The latest issue of Japan’s “Chinese Guide” published by the JCC New Japan Research Institute, Chang Gung Yan’s article, “U.S. action was not so big threat to the South China Sea.” The article said that the United States a series of recent actions by China, is a strategic new ideas? Is that the United States is prepared to China’s “showdown”, “Sword”? The answer seems to be negative. These actions will not change the basic trend of the future United States and East Asia and even the pace of development may not be affected.
Article excerpts are as follows:
Recently by the United States, “Clinton declared that U.S. interests”, “joint military exercise in Vietnam,” “involved in the South China Sea dispute,” etc, and continuously in the South China Sea to China, said that strong ties to the military exercise with South Korea in the Yellow Sea, described as “menacing.” These U.S. actions are strategic new ideas? Is that the United States is prepared to China’s “showdown”, “Sword”? The answer seems to be no.
U.S. action without new ideas
U.S. encirclement around China to build the so-called “first island chain” to the “second island chain”, there are still remains. U.S. military activities in the South China Sea and other Chinese coastal waters is not started today. Slightly compare, you can guess the recent U.S. actions are mostly “old tricks” and nothing new.
Concerning China’s sovereignty and core interests from the perspective of “Taiwan Relations Act” includes a few years ago with Japan’s “Contingency” bill, are all was a breakthrough in the move. Today’s action does not reach the United States as the extent that the frame did not break through in the past. While the U.S. government with a number of new words, but it has not built a new policy, but it did not fully subvert the courage and strength of Sino-US relations.
August 20, Japan’s “Yomiuri Shimbun” reported that the three messages: First, the United States sent aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea to give up, accused of taking into account the attitude of China; second US-Japan “won the island of exercise”, immediately expressed concern about Taiwan, see differences in the interests of all parties; third more military exercises with the United States in Vietnam from top to bottom lukewarm response. These are the release of unfavorable information to the United States, that the United States to intervene in the South China Sea, China’s attitude to face, between the interests of all parties and weigh the parties choose. These are not anything new in the United States a few little tricks can be about.
Shows that the number of recent U.S. actions have not new significance, will not change America and East Asia, the basic trend of the future, and even the development of rhythm is not likely to be affected. United States policy did not invent anything new “cure”, only from the past in a big direct “interference” Zhuanbian the indirect, sow discord Xing “broken”, a bit like the guerrillas threw to both sides of the enemy camp the “grenade” rise to a “Zi Xiang conflict” means.
Inability to challenge the U.S. military in China
U.S. policy toward China are nothing new, there is a reason. Of course, the most fundamental changes in power relations. Regardless of our economic strength for all to see both sides one after another, unable to talk about the international environment on the growth and decline of conservatism and other changes at low tide. Just give a talk about the hot topic recently: “China’s second”, it illustrates the strength of the U.S. real situation in mind.
Sino-US balance in East Asia overall strength, front setting and institutional environment together a variety of factors such as competition, co-ordination down to form a strategic balance. This situation is undoubtedly more favorable to China is conducive to peaceful development is conducive to stability in East Asia, including the American people but also conducive to peace-loving feelings. Therefore, the United States than in China is strong, but the U.S. military’s inability to really challenge the Chinese, especially in countries in the door, even more so.
