What impact does the US Asia-Pacific "rebalancing strategy" have on China?
In this regard, Chen Bing, a senior commentator on international issues, pointed out that the "rebalancing" Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States is an upgraded version of America's return to Asia, which means that the United States will strengthen its involvement in Asia-Pacific affairs. Obviously, crowding out China's influence and obstructing China's claim to maritime sovereignty will restrict China's strategy of "maritime power". Russell's "rebalancing" strategy in Asia means that the United States will have a greater say in the Asia-Pacific region on the basis of the rebalancing of the Asia-Pacific pattern in the past few years. The idea of "rebalancing" has two meanings. First, after gaining the dominance of the situation in Northeast Asia, the United States will increase its involvement in Southeast Asia and strengthen its restrictions on China's sovereignty over the South China Sea; Second, after strengthening its military involvement in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States will launch an offensive in the fields of economy, energy, education, values, people-to-people exchanges and public diplomacy. And harvest economic achievements, use its soft power to influence Asian countries and gain popular support. The "rebalancing" of the United States has brought great challenges to China. On the South China Sea issue, the United States' increased involvement in Southeast Asia means that it will help its allies and oppose China's recovery of sovereignty by force. In other words, the United States will not let China go further, but will maintain the status quo, and maintain the status quo that many islands and sea areas in China are occupied and developed by Vietnamese, Philippine and other countries. In terms of soft power, American values are contaminated with universal values, and there is often a market, or it is easier to confuse Southeast Asian countries and squeeze China values that explicitly oppose universal values. Therefore, the Asia-Pacific proposition of "rebalancing" is an obvious strategic interception of China's going out to sea.
