beyond human rights abuse in Myanmar
and Vietnam to encourage closer ties with Washington as the countries
turn away from Beijing.
At this week’s East Asia Summit – an annual meeting of 18 Asian and
Pacific leaders – moves by Beijing and Washington to solidify existing
alliances and win new friends continued to drive a wedge into the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Cambodia, which has this year’s rotating Asean chairmanship, initially
claimed the group had agreed not to discuss the South China Sea
territorial disputes that several of its members have with China with
“outsiders”, such as the US and Japan. But that triggered a backlash
from the Philippines and Vietnam.
“Many observers are asking whether we’re moving towards a new cold war
in Asia,” says Yuan Peng, an expert on US-China relations at the China
Institute for Contemporary International Relations, a government think-
tank. “I am cautiously optimistic that will not happen, but the
challenge is to deal with the competing interests between China and
the US in Asia.”
A series of maritime stand-offs between China and Japan, Vietnam and
the Philippines over the past couple of years has made some southeast
Asian nations nervous about China’s intentions and eager to improve
relations with the US.
“Chinese assertion has backfired,” says Andrew Carr, an expert on Asia-
Pacific security at the Australian National University in Canberra.
Both Myanmar and Vietnam, which have traditionally had strong, if
often complicated ties to China, have worked hard to rebuild their
much more fraught relationships with the US.
Many analysts argue that fear about their growing economic and
political reliance on Beijing was an important factor in pushing
Myanmar’s military leaders to embark on the reforms that prompted Mr
Obama to visit the country on Monday.
China is trying to counter with the allure of its own fast-growing
economy. A major aid donor, Beijing has weighed on Cambodia to do its
bidding.
