The logic of the strategy adjustment of US Asia-Pacific allies to China:Based on the"cost-benefit"analysis of alliance strategic coupling
After the Cold War,the rise of China's power has caused the strategic adjustment of the United States and its Asia-Pacific allies to China,and the direction of adjustment is different.By constructing the analysis frame of alliance strategic coupling effect,this paper outlines the general outline of the strategic adjustment process of US Asia-Pacific allies to China.In other words,according to the evaluation results of the strategic costs and benefits of China under the influence of the current situation of strategic coupling,the Asia-Pacific allies of the United States adjust the effect of its strategic coupling with the United States and form the result of its strategic adjustment to China.Taking the Philippines and Australia as examples,this paper verifies the re-search hypothesis by analyzing the strategic adjustments to China of the Aquino Ⅲ,Duterte,Turnbull and Morrison governments.The research shows that the matching degree of the strate-gic costs and benefits of the Asia-Pacific allies to China affects the adjustment of their strategic coupling with the United States,and then determines the direction of the strategic adjustment of the Asia-Pacific allies to China.Therefore,China should reasonably evaluate the cost and bene-fit status of the US Asia-Pacific allies'China strategy,increase the cost of their strategic adjust-ment to China and reduce the impact of strategic coupling on expected benefits,so as to guide them to adjust their friendly strategy to China.
