Recently, a series of high-level moves by the United States have attracted widespread attention, especially under the double blow of Ukraine and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States seems to have begun to adjust its strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. And this adjustment, the interaction with China cannot be ignored.
1.Biden publicly stated that he is happy to see the vision of "peaceful reunification" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
At the beginning of this year, Biden publicly expressed his support for the vision of "peaceful reunification" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which caused widespread speculation from the outside world. Does it mean a strategic realignment of the United States, or is it just a diplomatic game? The answer may be hidden in the subsequent interactions.
2.U.S. Security Adviser Jake Sullivan's Urgent Visit to China: A New Move to Stabilize Sino-US Relations.
Sullivan's emergency visit to Bangkok, Thailand, was interpreted as an attempt by the United States to stabilize Sino-US relations by opening a two-way channel of communication through a one-way approach. Does this mean that the United States has little skill in the Asia-Pacific region and has to interact with China to maintain the big picture?
3.Possible future dialogues: artificial intelligence, high-level visits to China.
According to sources, in the coming months, China and the United States may start a dialogue in areas such as artificial intelligence, and Blinken and Yellen may also visit China again within the year. Can this high-level interaction bring a new face to the U.S.-China relationship?
4.Chinese and Russian defense ministers** call: The United States has lowered its tone to China.
It is worth noting that on the same day that the Chinese and Russian defense ministers spoke, the United States lowered its tone to China. The White House emphasized that China and the United States are interdependent, and that common economic interests have become a major support for the stability of the relationship. Does this shift mean a change in U.S. strategic thinking in the Asia-Pacific?
5.U.S. allies adjust their attitudes: Japan shows goodwill, and the Philippines plays with fire?
In the face of the U.S. adjustment in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan has shown favor to China, while the Philippines seems to be playing with fire in the South China Sea. Does the United States intend to use the Philippines as cannon fodder for a new round of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy"? Is such a role in the national interest of the Philippines?
6.The U.S. "scapegoat" strategy: the last stand to maintain hegemony?
Is the United States looking for a scapegoat to help itself maintain its strategic buffer space? At a time of hegemonic decline, will the United States be able to maintain its hegemony in this way? Perhaps, the cost of this strategy will be borne by the "scapegoats".
Epilogue. In this game between China and the United States, the situation in the Asia-Pacific region is unpredictable. While adjusting its strategy, the United States is trying to maintain the overall situation through its interaction with China. However, whether a balance can be found that meets the interests of all parties remains an unsolved mystery. After all, in the international political arena, there is no end to the variables.
Extended Analysis: The Unknown Situation of the Sino-US Game.
As U.S.-China interactions increase, changes in international relations become more complex. The U.S. strategic adjustment may be partly based on realistic considerations of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, but its true intentions are still unknown. In this game, the interaction between China and the United States is like a chess game, and each move is related to the direction of the whole situation.
Is China willing to be the "scapegoat" of the United States while safeguarding its own national interests? Will the United States be able to find a balance in the Asia-Pacific region that can maintain its hegemonic position without causing too much friction? These questions will be revealed in future interactions.
For allies in the Asia-Pacific region, how to maximize the benefits of the Sino-US game has become a more delicate challenge. Japan's overtures and the Philippines' impulsiveness are both examples of the diplomatic wisdom of various countries in this new era.
In general, the interaction between China and the United States will continue to be the focus of attention on the international political arena in the future. As an important engine of the world economy, the stability and turbulence of the Asia-Pacific region will affect the global pattern. We look forward to more dialogue and cooperation, but at the same time, we need to remain vigilant and observe every change in this complex international game. Only in this way can the international community work together to address challenges and build a more harmonious and stable future.
