从美国副总统哈里斯东南亚之行看拜登政府的“算计”

On Calculation of the Biden Administration in Terms of U.S. Vice President Harris’ Trip to Southeast Asia

2021年,美国副总统哈里斯对新加坡和越南进行了访问,这是美国拜登政府对东南亚展开外交攻势的重要活动。哈里斯向停泊在新加坡军港的美军士兵发表演讲,号召他们去“创造历史”;在与越南国家领导人会谈时,表示希望允许更多的美国军舰访问越南。东南亚之行,哈里斯的重点之一是宣示美军的军力。可见,拜登政府对东南亚的外交政策最重要的部分就是动用武装力量,宣示美国实力,维护美国利益,建立“和平、繁荣的印太地区”只不过是其动武的“遮羞布”而已。

In 2021, United States Vice President Kamala Harris visited Singapore and Vietnam which was an important part of the Biden administration’s diplomatic offensive in Southeast Asia. Harris spoke to the US soldiers docked at Singapore naval port, calling on them to "shape a great history of the 21stCentury". In talks with Vietnamese state leaders, she demanded that more U.S. warships would be allowed to visit Vietnam’s seaports. What the vice president had in mind and has been talking about all the way down was how to let the US military show off its power in Southeast Asia. It can be seen that the most important part of the Biden administration’s foreign policy towards Southeast Asia is to use armed forces to assert its strength to safeguard the interests of the U.S., and building a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region is just a fig leaf for its use of force.
