The Gray Zone Strategy of the United States in the Indo-Pacific:Implementation Path and Impact
The gray zone strategy refers to a process or a state of developing a specific means to cooperate with a specific path towards the situation of being below the threshold of war and ultimately achieving mili-tary security purposes.The United States takes the gray zone strategy as an important means to promote the implementation of the Indo-Pacific strategy,focusing on military,economic,diplomatic and cognitive war-fare and other major fields,through four implementation paths,such as issue correlation,three-wheel drive,parasitic,fishing in troubled waters,to achieve the purpose of implementing a comprehensive deter-rent strategy and imposing costs on competitors,and to meet the needs of new war styles.The gray zone strategy of the United States in the Indo-Pacific has made the relations between pan-security around regional countries and the fragmented cooperation in the security field,and it is easy to cause other countries in the region to follow this trend.This has also intensified the cold confrontation between China and the United States.However,differences in different domestic interest groups,doubts and resistance from allies and partners,and counter-biting effects will restrict the implementation of this strategy.
