Hoping that the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) can contribute to security in East Asia is akin to having expected the Little Entente in the inter-war period to resolve the strategic problems of France, Germany and Russia. North Asia is the locus of regional tensions, yet ASEAN clings to its centrality in the ARF. Arising from conflicts of strategic interests, those tensions cannot be ameliorated by the consensual approaches that have worked well in ASEAN. Apart from problems in Korea, strategic tensions in East Asia have their roots in China's willingness to use force and threat in pursuit of its interests. China's constant strategic pressure in the South China Sea has A SEAN in disarray. The ARF is doing little more than giving China opportunities to divide and rule.
