The past fortnight witnessed a few interesting developments which, although understated in their nature, are likely to have lingering consequences for the Indo-Pacific region. One of the most important, and yet subtle developments this fortnight was a shift<\/a> in Australia\u2019s position on the ongoing border tensions between India and China, as Canberra affirmed its support for New Delhi and emphasised its opposition to \u2018any attempts to unilaterally alter the status quo\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest Sino-Indian clash along the Line of Actual Control has been underway since May this year and is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, despite several attempts at disengagement and negotiation. Earlier in the crisis, Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne had taken a neutral stance and urged both countries to maintain restraint after a bloody incident left several soldiers dead on either side. However, now Australia has backed India\u2019s stand on the issue, marking a significant moment in bilateral ties with both Beijing and New Delhi. It\u2019s even more significant in the China-Australia context because it comes on the heels of Canberra\u2019s recent decision<\/a> to back the 2016 UNCLOS ruling in the South China Sea, rejecting Beijing\u2019s claims to the region entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported in the earlier iterations of this wrap, the disengagement process between China and India along the LAC isn\u2019t progressing well as PLA troops are refusing<\/a> to withdraw from the Pangong lake and the Depsang plains in eastern Ladakh. In fact, China is continuing to increase its military presence all along the LAC, extending to Arunachal Pradesh. This week, the Chinese Ambassador to India, Sun Weidong asserted<\/a> in an opinion piece that the responsibility for ending the standoff doesn\u2019t lie with China, even as his counterpart, Vikram Misri, met<\/a> with a senior CCP official to discuss the LAC issue. Importantly, the Indian Chief of Defence Staff and other senior military officials briefed<\/a> an Indian parliamentary panel on the status of the disengagement and are reported to have told the panel that they were preparing for a \u2018long haul\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark the anniversary of the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s autonomous status by India, Pakistan issued a new map<\/a> this fortnight which shows Kashmir as part of Pakistan and also includes Siachen, Sir Creek and bizarrely, the erstwhile Indian princely state of Junagadh, which is now part of the Indian state of Gujarat. Even more remarkably, Islamabad left its eastern boundaries undefined as it didn\u2019t want to challenge China\u2019s sovereignty over Aksai Chin and other parts of Kashmir. India, on its part, slammed this move by calling it a \u2018political absurdity\u2019. Pakistan and China are not the only nations challenging India\u2019s territorial claims, with Nepal set to send its new map<\/a> to the UN, to assert its sovereignty over the Lipulekh region, which India contests as its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving on, this fortnight marked another low point in Hong Kong\u2019s struggle to preserve its democracy with law enforcement agencies making some high-profile arrests<\/a> under the CCP\u2019s draconian national security law, including owner of pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily<\/em>, Jimmy Lai and activist Agnes Chow. Critics say that China is conducting a \u2018political purge\u2019 in Hong Kong to end all forms of dissent. Meanwhile, foreign ministers of the Five Eyes nations issued a joint statement<\/a> criticising the Hong Kong government\u2019s decision to postpone<\/a> the legislative council elections and for the disqualification of the pro-democracy candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other important news, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order<\/a> effectively banning Chinese social media applications TikTok and WeChat on grounds of national security. TikTok has come under much global scrutiny in recent times after India banned it in retaliation against Chinese aggression along the LAC. Concerns over Beijing using its technology companies for espionage have been rife<\/a> for quite some time, with giants such as Huawei and ZTE being banned from participating in 5G spectrums in several nations, including Australia. Notably, the Australian government has decided not to place a ban<\/a> on TikTok, at least for now, and has left it to individuals to choose whether or not to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another corner of the Indo-Pacific, former Sri Lankan President and current Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa\u2019s Sri Lanka Podujana Party swept<\/a> the island nation\u2019s parliamentary election last week, consolidating the family\u2019s dynastic rule. Last year, his younger brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa had won the presidential election. Mahinda Rajapaksa is known to have been close to Beijing and it was under his watch that the Hambantota port deal was made. However, since Gotabaya Rajapaksa\u2019s election last year, the country has followed a largely centrist foreign policy, accommodating Indian interests as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Democratic presidential nominee John Biden has selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the upcoming election in November, raising hopes for a Democratic win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closer to home, Prime Minister Scott Morrison delivered an important foreign policy speech<\/a> at the Aspen Security Forum this fortnight titled \u2018Tomorrow in the Indo-Pacific\u2019 in which he laid Australia\u2019s strategic vision and perspective of current challenges facing the region. Interestingly, Morrison defended his \u2018negative globalism\u2019 speech at the Lowy Institute last year, insisting that Australia continued to value positive globalism in a world where all nations engaged fairly as \u2018equal, sovereign nations\u2019. However, he said, recent trends indicate that global institutions are being manipulated, facing unprecedented coercion and are failing in their tasks- it is this trend towards negative globalism that Morrison\u2019s government is against. Morrison also urged China to accept its \u2018broader strategic responsibility\u2019 and \u2018to enhance regional and global stability, commensurate with its new status.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We are living through unprecedented times. The larger geopolitical, strategic, and technological competition between the US and China is gradually underpinning all facets of international engagement between nations, including in the Indo-Pacific. These trends have been exacerbated due to Covid-19, including a sense of pervasive uncertainty about global strategic, economic and environmental stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s support for India on the LAC issue is a major milestone in Australian-Indian relations, especially because of New Delhi\u2019s traditional suspicions of Canberra being too close to Beijing to be a reliable strategic partner. That is now changing and for good measure. Canberra has adopted a principled stance, consistent with its commitment to a rules-based order, both in the South China Sea and along the LAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Five Eyes\u2019 statement on Hong Kong is also important as it puts forward a unified stance against the subversion of liberal values in the city and calls China out over its flouting of its \u2018One Country, Two Systems\u2019 promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canberra would be grievously concerned about the arrests of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong and would be watching the situation closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Morrison\u2019s Aspen speech was filled with a sense of urgency and realism about the current state of the international system, even though he invoked Hedley Bull\u2019s \u2018international society\u2019. Morrison succinctly summarised Canberra\u2019s plan for the Indo-Pacific thus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018We will play our part in maintaining the strategic balance so necessary in the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will invest in regional relationships because we all have a stake in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will strengthen our ties with fellow liberal democracies and like-mindeds, working with all partners in the region as well\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia is committed to upholding a rules-based order in the region and has, at least through recent actions, proved that it\u2019s willing to put its money where its mouth is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
