| Summary |
The Sino-Japanese relationship has incrementally become more competitive since the onset of the post-Cold War period. Both countries view each other as threats to each other and to the regional environment. The responses from both China and Japan have been to strengthen economic, military and diplomatic strategies. The competition is visible in several areas - military rivalry, territorial disputes, East Asian multilateralism, historical legacy and diplomatic strategies. Both countries have also strengthened their relations with the ASEAN institution and its member states in economic, political and military terms. The report examines the impact of the Sino-Japanese competitive relationship from a holistic perspective. It assesses the impact in three main areas: major power competition on specific bilateral relationships; maritime security; and regionalism and institutional-building. The reason for taking this approach is to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of probably the most important bilateral relationship in East Asia on ASEAN. The report concludes with a list of policy implications for ASEAN. With a better understanding of how ASEAN is affected by the Sino-Japanese relationship, we hope ASEAN will be better prepared in responding to related developments in arguably the most important bilateral relationship in East Asia in the short or mid-term future |
