Abstract The current game between China and the US mainly focuses on the reconstruction of regional order, that is, the competition between the “Chinese Approach” and the “Free and Open Indo⁃Pacific”(FOIP) strategy of the US. In order to gain support from ASEAN countries, the US recognizes ASEAN’s entrality. In the circumstance, Indonesia has laid out its version of Indo⁃Pacific vision, which aims to aintain regional peace, create new economic growth centers, and trengthen the governance of non⁃traditional security issues through regional cooperation. Its aims are to maintain ASEAN’s centrality and unity.In view of this, China need to uphold the concept of inclusiveness and openness which ASEAN advocates,encourage third⁃market cooperation with Japan, India, and other countries, and to promote the development of reional order in the direction of mutual benefit rather than “zero⁃sum”, by means of dialogue rather than confrontation.
