Since the end of the war in Vietnam and the withdrawal of the
American presence there, a marked realignment of power has taken
place in Southeast Asia. The old rivalry between China and the
United States has become a relationship of cautious rapprochement,
while Sino-Soviet competition has been intensified by China's fear
that the USSR will move to fill the power vacuum created by the
U.S. departure. The United States no longer perceives a friendly
Sino-Southeast Asian relationship to be as much of a danger to its
security interests as it once did, but how that relationship
develops remains of considerable importance to this country. In
this book, Edwin Martin examines some of the principal factors in
China's current relations with the Southeast Asian countries-
China's domestic policies, Peking-oriented insurgency in Southeast
Asian countries, the Overseas Chinese, trade considerations, the
policies of third powers-and concludes that the newly emergent
nationalism in Southeast Asia,coupled with Sino-Soviet rivalry,
indeed diminishes the threat posed by a Communist Indochina and
calls for a U.S. policy of encouraging stable relations in the
area, both among the countries themselves and between them and the
PRC. He asserts that a four-way balance of power- involving the
United States, the USSR, the PRC, and Japan-will prevent a power
vacuum in the area and will allow the Southeast Asian countries to
develop their own strengths, both political and economic. It is
thus to the advantage of the United States to encourage all steps
toward regional cooperation; U.S. policy, Professor Martin
concludes, should neither abandon Southeast Asia, nor attempt to
dictate to it.
