东亚共同体与美国

An East Asian Community and the United States

"东亚共同体"问题与美国之间20年的关系(1990-2010年)扑朔迷离。美国在亚洲金融危机中的表现直接导致了它最不愿意看到的东亚共同体构想的产生。之后,它监视和反对东亚国家致力于建立东亚共同体的努力,力防经济竞争对手日本或社会主义中国主导未来的东亚共同体,企图以自己主导的亚太经合组织取而代之。然而,美国又要求参加东亚共同体。但美国不适宜成为东亚共同体的成员,一是因为它不是东亚经济板块上的国家,二是由于其现行的东亚政策不利于东亚共同体建立。但这并不妨碍它继续参与东亚经济。

The 20-year relationship （ 1990-2010} between the issue of An East Asian Community and the U. S. has been complicated and confusing. The behaviors of the U.S. during the period of the Asian Financial Crisis directly lead to the emergence of the idea of An East Asian Community which the U.S. dislikes most. After that, the U. S. has watched and opposed the efforts of the East Asian nations working at building the East Asian Community, forestalling Japan, her eco nomic rival, or socialist China to lead the coming East Asian Community, planning to replace the coming East Asian Community with APEC headed by the U. S. itself. Nevertheless, the U.S. asks to join the East Asian Community. But it is unsuitable to become the member of the East Asian Community, because the U.S. is not a nation belonging to the economic bloc of East Asia, and her current East Asian policies go against the establishment of the East Asian Community. However, the U. S. can continue to involve in the Asian economy even though it would be a non-member of the East Asian Community.
