  • Chapter 4 Vietnam and the South China Sea in the Post-Arbitral Award Period Do Thanh Hai & Nguyen Vu Tung
    61 Chapter 4 Vietnam and the South China Sea in the post-arbitral award period Do Thanh Hai & Nguyen Vu Tung Introduction The momentum created by the arbitration award of 12 July 2016 seems to be wane. Though winning the case, the Philippines under President Rodrigo Duterte deliberately shun away from making full use of the judges’ decisions to court China for improving bilateral relations. At the same time, ASEAN as a group became less active and cohesive on the consolidation of its position with regard to the South China Sea issue. These new developments seem to have left Vietnam to the forefront, facing increased pressure from China in the South China Sea. Despite the unfavourable ruling of the arbitral tribunal, China continues to cement its strategic footing through large-scale land reclamation and construction of dual-use facilities in the Paracels and Spratlys. Beijing changed its approach. While strengthening its foothold in the South China Sea, it gets more active in negotiating a code of conduct (COC) and promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. Amidst China’s new wave of charm offensive, the smaller South China Sea claimants, including Vietnam, have faced a dilemma of whether to acquiesce to China’s posture or stand up against it and suffer indefinable consequences. The paper focuses on the case of Vietnam as a South China Sea claimant in the post-arbitral award phrase. The paper is structured into three major parts. First, it assesses the situation in the South China Sea from the Vietnamese perspective, identifying challenges and risks emanating from a new strategic landscape.

  • Waiting for Zhu … by James J
    Japan-China Relations: Waiting for Zhu … by James J. Przystup, Institute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University Tokyo and Beijing worked to smooth the increasingly sharp political edges of their bilateral relationship this quarter in advance of PRC Premier Zhu Rongji’s October visit to Japan. Of particular concern to Tokyo were the activities of Chinese maritime research ships in areas that Japan defines as within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as well as the operations of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) navy ships in international waters off Japan. Within Japan’s ruling coalition and, in particular, within its dominant Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), these actions produced a backlash against the government’s proposed special yen loan package for China, resulting in Tokyo’s decision to postpone final consideration until after the Foreign Minister’s August 28-31 visit to China. Foreign Minister Kono’s visit was the diplomatic highpoint of the quarter. In Beijing, Kono met with President Jiang Zemin, Premier Zhu Rongji, and Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan. However, an understanding to provide Tokyo with advance notification of Chinese activities within the disputed EEZ, reached during the Kono visit, did not long outlive his departure from Beijing. The reappearance of a Chinese research ship set off another round of China bashing within the LDP, even as both governments met to negotiate procedures for mutual prior notification. History also remained very much alive. Contributing to the growing criticism of China within the LDP was Beijing’s cancellation of Transport Minister Morita Hajime’s visit to China. Although Beijing attributed the decision to scheduling difficulties, voices within the LDP attributed it to the Minister’s August 15 visit to the Yasukuni Shrine to Japan’s war dead.
