Asia Comes to the Fore.(relations with the United States)(Brief Article)(Interview)
Jusuf Wanandi has been one of Asia's leading thinkers on regional and global issues for more than two decades. An Indonesian of Chinese descent, Wanandi is chairman of the supervisory board of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta. Last week, he spoke by phone with NEWSWEEK's Hong Kong bureau chief Brook Larmer. Excerpts:
On why Asia will be George W. Bush's main foreign-policy concern:
Europe is largely at peace. The Middle East is simmering, but it has been for years. In strategic terms, Asia is coming to the fore as the next big challenge, and it's mainly due to China. China will become a superpower in the next 30 to 50 years. The U.S. is the only power that could guide China into a positive integration both regionally and globally. If that is handled badly, China could be the source of enormous problems due to the sheer size of its population, its economy and its military capabilities.
On Bush's learning curve:
Every new U.S. administration comes into power thinking it can reinvent the wheel [on foreign policy]. And George W. Bush is no exception. But his early encounters with China--on the spy-plane controversy and weapons sales to Taiwan--show that he has to take a more realistic path, one that is less confrontational. I think Bush is realizing that the world is not flat, but round.
On Bush's approach to U.S.-China relations:
