美国战略界对华政策反思及其认知误区

The American Strategic Community's Reflections on American Policy to China and Its Cognitive Errors

近几年来,美国战略界认为美国对华政策处于新的"十字路口",其对现有美国对华政策不断进行讨论和反思。反思之一,认为传统的通过对华接触达到对中国进行民主化改造的"改造论"是失败的;反思之二,认为传统的遏制中国发展的"遏制论"反而导致中国不断发展壮大,并体现出大国自信。在这种背景下,"改造论"和"遏制论"都认为现行美国对华政策应该调整,但如何调整?美国战略界又缺乏广泛共识。从学理上讲,美国战略界的"改造论"和"遏制论"都存在对华政策的认知误区,这种认知误区就其实质而言是基于西方中心主义的思维逻辑。

In recent years,the strategic community of the United States began to realize that the American policy to China lies in a new cross road and made continuous discussion and reflection on the current policy to China. The contents are as follows. For one thing,the traditional theory of modification is a failure that China can be changed through contacts with China. For the other thing,the traditional theory of containment leads to the steady development and growth of China and increases the self-confidence of China. Under such circumstance,both theories of modification and containment believe that the current American policy to China should be modified. According to the academic principle,both modification theory and containment theory have the cognitive errors on the policy toward China and such cognitive errors,in essence,is founded on the logic thoughts of western centrism.
