The Transformation of the Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Landscape under U.S."Shaping"Strategy
The"shaping"of cybersecurity policies towards U.S.allies in the Asia-Pacific area is a key component of the U.S.cybersecurity strategy.With a firmly established perception of cyberspace"securitization"and a relative advantage in both the information technology revolution and ideological competition,the United States has employed a comprehensive range of methods,including knowledge discipline,diplomatic interaction,and a combination of leadership and coercion,to"shape"the cybersecurity policies of its Asia-Pacific allies.Driven by shared needs for competition over national security interests,the struggle for regional dominance,and the containment of other emerging powers within the region,the cybersecurity policies of U.S.Asia-Pacific allies have undergone a comprehensive transformation in terms of security scope definition,identification of security interests,and responses to security threats.At the same time,China's active participation in international cyberspace governance has impacted the U.S.'s cybersecurity arrangements in the Asia-Pacific region.As a result,the current Asia-Pacific cybersecurity landscape is characterized by China and the U.S.as the two poles,with a dual focus on"development"and"security."Furthermore,Third World countries have,to some extent,alleviated tensions within the regional cyberspace.However,differences also exist among U.S.Asia-Pacific allies in terms of their cyberspace interests,their capacity to meet the"expectations"of U.S."shaping"strategy,and their preferences for actions in response to U.S."shaping"strategy.These differences may lead the U.S.to resolve internal conflicts within interest groups through multilateral mechanisms,while continuing to reinforce its ideological leadership in cyberspace,aiming to draw more regional and external forces into its sphere of influence.
