TERRITORIAL disputes in the South China Sea between China and ASEAN countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines notwithstanding, China-ASEAN relations remain very nmeh on the track of peaceful development, mutual-benefit, and win-win cooperation. China recently raised new proposals on handling tensions in the South China Sea, so further diminishing possibilities that the issue may obstruct China and ASEAN member nations' advance towards economic and strategic cooperation. The U.S. is hence unlikely to achieve its goal of containing China, fragmenting ASEAN, and interfering in East Asian integration.
