美国高调拉近与东盟关系及其影响

USA:Closer Relations with ASEAN Countries in High-Profile and Its Impact

受阿富汗和伊拉克战争等问题的牵制,美国对东南亚地区事务无暇过多顾及。虽然美国通过反恐加强了与一些东盟国家的合作,但在东南亚的影响却在削弱。然而,2009年以来,奥巴马政府采取了一系列外交动作,高调重返东南亚。美国此举对今后中国与东盟国家关系会带来多大影响尚待观察。

Busy with the war in Afghanistan and lraq, the United States of America does not act much in Southeast Asia. Despite the counter-terrorism cooperation with some ASEAN countries, the US only witnesses its influence declining in the region. Since2009, the Obama Administration has taken a series of diplomatic initiatives and expanded its involvement in Southeast Asia. It remains to be seen how these moves will affect China＇ s relations with ASEAN countries.
