| Summary: | This article examines Southeast Asian regionalism amidst globalization in the context of China’s soft power strategy in the region.

While there seems to be a convergence of Southeast Asian regionalism and China’s use of soft power, this article identifies some pitfalls that limit the luster of China’s soft power appeal in the region. |
