A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Pacific Forum CSIS Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations edited by Carl Baker Brad Glosserman September – December 2013 Vol. 15, No.3 January 2014 http://csis.org/program/comparative-connections Pacific Forum CSIS Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, the Pacific Forum CSIS operates as the autonomous Asia- Pacific arm of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1975, the thrust of the Forum’s work is to help develop cooperative policies in the Asia- Pacific region through debate and analyses undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic/business, and oceans policy issues. It collaborates with a network of more than 30 research institutes around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating its projects’ findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and publics throughout the region. An international Board of Governors guides the Pacific Forum’s work. The Forum is funded by grants from foundations, corporations, individuals, and governments, the latter providing a small percentage of the forum’s annual budget. The Forum’s studies are objective and nonpartisan and it does not engage in classified or proprietary work. Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Edited by Carl Baker and Brad Glosserman Volume 15, Number 3 September – December 2013 Honolulu, Hawaii January 2014 Comparative Connections A Triannual Electronic Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Bilateral relationships in East Asia have long been important to regional peace and stability, but in the post-Cold War environment, these relationships have taken on a new strategic rationale as countries pursue multiple ties, beyond those with the US, to realize complex political, economic, and security interests. How one set of bilateral interests affects a country’s other key relations is becoming more fluid and complex, and at the same time is becoming more central to the region’s overall strategic compass. Comparative Connections, Pacific Forum’s triannual electronic journal on East Asian bilateral relations edited by Carl Baker and Brad Glosserman, with Ralph A. Cossa serving as senior editor, was created in response to this unique environment. Comparative Connections provides timely and insightful analyses on key bilateral relationships in the region, including those involving the US. We regularly cover key bilateral relationships that are critical for the region. While we recognize the importance of other states in the region, our intention is to keep the core of the e-journal to a manageable and readable length. Because our project cannot give full attention to each of the relationships in Asia, coverage of US-Southeast Asia and China-Southeast Asia countries consists of a summary of individual bilateral relationships, and may shift focus from country to country as events warrant. Other bilateral relationships may be tracked periodically (such as various bilateral relationships with Australia, India, and Russia) as events dictate. Our Occasional Analyses also periodically cover functional areas of interest. Our aim is to inform and interpret the significant issues driving political, economic, and security affairs of the US and East Asian relations by an ongoing analysis of events in each key bilateral relationship. The reports, written by a variety of experts in Asian affairs, focus on political/security developments, but economic issues are also addressed. Each essay is accompanied by a chronology of significant events occurring between the states in question during the four-month period. A regional overview section places bilateral relationships in a broader context of regional relations. By providing value-added interpretative analyses, as well as factual accounts of key events, the e-journal illuminates patterns in Asian bilateral relations that may appear as isolated events and better defines the impact bilateral relationships have upon one another and on regional security. Comparative Connections: A Triannual Electronic Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations (print ISSN 1930-5370, online E-ISSN 1930-5389) is published three times annually (January, May, and September) at 1003 Bishop Street, Suite 1150, Honolulu, HI 96813. Table of Contents Regional Overview:………………………………………………………………………………1 Self-Inflicted Wounds by Ralph A. Cossa and Brad Glosserman, Pacific Forum CSIS 2013 ended with a series of self-inflicted wounds. President Obama, with a huge assist from the US Congress, reinforced apprehensions about the US commitment to the region by skipping both the East Asia Summit (EAS) and the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting. Setting an unreachable yearend goal to finalize the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was another in the series. So too was President Xi Jinping’s decision to announce China’s East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone. Not to be left out, Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo closed out the year by visiting Yasukuni Shrine, further alienating Beijing and Seoul while drawing a rare rebuke from Washington as well. How much this will impact his “go south” policy to build better relations with ASEAN remains unclear. North Korea’s regent Jang Song Thaek saw his career go to the dogs – at least figuratively – due to alleged greed and other criminal acts. Many fear that the prospect for Chinese-style reform in North Korea died with him. US-Japan Relations:…..………………………………………………………………………..15 Big Steps, Big Surprises by Michael J. Green, CSIS/Georgetown University, and Nicholas Szechenyi, CSIS Prime Minister Abe continued to focus on the economy but also introduced diplomatic and defense strategies as his first year in office came to a close. The US and Japanese governments participated in TPP trade negotiations and bilateral talks but could not resolve differences on agricultural liberalization and market access for automobiles. A meeting of the bilateral Security Consultative Committee set forth priorities for defense cooperation, and China’s announcement of its East China Sea ADIZ put bilateral coordination to the test. The governor of Okinawa approved a landfill permit for the Futenma Replacement Facility on Okinawa, establishing some momentum for the realignment of US forces there. Prime Minister Abe’s visit to Yasukuni Shrine disappointed the Obama administration and sparked major debate in the US, but was not expected to upend bilateral diplomacy. iii US-China Relations:……..……………………………………………………………………..23 Biden Visits China amid ADIZ Fracas by Bonnie Glaser, CSIS/Pacific Forum and Jacqueline Vitello, CSIS Bilateral interactions in the final months of 2013 were characteristically active. Secretary of State John Kerry attended the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting and the East Asia Summit in President Obama’s place, and met President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang. There were several military exchanges, including the first-ever live drill involving members of the US and Chinese armed forces. A week after the Chinese military announced the establishment of its East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), Vice President Biden visited China along with Japan and South Korea. Vice Premier Liu Yandong visited the US for the Fourth China-US High Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange. On the economic front, the 24th Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) was held in Beijing. US and Chinese navy ships got within 100 yards of each other in yet another close call. US-Korea Relations:...………………………………………………………………………….37 The Demise of Jang Song Thaek by Victor Cha, CSIS/Georgetown University and Ellen Kim, CSIS The best news in the final months of the year was South Korea’s announcement of its interest in joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Beyond that, we saw bad, ugly, and unpredictable developments. North Korea startled the world by purging and executing Jang Song Thaek, only to be followed by the indefatigable Dennis Rodman’s visit to the country. China’s declaration of its new East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) caused a momentary lapse in Seoul’s good alliance management. Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo’s Yasukuni Shrine visit poured cold water on any hope for near-term improvements in Seoul-Tokyo relations. The year ended with no progress on outstanding bilateral negotiations between the US and ROK on a range of issues, leaving 2014 with a great deal of unfinished business. US-Southeast Asia Relations:…..……………………………………………………...............47 Obama Passes by Sheldon Simon, Arizona State University/Carl Baker, Pacific Forum CSIS Faced with a government shutdown and a debt default crisis, President Obama canceled an extended visit to Southeast Asia that would have included several bilateral and multilateral meetings. While Secretary of State Kerry filled in for the president at these venues and most regional leaders expressed understanding, several also expressed anxiety over Washington’s ability to carry out a consistent policy toward Southeast Asia. The US rebalance toward Asia continued with financial commitments to enhancing maritime security, announcements of military sales, deployment of an additional Littoral Combat Ship to Singapore, and calls for accelerated negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. The robust response by the US to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines was widely viewed as a concrete example of

    PROGRAMME ASIE QUELLE COMPOSITION DU POLITBURO ET DU COMITÉ CENTRAL CHINOIS APRÈS 2017 ? Par Alex PAYETTE STAGIAIRE POSTDOCTORAL CRSH UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTREAL OCTOBRE 2016 Septembre 2016 ASIA FOCUS #3 l’IRIS ASIA FOCUS #3 - PROGRAMME ASIE / Octobre 2016 lors que 2016 se termine et que la campagne anticorruption agressivement menée par la tristement célèbre « jiwei » [纪委] a pris fin, il ne reste que A quelques mois pour finaliser la sélection interne des cadres qui seront appelés à être élus en novembre au Politburo ainsi qu’au Comité central. Cela dit, depuis la fin de 2015, nous avons pu remarquer un certain durcissement, voire même un « repli » de la part de Xi, tant dans son attitude face au pouvoir (p. ex. retour aux idiomes/symboles maoïstes, méfiance ouverte de l’Occident, attitude de plus en plus inflexible en matière de structures internationales, etc.), que dans son attitude envers certains patriarches du Parti, notamment Jiang Zemin (président de la République populaire entre 1993 et 2003) et Hu Jintao (président de 2003 à 2013), ainsi qu’envers les autres forces en présence sur la scène politique chinoise (par exemple la Ligue des jeunesses communistes [共青团]1, la « faction du pétrole » [石油帮]2, la bande Shanghai [ 上海帮], la bande du Jiangxi [江派], etc.). Ce dernier a également resserré son emprise non seulement sur Beijing – par le biais de son proche collaborateur Wang Xiaohong [王 小洪]3-, mais bien aussi sur le pays en entier. Tandis que le temps d’« abattre les tigres » [打虎] et que les déraillements de la jiwei sont encore perceptibles, en particulier dans la province du Hebei4, fort est de constater que l’impact n’est pas celui escompté, sauf dans les cas de Su Shulin [苏树林]5 et Jiang Jiemin [蒋洁敏]6, et qu’il ne sera pas vraiment possible d’évaluer les dégâts de cette campagne avant la formation du Comité central de 2022.

Informe Las claves de la semana apuntan a dos frentes principales. En el orden interno, el escándalo surgido en torno al presidente del Yuan Legislativo, Wang Jin-pyng. En el externo, la invitación cursada a Taiwán para asistir a la reunión anual de la OACI que tendrá lugar del 24 de septiembre al 4 de octubre en Montreal (Canadá). El presidente del Yuan legislativo se ha visto involucrado en un caso de tráfico de influencias relacionado con el legislador del PDP, Ker Chien-ming. Al parecer, Wang Jin-pyng pidió la intervención del ministro de justicia para que la fiscalía no apelara una sentencia que declaraba no culpable al diputado del PDP por un caso de desvío de fondos por el que había sido condenado en primera instancia a seis meses de prisión. El día 11, el KMT decidía expulsar a Wang de sus filas y el presidente Ma Ying-jeou le instó a renunciar a su cargo. La primera reacción de Wang, además de desmentir las presuntas presiones, consistió en descalificar las HEBDOMADARIO DE LA POLÍTICA TAIWANESA · www.politica-china.org 1 pruebas (obtenidas a través de intervenciones telefónicas), advirtiendo que una condena precipitada podía poner en peligro la unidad del partido y provocar rupturas internas. Dado que Wang Jin-pyng fue elegido en la lista del KMT y no en una circunscripción, su expulsión implica la pérdida automática de la condición de diputado y, consiguientemente, el cese al frente del Yuan.

  • AIIB, OBOR and Taiwan's AIIB
    AIIB, OBOR and Taiwan’s AIIB Bid 1 AIIB, OBOR and Taiwan’s AIIB Bid Linjun Wu Research Fellow, Institute of International Relations, Professor, International Doctoral Program in Asia-Pacific Studies, National Chengchi University Abstract China’s launch of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to support its “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) economic strategy has both been received with great enthusiasm and has sparked debate in East Asia and beyond. This paper begins with a circumstantial analysis of the relationship between the AIIB and OBOR. Then, it explores the implications of Taiwan’s prospective membership and the external and internal challenges to its bid to join the AIIB. The paper finds a number of challenges and benefits of a pros- pective Taiwan membership in the institution. It concludes that Taiwan’s participation in the China-led organization would not only encounter domestic divergence but also invite a power struggle between China and the U.S., thereby likely pulling Taipei into a great power confrontation. Nevertheless, membership would be beneficial for Taiwan’s regional standing. So, the existing roadblocks, including the name issue, will have to be dealt with. Keywords: AIIB,OBOR,Taiwan,China,U.S.,RuleSetting 2 Prospect Journal No.14 I. Introduction China’s launch of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has been met with great enthusiasm and also has ignited debate in East Asia and beyond. Opinions have varied on the sig- nificance and geopolitical implications of the institution. While some have emphasized the systemic nature of the initiative as a trend setter and game changer, others view it as merely an extension of the existing financial-development models, if not merely a low-key fi- nancial institution with no prospects of achieving high standards and efficiency.

NOVEMBER MOEA funds smart city project Smart city Definition: „A developed urban area that creates sus- tainable economic development and high quality of life by excelling in multiple key areas; economy, mobility, environment, people, living, and government. Excelling in these key areas can be done so through strong human capital, social capital, and/ or ICT infrastructure.” The Ministry of Economic Affairs plans to fund lo- cal operators of smart city applications starting next year as part of efforts to accelerate Taiwan’s devel- opment of fourth-generation (4G) wireless services. The three-year project, which aims to build smart cities based on „mature business models,” will al- low telecom or information technology operators to apply for subsidies for 4G applications such as secu- rity, health management, cash flow, entertainment, transportation and logistics, according to officials at the ministry’s Industrial Development Bureau. The NT$5.181 billion planned budget for the mi- nistry’s smart city project is part of a NT$15 billion fund raised by the government that aims to narrow Taiwan’s 4G development gap behind South Korea. Smart city development must be planned through a top-down approach, with thorough arrangements in place to address different needs. For example, peop- le’s daily needs are the most important requirements for smart city development. Therefore, each city MOEA funds on the project, NTđ 5.181 billion must be developed differently to achieve different First year: NT$ 2.466 billion goals such as the development of smart transport for Second year: NT$ 1.305 billion traffic jam problems and flood control solutions for Third year: NT$ 1.410 billion areas prone to flooding.
