But how to evade new dependencies and how to balance Chinese powerplay? How fair is a dominant China treating its neighbours? Where does Beijing help, where does it create trouble? What role do the Chinese diaspora and anti-Chinese ressentiments play? Who pays the price for China´s quest for raw materials, water and energy ressources and its cheap exports flooding the whole region? How do Chinese divide-and-rule tactics effect the ASEAN community?
Discussion in English with journalistst from Myanmar, Cambodia and Malaysia participating in a workshop of the taz Panterstiftung.
Moderator: Sven Hansen, taz-editor Asia-desk
