Ayanan has a long and rich history, but when facing severe challenges, it has failed to bring new confidence in the principles and core concepts it has given.The Vientiane Sendan Summit has once again exposed the long -term structural and systemic defects of Asia Gyeongan, as well as internal weaknesses, which hinders decades of progress, which is disappointing.
The division of the internal and united and collective determination of the internal division of Yajian allows other major powers to deal with individual member states instead of contacting the Asianianan as a whole.In the past, some mechanisms, such as the behavior of the behavior of the behavior (DOC) of the South China Sea and the process of promoting the Conduct (COC), are only regarded as a preventive framework for setting up behavioral specifications and guidelines.
These mechanisms depend on the goodwill and restraint of various countries, but they do not really solve the core problems, especially in compliance with international law and marine law, and ensuring that the actions do not cross the border.These laws are based on the rule of law and respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It aims to maintain peace and stability and should not be interpreted in accordance with the historical perspective or individual perspective.
Asiabean should deepen the connection with other important powers, especially India and Australia, and should not be limited to countries that rely on traditional trade, economic development and technology.The existing stable economy, trade, and personnel exchanges with Tokyo, Taipei and Seoul should also be strengthened to have a long -term impact in higher priority affairs and high -political fields.
The connection between defense and security with Seoul and Tokyo provides broad opportunities for consolidation. Tokyo's national security protection strategy and Japan -Australia mutual aid cooperation agreement provide more reliable defense and deterrence capabilities. This is with the rules -based orderDemocratic countries remain consistent and also provide important post -support for Asianan.
Structural and systemic restrictions
The traditional way of Ya'an has gradually lost the correlation, strength and leverage of negotiations, becoming increasingly irrelevant.It is necessary to strengthen internal unity and capabilities, need new strategic measures, get rid of the old model and limited political willingness, reduce the dependence on the main economic powers, and enhance the ability of trade and economic diversification.In addition, by attracting emerging powers including Russia and India as third parties, Asians can also increase reserve options for internal security and defense capabilities.
Inside Ya'an, especially between Manila and other countries, there are obvious differences in how to deal with China's actions, which weakens Asia's position when negotiating and dialogue with China.
Manila dissatisfied with Asia Gyeongan and some member states, and did not firmly support its position in handling the Chinese maritime police operation, which exacerbated the risk of confrontation.Other Asianan countries tend to continue to contact China through existing mechanisms to avoid high -intensity confrontation and the risk of revenge in other fields.
To solve the South China Sea dispute, it is also necessary to consider future potential claims and changes. We must not rely on the guidelines of behavior or the strategic hedging, balance or neutrality of Asia's meticulous strategic hedging, or neutral.The concept of changes in global power dynamics and the concept of comprehensive forces will change the balance of economic and military capabilities. The existing major economic and military powers may no longer maintain strong in the future.
If Ya Jian'an cannot get rid of the role of the "balancer", it will face the risk of marginalization.Asia's fine security must clarify its position, firmly maintain the rules -based international order, international law and marine law, and ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of various member states.Asian'an cannot only pay attention to trade and economic interests, but ignore regional stability, peace and international order, and protect the fragility of member states and respond to their concerns.
There is a deep -rooted economic and development gap in Ayana, weak security cohesion, and increasingly intensified military reserve competitions and security dilemma.The core gaps and structural and systemic defects are brought about to meet the strong regional political will to ensure that Asians maintain their influence in the future, avoid the traps of invalid security and economic providers, and play a greater play worldwide.effect.
New opportunities for reform
Malaysia is expected to continue to maintain strategic hedging and balance between two power groups, and will not risk the risk of economic and security.The concept of independence and neutrality of foreign policies is expected to allow Malaysia to continue with other emerging forces in the world, especially India, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America and Africa to strengthen cooperation, realize economic and trade diversification, strengthen supply chain and energy sourcesGrain safety and promote the "Friends Outsourcing" strategy.In addition, Malaysia will continue to strengthen defense and security reserve measures to deal with new threats.
Malaysia, as the new chairman of the Asianianan, provides a key strategic platform for leading regions and adopting a new method to solve the South China Sea conflict.
Maintenance -based order -based order
Code of behavior does not fundamentally solve disputes. It only provides behavioral specifications and has not made a final judgment on the jurisdiction.Therefore, Asianan must promote specific plans, maintain international law and marine law, and ensure sailing and flying over freedom.These are the basis of post -war international peace and order. Any attempt to change rules -based order is incompetent.
The international community and the United Nations will continue to support the positions and principles of Asianan.This provides a key platform for Asianan, transcending behavioral standards and other prevention conflict mechanisms, and enhanced its own ability without damage the formal relationship or connection with external powers.
Therefore, Asia's Simpan should be based on international law and the United Nations Charter to maintain sovereignty and enhance influence while not undermining existing relationships.
In the context of global autocraticism, defending the freedom of the Indo -Pacific region is to defend global freedom.
