Abstract

The article notes that China's mask diplomacy in Southeast Asia is an integral part of its foreign policy aimed at strengthening its positions in the region by increasing the level of confidence. By providing assistance to Southeast Asian countries in the fight against COVID-19, China hopes to improve its image of a “benevolent” neighbor in the region. At the same time, the priority was given to those countries of Southeast Asia with which the closest relations have developed and which are participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. In the development of the achieved success in mask diplomacy, China is moving to the implementation of the so-called vaccine diplomacy in Southeast Asia. However, despite the currently pronounced humanitarian orientation of China's foreign policy in Southeast Asia, the continuing territorial conflict in the South China Sea plays against its positive image in the region as “generous sponsor”. Time will tell whether mask diplomacy will help China gain an edge in the competition for influence in the region. But one thing is clear – China is acting decisively and does not miss a single chance to provide support for the countries of Southeast Asia in the competition with the United States.
中国在东南亚的面具外交
文章指出,中国在东南亚的面具外交是其外交政策的一个组成部分,旨在通过提高信心水平来加强其在该地区的地位。通过向东南亚国家提供抗疫援助,中国希望在该地区树立“仁善邻邦”形象。与此同时,优先考虑与“一带一路”发展关系最密切、参与“一带一路”建设的东南亚国家。然而,尽管目前中国在东南亚的外交政策以人道主义为导向,但南海持续的领土冲突与中国在该地区“慷慨赞助者”的积极形象背道而驰。假面外交能否帮助中国在该地区的影响力竞争中获得优势,时间将会证明。但有一点是明确的——中国正在果断行动,不会放过任何一个机会,在与美国的竞争中为东南亚国家提供支持。
