We\u2019re\nslowly but surely drifting towards an era of a new Cold War between the US and\nChina and nowhere is it going to be more deeply felt than in the Indo-Pacific;\nthe past fortnight served to remind us of just how stark our future strategic\nchoices will have to be. A Chinese surveillance ship was reported to be sailing<\/a> near Australian waters off the coast of\nQueensland to observe \u2018Talisman Sabre\u2019, joint military drills involving the US,\nJapan and Australia. This is the first time that Japan is participating in\nthese exercises, which speaks to the deepening ties among these nations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although\nthe Dongdiao-class ship will remain outside Australian territorial waters, it\nwill stay in Australia\u2019s Exclusive Economic Zone for a month, to monitor the\nwar games. Defence experts say that the People\u2019s Liberation Army (Navy) is\nespecially looking<\/a> to see how Japanese Maritime Self Defence\nForce operates with its Australian and American counterparts. Australian naval\nofficials were not too worried about this development but affirmed that they\nwill \u2018take appropriate action.\u2019 The US Pacific Fleet\u2019s spokesperson commented\nthat they\u2019d taken all necessary precautionary measures to protect their\ncritical information. The US, by letting China observe these exercises, hopes<\/a> to seek similar reciprocity from Beijing in\nthe South China Sea, according to Ankit Panda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-two\ncountries, including Australia, signed<\/a> a letter calling on China to stop its\nmass-detention of Muslim-minority Uighurs in Xinjiang, at a United Nations\nHuman Rights Council meeting this fortnight. Human Rights Watch claims that\nover 1 million Uighurs have been detained in detention centres by Beijing,\nwhich China says are \u2018reeducation camps\u2019 aimed at stamping out Islamic\nradicalisation. However, as this week\u2019s ABC Four Corners investigation<\/a> reported, government activities\nwhich include the removal of children from their families, strikes closer to a\ncampaign of cultural genocide against the Uighurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\nhas formally taken up a case of a Uighur-Australian man, whose wife and\nAustralian-born son are said to be under house-arrest in Xinjiang. Canberra has\nasked<\/a> Beijing to allow the woman and child to travel\nto Australia. The four corners investigation has also unveiled the involvement\nof Australian universities said to have research links with a Chinese company\nwhich is providing the Chinese government with technology to track and detain\nUighurs. Now, the University of Technology Sydney is reviewing<\/a> its $10 million research\npartnership with the Chinese company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corporates\nsuch as Target and Cotton On are also reviewing<\/a> their supply chains after it was\nrevealed that the cotton they use is produced by forced labour in Xinjiang. The\nChinese embassy has reacted<\/a> sharply to the tv program, saying\nit is \u2018full of lies, distortion and bias\u2019. China points to the support<\/a> it received at the UNHRC meeting recently,\nwhen 37 (mostly authoritarian) countries condoned its treatment of Uighurs.\nMore than anything else, the US-China rivalry represents a battle of political\nsystems (as Elsa Kania sees<\/a> it) and values and has significant\nimplications for the future of the international order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another\naspect of this new era of major power rivalry is the battle for influence and power\nprojection in distant theatres. Chinese defence minister Wei Fenghe, addressing\nsenior defence officials from the Caribbean and South Pacific, stated<\/a> that China was keen to expand defence\ncooperation through the Belt and Road Initiative, putting paid to its own\nclaims about the peaceful agenda of the BRI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of\nthe BRI, former Maldivian president Mohamed Nasheed sparred<\/a> with the Chinese ambassador in his country on\nTwitter over Male\u2019s colossal $3.4 billion debt to China. Maldives claims that\nthe Chinese over-invoiced them for the infrastructure projects they commissioned.\nThe small Indian Ocean Region island ousted its pro-China president last year\nand the new government is much more clear-eyed about the Chinese debt trap.\nMale is said to be planning to cancel its agreement with Beijing to build an\nIndian ocean observatory in Makunudhoo, a critical strategic point in the IOR. On\na related note, Malaysia seized<\/a> US $243.5 million from the bank account of a\nChinese state-owned oil company after it failed to deliver the pipelines it\npromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another\npart of the Indo-Pacific, tensions<\/a> flared briefly between the Indian and Chinese\narmies along the Sino-Indian border in eastern Ladakh when China objected to\nsome locals celebrating the Dalai Lama\u2019s birthday. China is especially\nsensitive about Tibet at the moment, in light of the Dalai Lama suggesting<\/a> recently that his successor may not\nemerge in China but in \u2018free country\u2019 and could come from India. China plans to\nnominate its own Dalai Lama and there\u2019s every possibility that there will be\ntwo claimants to the position, one Chinese and one from India. Beijing issued<\/a> a sharp statement this week warning\nIndia not to interfere with the succession of the Dalai Lama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taiwanese president\nTsai Ing-Wen made her first trip<\/a> to the US as president of Taiwan\nlast week, despite strong protests by China. Addressing a gathering of UN ambassadors\nfrom countries that recognise Taiwan at the de-facto Taiwanese consulate in New\nYork, Tsai declared, \u2018I want to reiterate that Taiwan is not and will never be\nintimidated.\u2019 She also urged<\/a> them to support Taiwan\u2019s bid for UN\nmembership. Her visit comes days after the US department of defence approved<\/a> arms sales worth $2 billion to Taiwan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching up\non the latest developments on the ongoing RCEP negotiations, ASEAN trade\nministers visited<\/a> New Delhi last week to persuade India to sign\nup to the trade agreement. However, the Indian government\u2019s primary advisory\nbody on these matters, the Niti Aayog, has warned<\/a> of \u2018disastrous\u2019 consequences of India signing\nup to the deal, highlighting that Indian markets will be flooded with Chinese\ngoods and further widen the trade deficit between India and China. Australian\nis working<\/a> hard to allay Indian fears about RCEP, arguing\nthat it will give a much-needed boost to Indian industry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other\nnews, the US has imposed<\/a> sanctions on Myanmar\u2019s military leaders over\ntheir abuse of the Rohingyas, in what\u2019s being called the strongest US reaction\nto the Rohingya crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another\nnote, Filipino president Rodrigo Duterte signed a sexual harassment law<\/a> this week amid heavy criticism of\nhis own behaviour towards women, including several controversial statements\nmade by him in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere,\nIndonesia has embarked on its own pivot to the Pacific, its so-called \u2018Pacific\nelevation\u2019. Indonesian foreign minister Retno Marsudi declared<\/a> this week that the country was entering into a\n\u2018new era for Pacific engagement\u2019 to promote its trade and cultural ties to the\nregion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shifting\nfocus on Australia\u2019s own Pacific \u2018step up\u2019, Papua New Guinea\u2019s new prime\nminister James Marape and his wife Rachael will visit<\/a> Australia next week as Scott\nMorrison\u2019s first official guests in his new term. The six-day visit will be\ngeared towards deepening bilateral economic and security cooperation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significance for Australia <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Professor Hugh\nWhite\u2019s latest book How to defend Australia<\/em> couldn\u2019t have been more\ntimely. At a time when disruption seems to be the defining characteristic of\nthe international order, and amid growing uncertainty about the future\ntrajectory of US-China relations, it\u2019s important to have a conversation about\nAustralia\u2019s core interests and how they ought to be protected. While many don\u2019t\nshare Professor White\u2019s glum views on the US commitment to the region, the\nbook\u2019s most important contribution is to have started a much-needed debate on\nthese matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly,\nthe ABC\u2019s investigation into the condition of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang has\nbegun a conversation about human rights and Chinese repression. As I alluded to\nearlier, this new phase of rivalry between the US and China is about norms,\nvalues and divergent visions for the future of the international order. So,\nwhether we talk about the BRI, Taiwan, Xinjiang, South China Sea or Tibet,\nwe\u2019re essentially talking about norms and values of freedom, openness,\ntransparency, human rights and democracy. While Australia respects other\ncountries\u2019 domestic sovereignty, there remains a moral obligation to speak out\nagainst atrocity, as it has done in the Rohingya case in Myanmar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a\nvery real possibility that as China becomes more powerful, it might start\nexporting its domestic norms and values abroad, as it\u2019s already doing with\nChinese nationals living overseas. Australia recognises this trend and is\nlooking to work with regional and global partners to protect our common\ninterests. As Peter Jennings wrote<\/a> recently, \u2018If a new cold war is our future,\nAustralia must move quickly to stake out our position as an influential player\nin the region with a voice to be listened to in Washington and Beijing.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
