Abstract

Abstract:The architects of US strategy in Asia have advanced a bold vision for a "free and open Indo-Pacific" but have paid less attention to China's views and responses. This article surveys perceptions of Chinese strategists toward the Trump administration's regional approach, arguing that China's analytic community came to see US strategy as largely focused on the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue. The most frequent Chinese prescription was a wedge strategy to weaken support for the United States among the other three Quad states: Japan, India, and Australia. Evidence from Chinese public diplomacy during the Trump years is consistent with such an approach. Yet the increase in assertive actions targeting the Quad partners revealed other impulses guiding policymakers and ultimately brought the four states more closely together. The Biden administration has an opportunity to leverage China's inability to successfully execute a wedge strategy to strengthen support for US influence and goals in the region.

中国对美国2017-2021年亚洲战略的看法

摘要：美国在亚洲战略的制定者提出了“自由开放的印太”的大胆愿景，但很少关注中国的观点和回应。这篇文章调查了中国战略家对特朗普政府地区做法的看法，认为中国的分析界开始认为美国的战略主要集中在四方安全对话上。中国最频繁的处方是采取楔形战略，以削弱对美国和其他三个四方国家（日本、印度和澳大利亚）的支持。特朗普时代中国公共外交的证据与这种做法是一致的。然而，针对四方合作伙伴的果断行动的增加揭示了指导政策制定者的其他冲动，并最终使四国更加紧密地团结在一起。拜登政府有机会利用中国无法成功实施楔形战略的优势，加强对美国在该地区影响力和目标的支持。
