China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi threatened to put Asian countries in a situation like Ukraine. This statement of the Chinese Foreign Minister came during a program organized in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. ASEAN and East Asia summits are going to be held in Indonesia on September 7. His statement given just before the conference becomes important. Heads of state or other representatives of 18 countries including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US Vice President Kamala Harris will be present to participate in these conferences. The important thing is that Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has been missing from various international conferences, has sent his Prime Minister Li Qiang to Indonesia to participate.
There will be discussion regarding control over China in the presence of China
China, which threatens the world, may have to face a peculiar situation during the East Asia Summit. In the East Asia Summit being held in Jakarta, discussions will be held on curbing China's expansionist policies in the Indo-Pacific region and saving various countries from the clutches of the dragon. During that time Li Qiang will also be present in the summit. Apart from ten ASEAN countries, India, America, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, Japan and Russia are also participating in this meeting.
Most of the ASEAN countries believe that the time has come when China's baseless claims in the South China Sea should be set aside. It is expected that a joint declaration to rein in China will be issued during the ASEAN and East Asia Summit. Recently, China's aggressive stance is being linked to this.
Do or die for ASEAN countries
Most of the ASEAN countries are trapped under the influence of China. To counter China's aggressive attitude, these countries had tried to strengthen the ASEAN platform with the slogan of ASEAN Centrality but did not achieve much success. By strengthening relations with countries like India, America, Japan and Australia, ASEAN countries are adopting a new strategy to face the pressures from China.
ASEAN has given the status of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to its relations with India last year. Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei have rejected the Chinese map outright and asked China to behave responsibly. According to the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Shen Loong, now we have to work proactively, staying behind will not work, otherwise there is a danger of ASEAN becoming irrelevant. Experts believe that ASEAN is no longer left with the option of doing nothing.
