1. tensions of the South China Sea issue
maritime security is, including crackdown on crime that exceeds the pirates and border, such as terrorism measures, and of the conflict over the border on the waters relaxation, to respond to problems in a wide range of fields. Maritime security was one of the most important issues for the stability in East Asia of peace from the previous, in recent years, and that in particular they shake large East Asian international environment in conflict countries around the South China Sea territorial dispute is there. Conflict with tension around this problem is increasingly degree of tension than before. China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan, have made claims of sovereignty in the same waters in a manner that each accompanied by effective control of the part of the island and reef. In particular China, the South China Sea area enclosed large in nine-dotted line has been claimed to be its territory.
Moreover that currently particularly problematic, is dared large reclamation in Spratly Islands by the Chinese, is that the product has been the construction of military facilities. Asia Marine transparency initiative in the United States of Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) (Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative: AMTI) When is According to the announcement, which was carried out in May this year, landfill that China has been promoting is the estimated 900,000 square meters that. In addition, Vietnam not only in China but also I is said to have done the landfill. According to the AMTI, Vietnam also west London reef 65,000 square meters, 21,000 square meters of a sand reef, it is to have reclaimed a total of 86,000 square meters. However, in its scale, the difference between China is evident.
And this year October 27, the United States, the destroyer "Lassen" China of artificial islands and Vietnam and the Philippines was dared to "freedom of navigation strategy" that to sail within 12 nautical miles of reef that govern effective. The United States that China's artificial island waters not only of non-China dispute countries the Lassen was allowed to sail even near the reef that govern effective weakens the impression that the pair middle restraint, emphasize strategy the importance of "freedom of navigation" It was in order to show the position that is. However, if taking into account the size difference of the various activities at the landfill other of the South China Sea, the United States is the most vigilant, that there in China is obvious, China showed strong opposition to the strategy, "freedom of navigation" . Immediately after that held the ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting Plus (ADMM +), also a place of ASEAN summit meeting other ASEAN-related meetings were held in late November, the difference in the participating countries of conflict and position over the South China Sea issue in their place it is larger for defining the contents of the discussion. 2. During rice whether to determine all is whether the United States and China to any such behavior in the South China Sea, certainly the South China Sea issue and and it can not be denied to define large maritime security in this area. However, the two country alone establish hegemony in East Asia, including the South China Sea issue, the force which determines the security environment to their desired direction is more limited than is generally considered. First, therefore While in the US are each other to check with each other, it is difficult to reflect sufficiently reality claims of each country. In addition, China will certainly increase the economic strength, although military power also enhances, it is lacking in so-called soft power, opposition to China's increasing influence in neighboring countries also deep-rooted. Therefore, the relationship between China and neighboring countries is unstable. In addition, financial constraints are imposed on the commitment continued to the United States of Asia. If, if this two countries is critically conflict and around the other of conflict the South China Sea, and embarked in the form with the military power to either influence exclusion, become situation that armed conflict occurs, the other including the ASEAN countries The countries would not even if be. However, in the US it is unlikely that lead to such a decisive confrontation situation. when the United States has executed a strategy "freedom of navigation", even it was allowed to sail Lassen also within 12 nautical miles reef that effective control of non-Chinese countries, is because the United States is to avoid a decisive confrontation. Also, we were calling at Shanghai for this year in November the United States of vessels to perform a joint military training with the Chinese navy. The two countries I seen that to avoid the escalation of carefully conflict. On the contrary, "compromise" is established between the middle and the United States, for example the United States, even as a has become the de facto admit such a situation the territorial claims of China, and the influence on the issue of ASEAN countries It would would be subtracted. But this is, in particular part and of the ASEAN countries around the disputed countries, leading to a backlash from Japan facing a disagreement about the territorial dispute in the East China Sea. In addition, allowing the action that violates the clearly ocean international law, would significantly impair that the American soft power. In this way, decisive confrontation in the US, also the establishment of Sino-US compromise in such a way as to ignore the claims of other countries, are unlikely to achieve any of the scenarios. Under such circumstances, in fact, it is a trend of ASEAN countries that hold the key. If you look carefully, in the conflict over the South China Sea issue is intensifying, ASEAN countries, while strengthening the relationship between the medium rice, respectively, it is possible to balance keeping each the relationship between the two countries, their influence It has continued basically the strategy of ensuring. The Chinese continues to be reclaimed while receiving various criticisms is the fact. But this year in June, at a time when criticism of China is concentrated "landfill work was completed," it should be noted that it was trying to avoid a backlash as. Of course, actually it pointed out that not completed the reclamation of China have been made. If, however, intend to press ahead with the China landfill without having to worry about the international criticism at all, it would not have even such excuse. Therefore, the attitude of the United States and other countries opposed to merely the Chinese side of the action, China has a certain inhibitory effect on behavior that tries to unilaterally change the status quo. Without causing critically worsening relations with China, and also is not also follow completely in China, the South China Sea issue on it, claims armed non-exercise, peaceful resolution of disputes, the basic norms such as freedom of navigation continue it becomes an important strategy for moving the situation for ASEAN countries. 3. Continuation of ASEAN balance strategy appear to have been at the mercy of the great powers (mercy), ASEAN countries that have gained experience to survive by making full use of diplomacy in the Hazama is shrewd. ASEAN countries are working to strengthen relationships with both medium bay while watching the situation. Security relationship with the United States is deep was original ASEAN member countries from conventional five countries, are further strengthening of the relationship in recent years. For example, the United States and Indonesia, but military cooperation has been strengthened in Bali bombings since the 2002, the 2010 US incorporating the cooperation of the political and security fields Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership Agreement was signed. In 2015 it has agreed in further strengthening of defense cooperation between the Djoko new government and the United States. It enhanced the United States and from the point of view of even versus terrorism relationship with Malaysia, I have strengthened after it has been entered into the article services mutual agreement (ACSA) in May 2005, the defense cooperation in recent years further America. In May 2015 the South China Sea to the definitive joint military training in the US Malaysia was conducted. On the other hand, many of the ASEAN countries, since the 2000s, with China is promoting security cooperation. After the China ASEAN strategic partnership was signed in 2002, in the form that rely on this, individual security cooperation between the ASEAN countries and China the two countries has been progress. For example, Thailand, and China, has been allowed to develop security cooperation due to joint training and joint military exercises, mutual visits and educational exchanges of Inspirational exercises. Also Singapore and China, has been promoted cooperation with China and the start of the annual defense policy dialogue from January 2008. In addition, Indonesia and China, have entered into a strategic partnership in April 2005. China and even between Malaysia, it is already concluded a "Memorandum of Understanding on defense" in September 2005. In addition, China started to advocate of AIIB, is showing to neighboring countries the attitude to strengthen the infrastructure support. Infrastructure itself is not a security cooperation, it is widely understood and is also a means for achieving the "acceptance" of China's position on concerns of a wide range of fields it also contains. Vietnam among the ASEAN countries, and its geographical location, under the circumstances that faced a conflict with China over the South China Sea, interesting in that the United States also are taking the balance to strengthen cooperation with China. Vietnam and the United States has strengthened after the first US Vietnam defense dialogue and naval military exercise has been carried out in August 2010, the relationship with the United States. On the other hand, China and Vietnam conducted a defense consultation from 2005, it is allowed to develop cooperation and focus on the expansion of cooperation particularly in strengthening and non-traditional security field officials exchange. Last May, while Chuetsu is strained by oil drilling in China in the exclusive economic zone of Vietnam (EEZ), and also in that distrust is stronger for subsequent large-scale reclamation of China, the balance strategy of Vietnam is continued . For example, Carter US Defense Secretary in June this year, Kerry US Secretary of State visited Vietnam in August, also the first visit to the United States in Nguyen Huu Chung Communist Party General Secretary of Vietnam supreme leader this year in July , for example, by the consultations on the South China Sea issue, I was impressed the strengthening of the US Vietnam relations. However in November, Vietnam accepted the first visit by Xi Jinping Jintao. 習主seat met with Nguyen Huu Chung General Secretary and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, together with carrying out consultations on the South China Sea issue, it was agreed on economic cooperation between the Chuetsu. Philippines among the ASEAN countries, it seems to have strengthened against the US tilt. Indeed, the Philippines and the United States is in the already concluded a new military agreement that pillar deployment strengthening in the last year of the US military Philippines. In addition, President Obama to attend the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting to suit to Manila entering, it has been launched to support measures to strengthen marine security for the United States government faction Southeast Asian countries, supported by the most emphasis is placed its is the Philippines. However, for new military agreements, such as the former senator to sue this agreement as unconstitutional, it is not necessarily strengthen relations with the United States has been accepted to let go in the Philippines. In addition, the results of the presidential election, which is scheduled for next year in May, there is a possibility of return increases the future of diplomatic stance of the Philippines. Under the previous Arroyo administration, Philippines to try to strengthen the relationship with China rather, it should be recalled that the relationship between the US and were trying relativity. Meet in Between multiple powers, banner (carboxymethyl) clear to without is the, the relationship between each of the major powers it is possible to maintain a strengthened balance, the strategy to ensure their autonomy of ASEAN countries It is also a specialty. And to allow the maintenance of these strategies of ASEAN countries, and as mentioned above, the US decisive confrontation of the middle, also "compromise" between the United States China's establishment of hegemony by, it is low any possibility, each in the US is only one country, enough to establish the hegemony while eliminating the opponent is actually definitive in the area is due to the fact their influence is not foolproof. So to speak in not under circumstances such as major powers are dictated all of the local environment than the apparent trend of ASEAN countries will be largely the Arisama of security environment in the region. Possibility of building confidence in institutions around the 4.ASEAN Under these circumstances, how we should go to create a mechanism of confidence-building involved in maritime security. A possible one possibility, ARF and ADMM +, ASEAN Security Community (ASC) action planning system that institutional center of the ASEAN, such as officially launched the ASEAN Maritime Forum A (AMF) in 2010 based on the which is the advantage. The ARF is the Asia Pacific Ocean's first framework of political security dialogue and cooperation, which was established in 1994, it has been positioned as an important issue the cooperation of the maritime security field than before. In addition, ADMM Plus, the newly established ASEAN defense ministers meeting as an organization to advance the construction of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (ADMM), the United States is the major countries outside the region, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, New Zealand, in the form invite the Russian defense minister, it was launched in 2010. ADMM Plus is a system that "actors" for the South China Sea issue to be tense is everything. It held the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in early November this year (ASEAN) expanded defense ministers meeting in (ADMM Plus) third meeting
