Core Viewpoint - The meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting has shifted from a confrontational stance to a potential for cooperation, reflecting underlying political pressures within the U.S. government [1][3][4]. Group 1: U.S.-China Relations - The U.S. has escalated tariffs on Chinese goods to as high as 145%, while also threatening other ASEAN countries with tariffs to force alignment [1][4]. - Rubio's sudden emphasis on "cooperation" post-meeting is seen as a tactical adjustment due to internal political pressures, including dissatisfaction from the "MAGA" faction and instability within the State Department [3][4]. - Wang Yi's three demands for cooperation highlight the need for the U.S. to adopt a more respectful and equal approach towards China, addressing the failures of past U.S. policies [4][6]. Group 2: ASEAN's Position - ASEAN countries are adopting a neutral stance in the U.S.-China rivalry, as evidenced by their lack of public alignment with either side and their push for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) [7]. - The meeting signals to ASEAN that choosing sides in great power competition is not in their best interest, promoting a strategy of maintaining autonomy [7]. Group 3: Future Prospects - The future of U.S.-China relations hinges on whether the U.S. can genuinely commit to principles of equality and respect, moving beyond mere rhetoric [9]. - Rubio's failure to mention specific measures for tariff reduction or sanctions relief indicates that U.S. cooperation remains largely verbal at this stage [9].
