		ASEAN regional integration consequently slowed down and it took a good six to seven years before a turn-around could be seen, peaking with the ASEAN summit in Vientiane, Laos three months ago, which launched a number of free trade agreements between ASEAN and its key trading partners.

		Similar to its proposals for ASEAN+3, the China–ASEAN Free Trade Area, and the East Asia Summit, the ARF Security Policy Conference seems to be part of a broader Chinese strategy to establish political preeminence in the region.

		ASEAN leaders noted that China’s foreign minister attended most of the ARF meeting and did not press them on a host of difficult issues, such as the war on terrorism, human rights, economic openness, and Burma’s accession to the chairmanship of ASEAN.
