Description

Introduction Chinese and American policies toward mainland Southeast Asia, while not at the competitive or ideological levels of the Cold War era, show interesting and complicated aspects while periodically tending toward zero-sum outcomes as both sides hedge against future developments. Both great powers have close, even quasi-client relations with countries on the mainland--the United States with Thailand, and China with Myanmar. Relations with Vietnam are more difficult, meeting cautious resistance from Hanoi given the historic Chinese invasions of Vietnam and American bombing of northern Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s. Laotian and Cambodian affairs, while largely an afterthought for Washington, are more important for Beijing which pulls resources and trade out of these two Indochinese countries and has begun damming the Upper Mekong River system. For the United States, which has no need for Cambodian or Laotian exports, the human rights policies of the Phnom Penh and Vientiane regimes draw Washington's attention.
