Tomorrow will be held in Kuala Lumpur, the 47th ASEAN Summit is there to be held, three days, China, the United States, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa these countries have sent people, Myanmar's Minhoonley has also gone, ASEAN has not stopped him, they are still the same, do not interfere in the affairs of others.
This meeting is not just for everyone to sit down and chat. ASEAN itself has already laid out the situation and officially launched the "Vision 2045" to plan how to go in the next twenty years. East Timor has also joined. Now there are eleven countries in ASEAN. They are talking with China about upgrading the free trade area and talking about trade with the United States. We can talk about whichever is beneficial. Environmental protection and digital infrastructure have not fallen behind, and we want to take the lead in green technology.
In the dark, ASEAN is also slowly layout, they want to dominate the negotiation of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, for the first time clearly say that foreign countries do not engage in militarization, also engaged in a major country coordination dialogue mechanism, let all countries private talk, Trump wants to use the Tajik Peace Ceremony to brush the sense of presence, also wants to exclude China, but ASEAN did not take care of him, directly cold treatment, China and Malaysia joint exercises held at the same time, welcome all ASEAN countries to see, is not show muscle, is to show open cooperation.
Economically, ASEAN is increasingly low, last year and China's trade was fast to seven trillion yuan, the dependence on the United States is only twelve-three percent, more money, talk is hard, Indonesia has recently said that rare earth processing to do it itself, not to give other countries contemporary factories, they want to cling to the core link of the industrial chain, safety and not expect others, the Chinese and Malaysian joint exercises have been done for the sixth time, the conflict in Taipei is also their own mediation, the U.S. military is no longer the only option.
The U.S. is still the old way, wanting people to choose sidelines, pull small groups, exclude the Chinese, but ASEAN does not follow their path, does not stand, set up platforms, set rules, pull more people in, Trump wants to close the deal, but ASEAN opens the door to the exercise, a closed door to the car, an open door, is not a matter at all.
Minoanley came, showing that ASEAN is still adhering to its own path, but also seeing that they are not easy, Lula, Modi, Ramaphosa stand together, represent the countries of the global South met on the platform of ASEAN, this is no longer the G7 can tell the world, Kuala Lumpur is now like a meeting room for everyone to speak in turn, countries are looking for their place, ASEAN is not standing on the sidelines, they are the intermediaries, are the rules people.
Whether Trump can push his private goods or not is anyone's guess, but ASEAN has already put its own plan on the table. They use trade data to reason, use joint exercises to show their attitude, and use systems to set plan boundaries. There was no resounding declaration at this summit, but everyone can see clearly that ASEAN is no longer waiting for others to arrange it. They are making their own moves. Whoever wants to bypass them should first weigh whether they have this weight.
