Business Maverick: Biden’s renewed push in Southeast Asia sees more in favour of US

A survey of 1,308 Southeast Asians by the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute published on Thursday showed America’s popularity reached 61.1%, up from 57.0% last year. That compares to 38.9% of the respondents who chose China, further widening the popularity gap between the major powers.

US is shoring up its security presence in the region with nations expressing concern over the potential for conflict as China asserts greater military control in the waters around Taiwan and in the South China Sea. “The worry over China’s exercise of its strategic and economic influence is always present in this region, but the sense is that China, under President Xi, has abandoned the strategy of ‘hiding strengths, biding time’,” said Seah. “This makes it harder for the region to handle China’s responses and counter-responses.”
