STORYLINE:
A Malaysian political expert says the U.S. attempt to court support among ASEAN in pursuit of its geopolitical interests is unlikely to gain traction.
The U.S.-ASEAN summit held last week is widely seen as an attempt by the world's sole superpower to pull members of the bloc into its camp against a rising China.
SOUNDBITE(English): LEE PEI MAY, Political analyst of International Islamic University Malaysia
"Even the U.S. administration, they agree that this (Indo-Pacific Economic Framework) is still a work in progress. So basically, they have no full plan as to what they can truly offer to ASEAN. It's not a surprise that the U.S. always has this grand plan to engage with different parts of the world
