This security view fundamentally extends from Deng Xiaoping’s principle of ‘independent and initiative peaceful diplomacy’. Deng considered that the traditional security scheme has insufficient component. He proposes that the international community should establish a mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, cooperation as core concept for
the ' new security view '.
Various countries in the Southeast Asia worried about that China, Japan or India may fill in the power vacuum which America and Soviet Union leave after the Cold War and gradually either renew or expand arm forces. Meanwhile, these countries advocated a collective security concept and tried to build up mutual trust measures in the region. In 1967, the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) was established by five countries includes Malaysia. Nowadays the members have already expanded to ten nations. But there is multiple dispute issues in this region could cause tense situation turning into crisis: National contradiction, religious conflicts, democracy, human rights,
territories, territorial waters disputes and culture difference.
China’s strategic objective in the present stage to Southeast Asia nations is to obtain favorable strategic depth by: control the islands cooperation issue in the South China Sea, master the relation with ASEAN countries, and safeguards the security of its sea line of communications. In addition, in order to solve the strategic energy transportation matter, China confidently develop aircraft carrier and cooperates on the land routes with various Southeast Asia countries. These measures have already initiated uneasiness of the region and manipulate the
regional balance.
As the reality of the China's economic benefit needs and relation improvement with Southeast Asia countries, the Southeast Asia nations are progressively adjusting their strategy the toward China. In security consideration, Southeast Asia nations hope keeping U.S.A. power in the region to contend China, position China to fit into a cooperative conflict solving mechanism and force China promise regional security commitment. ASEAN consider China has a role of safeguard the regional economy stability, for that reason, they attempt to connect China in order to balance U.S.A. and European Union. Therefore, China and ASEAN members may result into conflicts on certain particular issues because of being unable to make concessions. But on concerning long term relationship, China and ASEAN would keep in cooperative status to
maintain the most benefit for both sides.
