In recent years, U.S. actions in the South China Sea have attracted a lot of attention. Especially after Marcos Jr. came to power in the Philippines, the United States successfully influenced the Philippines' stance on China. The Philippines has changed from a "pro-China and distancing the United States" country to an "anti-China" stance and maintains close military cooperation with the United States. However, this move to contain China has exposed the contradictions and crises of the Philippines on the South China Sea issue. Although the United States is an ally of the Philippines, it cannot replace China's important position in the Philippines' neighborhood. The Philippines' provocative actions in the South China Sea have not only exacerbated regional tensions, but also put it in jeopardy.
With the revelation of Indonesia**, US intervention in Asian countries is once again in the spotlight. As one of the largest countries in Southeast Asia, Indonesia's election results are of great significance to the regional pattern of Asia. The current Indonesian Defense Minister Prabo Subianto, together with Jokowi's eldest son, Jibran Rakabmin Raqka, won the election, indicating that Indonesian politics will continue Jokowi's ruling policy. Prabo Subianto's election means that Indonesia will continue to pursue a foreign policy of equality and mutual benefit and maintain friendly relations with China. The election results reflect the Indonesian people's desire to maintain their independence and self-determination, and also put the United States in an awkward position when facing Asian countries.
The results of Indonesia** have made waves on the Asian political stage. The victory of Prabo Subianto and Jibran Rakabumin Raqqa means that Indonesia** will continue its friendly relations with China and adhere to a foreign policy of equality and mutual benefit. This result is considered to be the expectation and choice of the Indonesian people for maintaining peace and development, and shows Indonesia's commitment to its own interests and independence. Previous U.S. intervention and pressure in Indonesia have failed to sway the choices of Indonesian voters, but have strengthened Indonesia's firm belief in independent diplomacy.
Prabo Subianto's victory is undoubtedly a challenge for the United States. The United States has previously regarded Prabo Subianto as a controversial figure and has repeatedly interfered in Indonesia's internal affairs in an attempt to influence Indonesia's foreign policy. However, Prabo Subianto's election means that Indonesia will continue to adhere to an independent foreign policy and safeguard its own interests and regional peace and stability. The U.S. intervention in Indonesia has not only failed to achieve the desired results, but has deepened the Indonesian people's pursuit of autonomy and national dignity, which has undoubtedly had a negative impact on the U.S. influence in the Asian region.
The United States has always regarded maintaining its hegemony in the Asian region as its primary task, and its interference and manipulation of Asian countries have always been controversial. However, U.S. policy in the Philippines and Indonesia has exposed its mistakes and limitations in the Asian countries. The United States has miscalculated the Asian countries' pursuit of autonomy and independence, as well as their expectations for peace and development. They blindly interfere in the internal affairs and diplomacy of other countries and try to influence their policies, but ignore the right of each country to make independent choices according to its own interests and circumstances.
In the face of the situation in the Philippines and Indonesia, the United States urgently needs to reflect and adjust. We should no longer put our own interests above the interests of other countries, respect the independence and autonomy of each country, abide by international law and the principle of equality and mutual benefit, strengthen dialogue and cooperation with Asian countries, and jointly build a peaceful and stable regional order in Asia. The United States can promote regional development and prosperity and achieve a win-win situation by strengthening economic cooperation, cultural exchanges and other interactions. Only in this way can the United States truly win the trust and support of Asian countries and establish long-term and stable cooperative relations.
