共建21世纪海上丝绸之路——走出东亚格局中的二元困境

Jointly Building the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road——moving away form the dilemma of dual dependency of East Asian pattern

传统东亚格局具有明显的一元化特点,无论是经济贸易还是政治安全都高度依赖美国。伴随中国经济的快速崛起,东亚经济体对美国的经济贸易依赖逐步被中国所取代,从而形成当前东亚地区格局中的二元困境,即政治安全依赖美国,而经济贸易依赖中国。同时20世纪90年代末金融危机后逐步形成的东亚传统的合作模式也遭遇多层面挑战。中国新一届政府提出的建设21世纪海上丝绸之路的战略构想,基础扎实、背景厚重、举措有力、开放度高、统领力强,在区域合作架构上实现了一系列重大突破,也为走出东亚格局中的二元困境开启了可行路径。中国是构建21世纪海上丝绸之路的发起者,东盟是21世纪海上丝绸之路的重点地区,通过共建21世纪海上丝绸之路,中国与东盟关系将发展到全新阶段,提升至更高水平。

Traditionally,the pattern of East Asia has a unitary feature,economy and trade,politics and security both depending heavily upon the US. As China’s economy rises fast,East Asia is caught in a dilemma of dual dependency,with its economy and trade more on China,while politics and security still on the US.Meanwhile,the traditional cooperation mode of East Asia,the leading force,has been facing multifaceted challenges,as an effect of the 1990s’ financial crisis. At this backdrop,the new leadership of China put forth a strategic initiative of building the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road;it marks a major breakthrough of the regional cooperation framework,and will be a feasible path for East Asia to move out of the dilemma of dual dependency.With China as the initiator of the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road,and the ASEAN as the bridgehead,by working together on the Maritime Silk Road,they will push their relationship up to a new stage of a higher level.
