Recently, the US grasps the importance of the naval threat China is causing to the US and its allies in the East Asian Seas in the foreseeable future. Therefore, this paper focuses on strategy and operation of deployed US military forces, mostly about the US naval forces. Under these circumstances, the ultimate objective of this paper is to examine the US' containment strategy against China and its security commitment toward its allies and security partners in East Asia region. The US has still maintained its large naval forces in East Asia while the US Navy has been sharply reduced in Europe. The US should conduct a policy that is more preventive than offshore balancing for the prevention of enemy's competition. Moreover, the policy should be more proactive and threatening than selective engagement. Under this circumstance, the US has been using containment strategy by mostly using naval forces against China's naval expansion in the East Asian Seas. The main goal of US containment strategy against China is to prevent Chinese naval expansion. As a maritime based great power, the US, could effectively display naval forces to support its grand strategy. At the same time, the US has sought naval mastery in the East Asian Seas to increase their relative power against potential challengers such as China. It is also reasonable for the US to support its allies and security partners under the name of security commitment in the East Asian Seas. The US has finally decided to contain China in the region. In particular, the US has been containing against potentially threatening China by using naval forces.
Abstract
Recently, the US grasps the importance of the naval threat China is causing to the US and its allies in the East Asian Seas in the foreseeable future. Therefore, this paper focuses on strategy and operation of deployed US military forces, mostly about the US naval forces. Under these circumstances, the ultimate objective of this paper is to examine the US' containment strategy against China and its security commitment toward its allies and security partners in East Asia region. The US has still maintained its large naval forces in East Asia while the US Navy has been sharply reduced in Europe. The US should conduct a policy that is more preventive than offshore balancing for the prevention of enemy's competition. Moreover, the policy should be more proactive and threatening than selective engagement. Under this circumstance, the US has been using containment strategy by mostly using naval forces against China's naval expansion in the East Asian Seas. The main goal of US containment strategy against China is to prevent Chinese naval expansion. As a maritime based great power, the US, could effectively display naval forces to support its grand strategy. At the same time, the US has sought naval mastery in the East Asian Seas to increase their relative power against potential challengers such as China. It is also reasonable for the US to support its allies and security partners under the name of security commitment in the East Asian Seas. The US has finally decided to contain China in the region. In particular, the US has been containing against potentially threatening China by using naval forces.
