Trump Administration's Indo-Pacific Strategy And China's Response

The Asia-Pacific region is influenced by its geographical location and has a special geostrategic value,occupying an important seat in the world political landscape.At the same time,the Asia-Pacific region is the most dynamic region for global economic growth,playing an important role in leading the world's economic development.Therefore,the Asia-Pacific region has always been the strategic focus of some major powers.For the United States,the Asia-Pacific strategy has become an important part of its global strategy.After successive US administrations took office,they have continuously adjusted their Asia-Pacific strategy to ensure the interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region.However,with the rapid rise of China in recent years,China's regional influence has also been continuously improved.Especially after the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative,China's Indo-China property has been continuously enlarged,and its influence in the Indo-Pacific region has been continuously improved.In addition,the strategic position of the Indian Ocean and India has become increasingly prominent.After Trump took office,in order to maintain the US hegemony in the Asian region and ensure the US's dominance in Asia,the "Asia-Pacific" will be included in the broader "Indo-Pacific"."The Indo-Pacific strategy was introduced to strengthen US military intervention in the Indo-Pacific region and expand the US alliance system,especially to win over India to contain China's development." It can be seen that the Trump administration's Indo-Pacific strategy has obvious Chinese orientation.The Indo-Pacific strategy has further highlighted the importance of the geopolitical position of the South China Sea.The United States has participated in the South China Sea issue through the Operation of Freedom of Navigation,which has caused the South China Sea issue to heat up.This has also become the main platform for the United States to successfully introduce and play a role in India.In addition,in order to promote the Indo-Pacific strategy through Taiwan,the Trump administration has continuously developed US-Taiwan relations and publicly questioned the "one-China principle",which has seriously violated China's territory and sovereignty.Secondly,the Trump administration has included India into the US-Indian strategy to contain China,which has seriously affected the bilateral relationship between China and India.At the same time,the Trump administration's Indo-Pacific strategy has also facilitated Japan's revision of the peace constitution and the development of military power,which has caused the deterioration of China's surrounding environment.Finally,the Sino-US trade dispute that is currently receiving much attention is reflected in the contest of the strategic will of China and the United States.In response to the influence of the Trump administration's Indo-Pacific strategy on China,on the one hand,China can maintain and improve China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region through its own development.On the other hand,we will build a new type of relationship between China and the United States to maintain the overall stability of Sino-US relations.At the same time,properly resolve Sino-US trade disputes.In addition,China can also use the “Belt and Road Initiative” to develop relations with countries along the line in order to secure the neutrality of these countries in the Indo-Pacific strategy.
