An Analysis Of The Cognitive Difference And Its Mechanism Of ASEAN Countries Towards The U.S. "Indo-pacific Strategy"

The "Indo-Pacific Strategy"(FOIP)is a geopolitical confrontation framework proposed by the United States in the Indo-Pacific region in order to balance China’s development in terms of the strategic layout of security,economy,politics and other aspects in the context of Sino-US competition.Asean countries are at the junction of the Indian and Pacific Oceans and are at the center of the Indo-Pacific strategy.As the game between China and the US has spread to the Indo-Pacific region,ASEAN is faced with the difficult problem of how to make strategic choices between China and the US.Some ASEAN countries consider the "Indo-Pacific" strategy-related measures as opportunities,some as risks,and some as both opportunities and risks.Then,why do ASEAN countries have different perceptions of Indo-Pacific strategy? What are the trends in this perception? How should China respond? The existing results show that there are sufficient studies on ASEAN’s overall perception of "Indo-Pacific strategy",but few studies on the differences in perception of "Indo-Pacific strategy" within ASEAN.Therefore,the text aims to develop a new way of thinking--to explore the cognitive differences of ASEAN countries on "Indo-Pacific strategy" and the mechanism of cognitive generation.Through comparative case analysis,it is found that ASEAN’s cognition of "Indo-Pacific strategy" can be divided into opportunities,opportunities and risks.Starting from the economic,security and political perspectives of "Indo-Pacific strategy",this paper evaluates the degree of recognition of ASEAN countries to these three dimensions,and finally obtains the specific cognitive types of each country to "Indo-Pacific strategy".In each cognitive type,this paper chooses Singapore,Philippines and Myanmar as cases to carry out specific development,and basically verifies the above views after process tracking analysis.In recent years,in order to find a balance between China and the United States,ASEAN has constantly adjusted its policy towards China from the aspects of economy,security and politics.The policy direction is generally good,but there are still hidden dangers.Therefore,the following suggestions are proposed: to gather consensus and win political mutual trust;Expand fields and promote economic and trade cooperation;Relieve conflicts and reduce threat perception;Strengthen communication and promote social and cultural integration.
