    China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States

    Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

    The Khyber Pass the Khyber Pass Is a Narrow, Steep-Sided Pass That Connects Northern Pakistan with Afghanistan

    Name ___________________ Date ____ Class _____ Physical Geography of South Asia DiHerentiated Instrudion The Khyber Pass The Khyber Pass is a narrow, steep-sided pass that connects northern Pakistan with Afghanistan. (A pass is a lower point that allows easier access through a mountain range.) The Khyber Pass winds for about 30 miles (48 km) through the Safed Koh Mountains, which are part of the Hindu Kush range on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Roads through the pass link the cities of Peshawar, Pakistan, . and Kabul, Afghanistan. Because of its strategic location, the Khyber Pass has been a vital trade-and invasion-route from Central Asia to South Asia for centuries. About 326 B.C., Alexander the Great moved his troops through the pass on the way to India. British and Indian forces used it as an entry point for their invasions of Afghanistan during the three Afghan Wars (the last occurring in 1919). Some historians have even theorized that the Aryan people originally migrated to India by going through the Khyber Pass. Today two highways snake through the Khyber Pass-one for vehicles and the other for traditional camel caravans. A railway line also winds through the pass. Recently, the Khyber Pass has been used by refugees from the Afghanistan civil war to get into Pakistan, and by arms dealers transporting weapons into Afghanistan. The people who live in the villages along the Khyber Pass are mainly ethnic Pashtuns. During the Afghan-Soviet War (1979-1989), Pashtuns were important members of the mujahideen. These are Islamic guerrilla groups that fought the Soviets during their takeover of Afghanistan.

    China's Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia

    USIP SENIOR STUDY GROUP FINAL REPORT China’s Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia DECEMBER 2020 | NO. 4 USIP Senior Study Group Report This report is the fourth in USIP’s Senior Study Group (SSG) series on China’s influence on conflicts around the world. It examines how Beijing’s growing presence is affecting political, economic, and security trends in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The bipartisan group was comprised of senior experts, former policymakers, and retired diplomats. They met six times by videoconference over the course of 2020 to examine how an array of issues—from military affairs to border disputes, trade and development, and cultural issues—come together to shape and be shaped by Chinese involvement. The group members drew from their deep individual experiences working in and advising the US government to generate a set of top-level findings and actionable policy recommen- dations. Unless otherwise sourced, all observations and conclusions are those of the SSG members.

  • Chapter 2 the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: Searching for Viable Socioeconomic and Environmental Options

    Chapter 2 the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: Searching for Viable Socioeconomic and Environmental Options

    Chapter 2 The Hindu Kush-Himalayas: Searching for Viable Socioeconomic and Environmental Options MAHESH BANSKOTA Deputy Director General ICIMOD, Kathmandu 2.1 Introduction The Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region has experienced both continental as well as cultural collisions between mainland Asia and the Indian sub-continent. It is one of the most diverse physical and cultural landscapes in the world. Within very short distances, components of almost all the principal ecosystems and a wide range of cultural systems of the world are found. In response to different environmental factors, each has also developed its own unique features. Yet, for all its biological and cultural diversity, it is among the least known of the world’s mountain systems. For centuries the only information coming out of these mountains was the experiences or impressions of a few travellers who were migrants, invaders, traders, or missionaries (Fürer-Haimendorf 1975; Hammerton 1984; Biddulph 1986). Mountain people themselves knew very little about each other. Barricaded by high mountains, swift rivers, and an array of dialects and customs, with the added impact of fierce competition for limited resources, they were also strangers to each other. The long history of isolation and conflicts in the region has made its inhabitants highly suspicious of outsiders and their motives. This is also experienced at times by central governments when they try to implement their development activities (Clarke 1987; Shrestha 1993; Bahuguna 1994). 57 Untitled-4 57 7/19/2007, 1:07 PM The traditional isolation of mountain areas is being increasingly broken by the wheels of technology, the increasing education of mountain people, and the expansion of modern commerce and communications.
  • Himalayan Glaciers

    Himalayan Glaciers

    Himalayan Glaciers Climate Change, Water Resources, and Water Security Scientific evidence shows that most glaciers in South Asia’s Hindu Kush Himalayan region are retreating, but the consequences for the region’s water supply are unclear, this report finds. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region is the location of several of Asia’s great river systems, which provide water for drinking, irrigation, and other uses for about 1.5 billion people. Recent studies show that at lower elevations, glacial retreat is unlikely to cause significant changes in water availability over the next several decades, but other factors, including groundwater depletion and increasing human water use, could have a greater impact. Higher elevation areas could experience altered water flow in some river basins if current rates of glacial retreat continue, but shifts in the location, intensity, and variability of rain and snow due to climate change will likely have a greater impact on regional water supplies. he Himalayan region, which Tcovers eight countries across Asia, is home to some of the world’s largest and most spectacular glaciers. The melt- water generated from these glaciers each summer supplements the rivers and streams of the region, including several of Asia’s great river systems such as the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra. Rising tempera- tures due to climate change are causing glaciers worldwide to Figure 1. Extending over 2000 kilometers across the Asian continent and including all shrink in volume and or part of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, and Pakistan, the mass, a phenomenon Hindu Kush Himalayan region is the source for many of Asia’s major river systems, known as glacial including the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra.

    The Glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region Technical Paper

    The Glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region Technical Paper The Glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region A summary of the science regarding glacier melt/ retreat in the Himalayan, Hindu Kush, Karakoram, Pamir, and Tien Shan mountain ranges 1 The Glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region Mt Everest with Khumbu glacier - Sharad Joshi NOTE Data and information on the glaciers in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region are sparse and often contradictory. They lack consistency, multi-temporal recording, field-validation, and peer review, and there is a particular lack of data for the higher elevation glaciers. The paper presented here was prepared by Dr Richard L Armstrong as part of a larger USAID report (see inside back cover). It is being published by ICIMOD in its full form (with some updates) as a contribution to the ongoing discussions on this highly popular and important topic. We hope that the extensive literature survey and references, as well as the comparative analysis and analytical discussion, will be a useful resource for our readers, particularly for those of you trying to critically assess and establish the actual status of the cryosphere in the high mountains of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region. We trust also that the publication will help our efforts to assess the actual and potential impacts of a changing climate on the snow and ice resources of the region. 2 The Glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region The Glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region A summary of the science regarding glacier melt/retreat in the Himalayan, Hindu Kush, Karakoram, Pamir, and Tien Shan mountain ranges Richard L.
