Imperial intrigue
Article Abstract:
China is taking the opportunity presented by Southeast Asia's financial problems to develop a closer relationship with the region. Experts believe China is using economic ties to gain support on foreign policy issues, particularly in view of Chinese fears concerning the US-Japan security treaty. China has offered to lend crisis-stricken Thailand $1 billion and it has made its biggest ever overseas investment in Malaysia. Chinese Premier Li Peng made a 6-day visit to Southeast Asia in Aug 1997, during which he made comments intended to bolster growing anti-West feelings in the region.
