Abstract:Since the Trump administration put forward the “Indo-Pacific Strategy” in 2017 and the “Indo-Pacific Strategy Report” in 2019,this strategy has completely replaced the “Asia-Pacific Rebalance Strategy” proposed by the Obama administration and has become the main strategic design of the United States in the Asia Pacific region. Subsequently,the Biden administration has made some new adjustments to this strategy. On the whole,the “Indo-Pacific Strategy” inherits the implementation scope and strategic purpose of the “Asia-Pacific Rebalance Strategy”. However,significant changes have taken place in strategic prospects and means. The main reasons for this change are the decline of American strategic confidence,the outbreak of American domestic social crises,and the rise of American tradition of coercing other powers. The cooperation of some regional countries also reduces the resistance to the strategic shift of the United States in the Asia Pacific region. This shift has had a negative impact on all parties in the Asia Pacific Region,including the deterioration of the geographical environment around China,the multiple dilemmas of U.S.regional allies and partners,the damage of U.S.strategic reputation,and the obstruction of the development of international mechanism and Globalization. Countries in the Asia Pacific region has benefited neither as a whole nor as an individual. Under this circumstance,China should strive to play a constructive role in the Indo-Pacific region on the basis of maintaining strategic stability.
