Abstract
The East Asian strategy is one of the links in the global strategy of the U.S., it is also a crucial part of its national security strategy. Following the end of the Cold War as well as the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the global strategy of the US has been adjusted with the developments of the international situation: firstly, it has to ensure national security, so as to secure its leading status in the world; secondly, it has to develop economy, so as to ensure its superpower position in the world; thirdly, it has to magnify its democratic politics, so as to foster America’s interests in the world.
The contents of America’s East Asian strategy have been mainly presented at the ideas of the Bush Adminstration’s “Pacific Community” and the Clinton Adminstration’s “Neo-Pacific Community”. With the ideas, the U.S. has promoted democratization of politics, liberalization of economy and trade and maintenance of regional peace and stability in the East Asian nations through the congagement policy, and hoped to facilitate China’s “peaceful evolution” through the alliance of East Asian nations.
Confronting the Western claims of “China threat” theory and “peaceful evolution strategy”, China has advocated “The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence”, “good neighborhood diplomacy”, “great power diplomacy” and establishment of “Shanghai Cooperative Organization” with six nations in Central Asia. Recently, China has also used various opportunities to propose their theory of “peaceful ascendancy” to the international community in the hopes of being understood that China’s peaceful development is neither an obstacle nor a threat to the world.
Since 9/11 incident, the East Asian strategy of the U.S. has been centered on “anti-terrorism” to establish anti-terrorism alliance with the East Asian nations. Mainly due to the close cooperation on anti-terrorism, the relationship of China and the U.S. has been greatly improved. However, since NATO’s expansion to the east, the Afghan regime, the backyard of China, has been dominated by the U.S. In addition to establishing a partner relationship with Russia, the U.S. has also built up military bases in the Central Asia and reinforced military power in the Pacific. To compound matters, the line of “fan-shaped containment” that U.S. has deployed at China’s east coast, has formed a strategic containment by besieging China’s front and rear yards.
In order to break through America’s containment, China has continued to oppose against America’s “peaceful evolution”, “China threat theory” and “China collapse theory”, and as is the case, the theory of China’s “peaceful ascendancy” has therefore uprisen. However, China’s claim for “peaceful ascendancy” shows a conflict by its missile deployment aiming at Taiwan and mainland of the U.S. It might affect a future trilateral relationship among the U.S., China and Taiwan.
