Abstract: Southeast Asia is a strategic region both in terms of geopolitics and geo-economics in the Asia-Pacific. While China considers this area a "backyard", a place that determines the success or failure of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the US considers it a key connection point of the Indian Ocean Vision. With the free and open Pacific, Southeast Asia once again becomes an "arena" of power competition between major powers, first of all between China and the US. The competition for influence in this region has been pushed up since the time of Donald Trump and continued to increase when Joe Biden became the US President.

So how can ASEAN and its member countries live peacefully and co-exist with big countries? That is the issue.
