Your concern is my motivation, and your encouragement will be our driving force! Follow me and you'll read my recent blog post that in recent years, China's growing military might has made the United States realize that it is unrealistic to continue to maintain its hegemony in Asia. The United States is looking for a new response to China's expanding Asia-Pacific influence. On this basis, the US "Foreign Affairs" has formulated a new set of strategies from the pursuit of hegemony to balance.
The basic idea of the equilibrium strategy.
The main idea of the balancing strategy is to work together with other Asian powers to contain China's hegemonic position in the world. The United States should focus its attention on the industrialized countries of India, Japan, and South Korea, and help them build defense forces and reduce their economic dependence on China. Only in this way can the security rights and interests of these countries be safeguarded and their voice in Asia strengthened.
From a practical point of view, the United States should help its allies strengthen their self-defense capabilities and share security responsibilities through military cooperation. During this period, the United States should also play a supporting role in its all-round armed confrontation with China. For example, closer ties with Vietnam and a defense cooperation and co-manufacturing agreement with India have encouraged allies and partners to procure lower-grade, more mobile military equipment to achieve an overall balance of military power.
Control strategies for key waterways.
The control of major shipping lanes is a key element of the balancing strategy. In particular, the Strait of Malacca, the South China Sea, and the East China Sea are all key waterways in Asia, and as long as they are captured, they can control the trade of the whole of Asia. So the U.S. should work with India, Japan, the Philippines, and Singapore to secure vital waters.
If the United States can grasp an important shipping lane, it will be able to better achieve its goals in Asia, and at the same time, it will be able to form a strong balance of power against China.
Problems and challenges faced by balancing strategies.
However, while achieving balanced development, there are also certain problems and challenges. First, the balancing strategy requires the United States to liberate itself from its military domination in Asia and turn to allies and partners to collaborate on an equal footing. This part contradicts the long-standing strategic objectives of the United States in Asia, and it is difficult for some countries to agree with them.
Second, the balancing strategy requires the construction of a solid and stable alliance system. However, the process of building alliances in Asia has been slow and far from what it should be. And Washington must make it clear to its allies that there are limits to U.S. involvement and that this issue must be addressed.
Overall, a balanced strategy is a sustainable way to sustain U.S. interests in Asia for decades to come. However, achieving a balanced strategy requires the United States to break away from its previous concept, abandon its military dominance, and establish a mutually beneficial strategic partnership among Asian countries.
However, whether China can achieve this goal is very different from the strategic goals it achieves. China is not seeking regional hegemony, so the U.S. balancing strategy has no goal. Moreover, China's military power has gained absolute superiority in Asia, and it is difficult for large countries such as the Philippines and Japan to establish their leading position if they rely solely on US aid and assistance. Therefore, it is still unknown whether the United States can really contain China's "hegemony".
The conclusion is that the United States has adopted a balanced response in Asia in the face of China's expanding influences. The strategy focuses on strengthening collaboration with Asian countries to maintain security and stability in Asia. However, whether or not this balancing strategy can be successfully implemented depends on whether the United States can break the stereotype and carry out reciprocal cooperation and cooperation with Asian countries. However, in the process of achieving balanced development, there are also many problems and problems, and the US sense of hegemony in the world is the most important issue. In any case, in order to contain China's "hegemony", in addition to force, it is necessary to have a more comprehensive and practical strategic thinking. We look forward to the future when the United States, China and other Asian countries will join hands and work together to promote peace and development in Asia.
