The Chinese assess their involvement in multilateral security arrangements in the context of the evolving international situation in the Asia-Pacific region, which they view to be largely favourable to Chinese interests. They have been primarily concerned that China not be the odd country out on this issue and that it head off potential threats to Chinese interests that could result from some of the multilateral schemes being promoted in the region. Beijing wjlJ likely continue to maintain a cautious stance towards multilateralism and wait for other countries to take the initiative while emphasizing that most security problems in the region are not amenable to multilateral solutions. Chinese experts nevertheless view increasing multilateralism in the region as inevitable and have concluded that non-participation in the process could be riskier for China than selective involvement. The majority of Chinese specialists portray multilateralism as largely irrelevant - or potentially damaging to efforts aimed at solving or managing most of the key disputes in the Asia-Pacific region. These issues include bilateral territorial disputes such as those between Russia and Japan, and between China and its neighbours, Russia, Japan, Vietnam, and India; the dispute over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea; and the problem of reunification of Taiwan and the Mainland.
