中美亚太互动与地区共同体的构建

Sino-U.S. Interactions in the Asia-Pacific and Construction of A Regional Community

本文回顾了后冷战时代中美两国在亚太地区互动的演变过程,总结了其特点。展望未来,中美亚太互动存在三种前景:合作主导型、竞争主导型、混合型(经济合作加地缘政治竞争)。鉴于亚太地区的发展大势,中美亚太互动路径的理性选择就是推进地区合作与一体化,构建共同遵守的规则和共同参与的地区机制,打造地区共同体。中美应该共同塑造一个一体化的而非割裂的亚太,一个合作而非对立的亚太,一个更加平等的亚太,一个以有效的机制和公正合理的规则为依托的亚太。为此目的,中国需要创新政策工具、更好地发挥引领作用,美国则需要调整思维、更新观念,合理界定其在亚太的地位与作用。

This paper examines the evolution of Sino-U.S.interactions in the Asia-Pacific region since the end of the Cold War and summarizes its main features.Looking into the future,there exists three patterns of interactions between the two countries:cooperation,competition,and a blend of economic cooperation plus geopolitical competition.Given the prevailing trend in the developments of the Asia-Pacific,China and the United States should make a rational choice by promoting regional cooperation and integration,setting common rules and establishing regional mechanisms participated by all parties,and creating a regional community.The two countries should work together to shape an integrated,cooperative,more equal regional order buttressed by effective mechanisms and fair,reasonable rules.To that end,China needs to pursue more innovative policies and play a more active leadership role,while the United States needs to adjust its thinking and upgrade its ideas,appropriately defining its position and role in the region.
