Analysis of the Evolution of the U.S.Asia-Pacific Strategic System Based on Field Theory
With the transformation in the"time"and"trend"of the international community,the international political landscape has undergone key changes,and the evolution of the U.S.Asia-Pacific strategy has attracted widespread attention from academia.Based on the model of the field theory,combined with the strategic development of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region since the end of the Second World War,it can be found that the dual effects of strong positional advantages and high threat perception have influenced the emergence of the hub-and-spokes system.Weak positional advantages and high threat perception have stimulated the establishment of the minilateral alliance system.Since the end of the Second World War,the U.S.Asia-Pacific strategic architecture has evolved from the hub-and-spokes system to the American-style minilateral"latticework"of alliances and partnerships.Against the backdrop of changes in the power comparison between China and the U.S.and the escalation of geopolitical games,the U.S.Asia-Pacific strategy also shows a dual form of change and constancy.The change lies in the United States'weakened positional advantage in the Asia-Pacific,while the constancy is reflected in its continued high degree of threat perception in the Asia-Pacific field,all serving to maintain U.S.hegemony.In view of this,China can effectively respond by optimizing the regional opening layout to strengthen its influence,exploring new models of interaction both within and outside the region,and enhancing the effectiveness of international communication,thereby gaining strategic initiative in international competition.
