The American Denial Deterrence Strategy in"Indo-Pacific"Region
The denial deterrence of the United States in the"Indo-Pacific"region is an important means of advancing its"Indo-Pacific"strategy.It is characterized by emphasizing the multi-dimensional denial effect,flexible use of multiple deterrent means,and mobilizing the participation of multi-actors.In the implementation of the denial deterrence strategy,the United States has intensified the strategic game between major countries at the regional level,triggered the escalation of tension in the regional security situation,and impacted the balance of power in the"Indo-Pacific"region to a certain extent.However,the United States'denial deterrence in the"Indo-Pacific"region will continue to be constrained by factors such as the restriction of strategic resources and coordination space caused by a relative decline in the strength and status,the formation of strategic synergy caused by partner countries'suspicion and distrust,and the uncertainty of the strategic environment caused by the improvement of the area denial ability of the"Indo-Pacific"countries,such as China.The ability development,subjective will,and firm determination of most countries in the"Indo-Pacific"region in shaping the security order at this stage will become the decisive variables of the future"Indo-Pacific"security order.
