日美同盟的新特点与新趋向

The New Features and Dynamics of the Japan-US Alliance

在新的时代背景下,日美同盟在调适过程中呈现出诸多新特点:针对中国的指向性更明显;全球性色彩更加浓重;由单向军事依赖型逐渐向平等、互助型关系转变。推动日美同盟的变动与调整的力量要素有:日美均视崛起的中国为"对手"或"关切";美国在实力相对受损的背景下为护持其亚太地区霸权,进一步向日本"让利""放权";美国民主党政府重视利用和调度同盟体系为其全球战略服务,提升对日本的战略重视;日本防卫体制改革及防卫能力的提升,使同盟的对等化成为可能。在国际格局深刻调整的背景下,日美两国将进一步谋求同盟的扩容、扩边,并继续保持强化和拓展态势。

Against the new backdrop, the Japan-US alliance presents some new features: more obvious hostility to China, more global actions, more equality and mutual assistance. Many elements promote the Japan-US alliance to change and adjust. Both Japan and the US regard a rising China as an adversary. America cedes more profits and decentralizes more power to Japan in order to protect its hegemony in the Asia Pacific region. Japan defense reform improves its defense capability. The Democratic Party of the United States values the alliance to serve its global strategy and enhances strategic importance of Japan. The Japan-US alliance will further seek to expand its capacity, and continue to maintain its expansion under the adjustment of the international pattern.
