Chinese dams under US scrutiny in Mekong rivalry

BANGKOK: A US-funded project using satellites to track and publish water levels at Chinese dams on the Mekong river was launched on Monday (Dec 13), adding to the superpowers’ rivalry in Southeast Asia.
The 4,350km waterway – known as the Lancang in China and flowing south through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam – has become a focus of competition.
Beijing has dismissed US research saying Chinese dams have retained water to the detriment of downstream nations, where 60 million people depend on the river for fishing and farming.

TTCT – “Vui sướng nhất thế giới hiện giờ là các lãnh đạo Trung Quốc…” – Phải chăng phát biểu của Tổng thống Donald Trump phản ánh quan hệ giữa ông và Bắc Kinh vào cuối trào? Phải chăng cơn lốc trừng phạt Trung Quốc vừa rồi của ông chỉ là những nước đi cuối trước khi dẹp bàn cờ?
Song, có lẽ chính ông Trump cũng là một trong những nhà lãnh đạo “sung sướng” nhất hiện nay. Thứ bảy tuần rồi 5-12 tại Valdosta, bang Georgia, ông đi gặp các fan cứng trong một cuộc mittinh mà báo chí gọi là “cuộc tập hợp quần chúng đầu tiên kể từ bầu cử hôm 3-11”.
The Next Stage of the Ideological Struggle Between the U.S. and China
By Isaac Chotiner December 9, 2020 The New Yorker
In September, the House passed a bill that would ban imports produced by Uighur forced laborers in Xinjiang. Companies such as Apple, Nike, and Coca-Cola have mounted a lobbying campaign against the bill, which passed the House by an overwhelming margin of four hundred and six to three, and is likely to pass the Senate. If the bill does become law, it will be the latest sign that the relationship between the United States and China is as contentious as it has been in decades. The Chinese Communist Party’s use of forced labor, its authoritarian activity in Hong Kong, and its obfuscation about the coronavirus have raised bipartisan concerns about the future of the relationship between the U.S. and China.

U.S.-China Relations Haven’t Been This Toxic Since Vietnam
CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
The two governments have been reduced to trading insults and taunts, closing consulates, and mounting demonization campaigns for the benefit of their respective domestic audiences.James A. WarrenPublished Nov. 27, 2020 5:12AM ET
U.S.-China relations have been on a generally downward trajectory since it became apparent during the later Obama years that America’s longstanding policy of diplomatic and economic engagement had failed to bring China around to embrace democratic institutions or accept the rules-based international order led by the United States. On all fronts—diplomatic, military, and commercial—the relationship has been an exceptionally bumpy ride since Donald Trump assumed office. With the advent of COVID-19, international relations scholars and professional China watchers say, things have gone rapidly from bad to worse.

The program will be executed by the U.S. Air Force under the auspices of the weapons program executive officer, and it will leverage more than 15 years of collaboration on research into scramjets, rocket motors, sensors and advanced manufacturing materials between the two countries.

Biden’s top envoy says China decoupling was a ‘mistake’ but ASEAN nations will still be pressed to pick superpower sides
The incoming Joe Biden administration is expected to be more dependable and predictable than Donald Trump’s, a potential cause for relief among Southeast Asian governments that have struggled to read and react to the outgoing US president’s mercurial leadership.
The region, a key battleground for influence between the US and China, may also benefit from a possible de-escalation of tensions between the two superpowers after Biden is inaugurated on January 20.
