But Toh Lam Seng reminds us that from the time of the Meiji Restoration of 1868 onwards, Japan had been coveting mainland China and the Korean Peninsula, and thus Japan and China were never on amicable terms. While Japanese politicians and the media like to play up the China rise factor, China-Japan relations really worsened in the late 1990s when the US and Japan redefined the US-Japan Security Treaty.

He reminds us that a sense of region was never a given for Southeast Asia; trade tied different peoples from land and sea together but it was really the former imperial masters and the US who made the region “real”. Western powers have remained interested in Southeast Asia through the years, as they had created the Southeast Asia concept and even ASEAN. On the other hand, China was never very much interested in the seas or countries to its south; this was until it realised during the Cold War that Southeast Asia and ASEAN had agency and could help China balance its needs in the maritime sphere amid the US's persistent dominance.

Add to that the plethora of war-themed dramas on screens and it seems that the Chinese are taking the manly mantra to the extreme.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) arguably represents an unprecedented level of international cooperation on a global problem. Therefore, the 2021 meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC – COP26 in Glasgow – is especially significant. COP26 marks five years (including a one-year pause due to COVID) since the Paris Agreement and is the first point at which countries must update their pledges for action to limit global warming to as close to 1.5 degrees Celsius as possible. Yet despite the importance of COP26 and the UNFCCC to find ways of avoiding harmful climate change, one high-emitting country of 23 million people will be absent from the negotiations – Taiwan." 2021-11-17,爱思想,中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议,,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129704.html, 2021-11-17,爱思想,含在口里的中年,吴稼祥,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129711.html, 2021-11-17,爱思想,迎接RCEP生效实施的几点思考,陈淑梅,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129705.html, 2021-11-16,爱思想,中文法学之“权力”源流考论,童之伟,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129685.html, 2021-11-16,爱思想,庄子的视野与心境,陈鼓应,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129695.html, 2021-11-15,爱思想,拜登政府对华态势考察,时殷弘,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129652.html, 2021-11-15,爱思想,中印伙伴关系复杂性的战略分析,门洪华,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129654.html, 2021-11-13,爱思想,市场与文明,莫志宏,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129633.html, 2021-11-13,爱思想,经济学中的利益与理念,张维迎,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129634.html, 2021-11-13,爱思想,“人文精神”的真实含义,李书磊,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129637.html, 2021-11-12,爱思想,“近亲繁殖”与社会上升通道堵塞,陈行之,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129620.html, 2021-11-12,爱思想,小说三章,陈行之,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129621.html, 2021-11-12,爱思想,乡村衰落的因素及其后果,朱启臻,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129626.html, 2021-11-12,爱思想,复兴之路中国粮,仲农平,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129622.html, 2021-11-11,爱思想,读左方《钢铁是怎样炼不成的》,朱学勤,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129611.html, 2021-11-11,爱思想,中国共产党第十九届中央委员会第六次全体会议公报,,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129608.html, 2021-11-11,爱思想,法治化治理的国家角色更新,于浩,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129593.html, 2021-11-11,爱思想,围园除后密谋与维新变法的失败,杨天石,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129591.html, 2021-11-11,爱思想,双循环赋能经济增长的质量与效率,江小涓 孟丽君,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129592.html, 2021-11-11,爱思想,美国与盟友的关系非冷战化,阎学通,http://www.aisixiang.com/data/129609.html, 2021-11-17,中央党史和文献研究院,党在大革命时期的学习,王继凯,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1117/c219021-32284730.html, 2021-11-16,中央党史和文献研究院,高扬新时代中国共产党人的思想旗帜,《求是》杂志编辑部,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1116/c441455-32283851.html, 2021-11-15,中央党史和文献研究院,第二个“历史决议”完成党在指导思想上的拨乱反正,田亮,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1115/c219000-32282548.html, 2021-11-15,中央党史和文献研究院,第一个“历史决议”团结全党同志如同一个和睦的家庭,朱东君,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1115/c219000-32282549.html, 2021-11-15,中央党史和文献研究院,新中国恢复联合国合法席位的历史意义和现实启示(深入学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想),刘建超,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1115/c219022-32282083.html, 2021-11-15,中央党史和文献研究院,坚定对中国化马克思主义的理论自信,胡长栓,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1115/c427152-32282398.html, 2021-11-13,中央党史和文献研究院,周恩来与新中国的谈判建交制度,郭伟伟,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1115/c423726-32282656.html, 2021-11-12,中央党史和文献研究院,中国共产党百年历史经验研究,吴德刚,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1112/c219000-32281045.html, 2021-11-12,中央党史和文献研究院,中华苏维埃共和国的故事,胡昌勇,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1112/c219000-32280851.html, 2021-11-12,中央党史和文献研究院,从百年党史汲取不懈奋斗的力量,,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1112/c423712-32280437.html, 2021-11-12,中央党史和文献研究院,在新时代新征程上赢得更加伟大的胜利和荣光(社论),,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1112/c423712-32280298.html, 2021-11-12,中央党史和文献研究院,“一篇马克思主义的纲领性文献”,本报记者 杜尚泽 宋静思,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1112/c423712-32280297.html, 2021-11-11,中央党史和文献研究院,兵运战线上的朱瑞,褚凡,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1111/c219000-32279564.html, 2021-11-11,中央党史和文献研究院,中国共产党党内集中教育的历史进程、基本特征和当代启示,袁倩,http://www.dswxyjy.org.cn/n1/2021/1111/c428053-32279478.html,
