中美关系与亚太地区格局

China-U.S.Relations and the Setup of Asia-Pacific Region

亚太地区是中美利益的交汇区,中美战略关系的发展直接影响地区格局的走向,同样,地区格局的演变也影响着中美关系。未来,在亚太地区,中美之间既存在着广泛的共同利益,有着较大的合作空间,但双方也存在着明显的战略取向的冲突。美国将追求维持其对亚太地区的主导地位,实现所谓＂美国治下的和平＂;而中国坚持主张国际政治民主化,以完全平等的方式与亚太国家发展合作关系。这种理念差异和政策取向将对亚太地区战略格局产生影响。

The Asia-Pacific region is a confluence area where interests of China and the U.S.meet together.Development in China-U.S.strategic relationship will have direct impact on the alignment of the regional setup.Likewise,evolution and changes in that setup will also produce an effect on that relationship.In the near future,not only will China and the U.S.have wide-ranging common interests to share,where there will be enough room for their cooperation,but they will also find themselves in conflict over obvious differences in strategic options.The U.S.will seek to maintain its leading position in the region with a hope of realizing its goal of 'Pax Americana'.On the other hand,China persists in advocating democratization of international politics and promoting cooperation with other Asia-Pacific countries on an equal basis.Differences in this sort of concepts and policy selections between the two sides are likely to bring about effects to the strategic setup in Asia-Pacific region.
