The George W. Bush administration launched the Global War on Terror after "9·11", which began a new round of global strategic expansion, resulting in the United States hegemony strength into decline. The Obama administration has taken a series of strategic measures in the fields of economic, security and diplomatic, in order to keep the hegemony status of the United States in the world, consolidate and expand the United States hegemony interests and strategic influence. The Obama administration abandoned the unilateralism security strategy, pays more attention to the use of multilateral mechanisms, the setting up of the "partner" diplomacy philosophy, and the use of strategic "smart power". In the global strategic deployment, the Obama administration promotes the United States "return to Asia", actively influence and participate in the economy and politics intergration process, trying to recover the strategy "lost territory", protecting the dominance in the Asia Pacific region.
