The Thai-US relationship: In the middle of a Bangkok Storm

BY: Pavin Chachavalpongpun

I visited Washington DC in October last year. While there and together with a number of scholars mostly from Southeast Asia, I had a chance to dine with Kurt Campbell, US Assistant State Secretary for East Asia and the Pacific, in a cosy restaurant near the Capitol Hill. The dinner was organised just four days before Campbell's first exploratory mission to Naypyidaw. He wanted to hear our views on how to best deal with the Burmese junta.

I took this opportunity to ask Campbell about the US perception towards Thailand's protracted crisis. Campbell frankly replied that the Obama administration was more concerned about the rising violence in Thailand than political repression in Burma. This was because Thailand has long been one of the US's closest allies in Asia and the US has a major stake in the kingdom's political stability.

Since October 2009, the Thai situation has gone from bad to worse. And during the past few days, Bangkok's streets were filled with blood. The government, on 13 May 2010, ordered its second crackdown on the red-shirted protesters. The deadly confrontations between the red-shirts and the security forces have so far resulted in almost 40 people killed and more than 200 injured. The US has every reason to be anxious about the situation that has obviously gone out of control.

Recently while on his way to Naypyidaw, Campbell made a brief stopover in Bangkok. On 9 May 2010, he held a meeting with Chaturon Chaisaeng, the disbanded Thai Rak Thai Party's former leader, Noppadon Pattama, legal adviser of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and key leaders of the red-shirted United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD). Campbell claimed that he just wanted to hear about the red-shirts' position and response to Abhisit's proposed roadmap.

This profoundly infuriated Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya who condemned the US government for "meddling" in Thai internal affairs. The next day, Kasit summoned US ambassador to Thailand Eric John to the Ministry for a 45-minute lecture. Later, Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, assistant to Kasit, revealed that the Foreign Ministry opposed talks between the US official and people attempting to oust the government in demonstrations which involved armed men.

Chavanond reportedly stated, "The political situation was sensitive and the red shirts' campaign was considered an act of terrorism or rebellion to overthrow the government. The US should be careful in meeting any political groups as they could use the opportunity for their own benefit." Kasit must have known well the definitions of "terrorism" and "rebellion" to overthrow the government. As one of the leaders of the yellow-shirted People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), Kasit employed the same tactic as seen today by the UDD. He was one among those who seized the Suvarnabhumi Airport in November 2008. Kasit, together with the PAD members, also attempted to unseat the elected governments of Samak Sundaravej and Somchai Wongsawat. The only difference is that Kasit has not yet been prosecuted for his unlawful actions.

I supported Campbell's latest move even when it could be considered as interference in Thai politics. His meeting with the red-shirted leaders was significant. On the US's part, it signals the shift of the US policy toward Thailand—a shift that reflects the reality in the Thai-US relationship.

During the Cold War, the US forged its close alliance with the Thai military and the powerful old elite while compelling the government of the day to formulate a pro-American, anti-communist, and even anti-democracy policy—all were carried out in the name of containing the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. Consequently, Thailand endured a series of despotic regimes in order to satisfy the US government and to receive generous military aid. When the Cold War was over, the US continued to uphold its intimate relationship with Thailand's established forces, believing that they represented the US's long-term interests in this country.

The US's pro-elite position explained why it did not come out harshly against the military coup of September 2006. Perhaps, because Thaksin was a threat to the Bangkok elite, he thus was also a threat to the American interests. And indeed, since the coup, the US remained relatively silent about the worsening situation in Thailand. Hence, Campbell's personal meeting with the red-shirted leaders symbolised a shift in the US stance vis-à-vis political developments in Thailand.

In looking back, despite a strong bilateral foundation, Thai-US relations were confined within an old structure and simply taken for granted. Whereas bilateral relations have been amicable, at a deeper level, new developments, either domestic or international, are gradually reshaping long-established ties. Rapid democratisation and economic development in Thailand have in recent years paved the way for a more open society and the emergence of new political players. Yet, US leadership failed to appreciate these new changes.

The US has probably learned that the Thai public, "yellow" or "red", has become more engaged in the political process than ever before and has more influence on public and foreign policy. Sadly, both Kasit and the Foreign Ministry are still been trapped in a Cold War mindset that expects the US to maintain its pro-elite position. In the meantime, Thailand has become a more mature society.

In the current turmoil, not everyone in Thailand approves of the red-shirts' violent demonstrations. Likewise, some of them disapprove the state's heavy-handed measures against the protesters. But from Washington's point of view, there is a need to preserve channels of communication with both the government and the UDD. The US has recently done so in the case of Burma - Washington has entered in a dialogue with the ruthless regime in Naypyidaw, and not just with Aung San Suu Kyi.

In the old days when Kasit campaigned for the ouster of Thaksin-backed regimes, he reached out to Thailand's foreign allies to deligitimise the former. If so, why can't the red-shirts now do the same thing? Or is this just another case of double standards in the maelstrom that had gripped Thai politics?

A Foreign Policy Agenda for the New Philippine President

Quite early on, all the other major presidential candidates, except former President Joseph Estrada, who preferred to wait for the official results of the vote, conceded victory in the May 10 Philippine elections to Senator Benigno Aquino III.

For the incoming president, the hard work of undertaking the necessary reforms now begins. Here are four foreign-related issues on which the new president will have to lead the nation.

Relations with China.

President Aquino may have to make an early visit to Beijing, if only to focus his mind on this all-important relationship, to take the measure of China's decision-makers, and to have a first-hand look at Chinese realities. Some of the issues to deal with are the conflicting claims of the Philippines and China to land features in the South China Sea and the uncertain nature of the maritime regimes there, the competition with China for markets and investments, the opportunities that a rapidly rising China presents to the Philippines, and the links between Chinese firms and powerful Filipinos. For the Philippines, China is both an opportunity and a challenge; it is both a rising power with which the Philippines has a territorial dispute and a surging market that can be an engine of growth for the region of which the country is a part. In any case, China is a looming force in East Asia while being held down by a number of internal constraints. The Philippines ought to approach its relations with China with utmost seriousness and sophistication, taking these tensions and seeming contradictions into account.

Competitiveness

The Philippines has been losing out in the global and regional competition for markets and investments. The reasons for this are not hard to fathom. Inconsistent economic policies. Uncertain economic decisions. Restrictive regulations on investments. Inadequate infrastructure. The high cost of public utilities. A sense of personal insecurity. The President has to address these perceptions, whether valid or not, whether founded on reality or merely created by a bad press. The rest of the world is not standing still. Already, Indonesia is outpacing the Philippines in economic growth and attractiveness for investors. Vietnam has long overtaken the country in, for example, tourist arrivals. This is not to mention the other neighbours – Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand – and China.

The Philippine diaspora

Filipinos at every level of skill have been leaving for other countries in increasing numbers to live and work. This phenomenon led a former member of the Philippine Cabinet to remark that Filipino labour and foreign capital are combining to build other countries. What is preferable, he said, is for Filipino labour to stay at home and combine with investments, domestic or foreign, to help build the Philippines. For this, both the Filipino worker and the necessary capital have to be attracted to engage themselves in the development of the Philippines – through the generation of employment, the expansion of the domestic market, efficient and affordable public services, educational improvements, the enforcement of the rule of law, personal security, the reduction of corruption, good governance, and the even-handed dispensation of justice. These are all, of course, inter-related and must be addressed together, simultaneously and head-on. Filipinos, those in the country and those outside it, yearn for these simple attributes of life and nationhood, which, they see in person or through the mass media, are enjoyed by other people as a matter of right. It is extremely unhealthy for society that its economy is so dependent on overseas citizens' remittances as that of the Philippines. It breaks up families. It hollows out the middle class. It deprives the nation of its most talented and enterprising workers.

The improvement of education

Related to the nation's international competitiveness, especially for the future, is the matter of education. First is the fundamental question of language. The nation remains undecided on the language in which children are to be taught – the language of their home, Tagalog or English. This is not about the learning of English, which nobody opposes, but about the most effective language in which to teach children the skills that they need for life and work. It is also about how English is most effectively taught and learnt – as the general language of instruction or as a second language. The second is the need to teach our children again love of country and the distinction between right and wrong. The schools, as well as families, have to teach children to embrace the right as something good for the self, the community and the country and reject the wrong as something harmful and personally and socially shameful. The third, and not necessarily the last, is training for science and technology; without the skills for these, economic progress is not possible.

These alone constitute a full agenda for the incoming president. He has to attend to them if the Philippines is to regain its place in the region and in the world under the new leadership.
