초록
The rise of China in Asia (and the world) is one of the principal challenges facing U.S. foreign policy. The multiple roles China now plays in Asia have been felt in a number of areas*diplomatically, economically, culturally, militarily, and multilaterally. These roles and the issues they present for Washington have been hotly debated in the United States. A consensus has emerged that there are both cooperative as well as competitive dimensions to the Sino-American regional relationship in Asia. This article explores these various dimensions by asking seven questions concerning the impact of China’s roles on American interests. Concerning these seven key strategic questions, the author concludes that China is not trying to push the United States out of Asia; China is not undermining bilateral U.S. relations in the region; Beijing’s multilateral diplomacy is a challenge to the U.S. regional role; China’s economic strength is important but still small compared with the United States and Japan; Beijing’s soft power is rising but not eclipsing America’s; China’s growing military power is an increasing challenge and concern for the U.S. military; and that a U.S. policy that seeks to forestall China’s regional rise is counterproductive.
Abstract
The rise of China in Asia (and the world) is one of the principal challenges facing U.S. foreign policy. The multiple roles China now plays in Asia have been felt in a number of areas*diplomatically, economically, culturally, militarily, and multilaterally. These roles and the issues they present for Washington have been hotly debated in the United States. A consensus has emerged that there are both cooperative as well as competitive dimensions to the Sino-American regional relationship in Asia. This article explores these various dimensions by asking seven questions concerning the impact of China’s roles on American interests. Concerning these seven key strategic questions, the author concludes that China is not trying to push the United States out of Asia; China is not undermining bilateral U.S. relations in the region; Beijing’s multilateral diplomacy is a challenge to the U.S. regional role; China’s economic strength is important but still small compared with the United States and Japan; Beijing’s soft power is rising but not eclipsing America’s; China’s growing military power is an increasing challenge and concern for the U.S. military; and that a U.S. policy that seeks to forestall China’s regional rise is counterproductive.
