Shifting Alliances in Southeast Asia
동남아 지역의 동맹 관계 변화
A recent survey revealed that if pressed to choose between aligning with the U.S. or China amid ongoing tensions, a majority of southeast Asians now favor China.
U.S. favorability has dropped from 61.1% to 49.5%.
Despite China's rising popularity, specific Southeast Asian countries with direct territorial disputes with China still show a preference for the U.S.

The survey involved 1,994 respondents from varied sectors across ASEAN nations.
It underscored China's strategic importance, with over half of the respondents viewing it as the most relevant partner for ASEAN.
This preference comes despite ongoing concerns about China's potential to exert undue economic and military influence in the region.

While China's influence in Southeast Asia is growing, the survey also highlighted deep-seated fears among ASEAN nations regarding economic and military threats from Beijing.
Countries like the Philippines and Vietnam, which have active territorial conflicts with China, continue to strongly support the U.S.
This preference illustrates the complex dynamics in the region.
