Abstract

This article examines the expansion of the geo-strategic rivalry between China and Japan into maritime Southeast Asia. This rivalry is reflected concretely in their policies, in their positions, and actions on the South China Sea dispute. Likewise, the article analyzes this rivalry on maritime security in Southeast Asia and then concludes that this increasing hostility not only strains the relations between these two East Asian powers but might also threaten the survival of ASEAN as a loose association of small Southeast Asian powers.
