The Analysis Of Biden Administration’s Indo-Pacific Strategy

With the rise of China,India and other emerging economies in Asia and the eastward shift of the world’s economic center,the Indo-Pacific region has become the center of the world’s geopolitical economy.In order to dominate affairs in the Indo-Pacific region and contain the peaceful rise of China,the Biden administration continued to develop the Indo-Pacific strategy under the Trump administration,indicating that the United States would strengthen its influence in the Indo-Pacific region and maintain its dominance in the region.In order to maintain the U.S.leadership in the Indo-Pacific region,Biden continued to introduce the Indo-Pacific strategy after taking office.The strategy aims at the following five points: promoting freedom and openness in the Indo-Pacific region,reshaping the US alliance system,strengthening the US domestic economic weaknesses,promoting integrated deterrence in the Indo-Pacific region,and coping with non-traditional security threats.These strategic goals also reflect the Biden administration’s urgent need to strengthen ties with the Indo-Pacific region in order to enhance U.S.influence there.The Biden administration has been pushing forward the implementation of the Indo-Pacific Strategy.Politically,it will promote US-Taiwan relations to contain China,co-opt and support India to counterbalance China,support the centrality of ASEAN,expand US-Japan-South Korea cooperation,and strengthen its presence in the Pacific island countries.On the economic front,the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework will be introduced to strengthen infrastructure construction and emphasize supply chain security.Militarily,strengthen military input in the Indo-Pacific region,establish and implement the AUKUS Alliance,and encourage NATO to counter China.The Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy has received positive responses from some countries and started to push forward relevant measures.The Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy is an adjustment and upgrade of the Trump administration’s Indo-Pacific Strategy,which aims to contain China and maintain its dominant position in the Indo-Pacific region.Through a comparative analysis of the Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific Strategy and the Trump administration’s Indo-Pacific Strategy,both sides advocate maintaining the dominant position of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region,strengthening its military power in the region and containing the rise of China.However,with the change of the political and economic situation in the Indo-Pacific region,the change of the US government and the personal factors of the leaders,the Indo-Pacific strategy launched by Biden after he took office is very different from that of Trump.The United States has specific differences in its positioning of the Indo-Pacific region,its special positioning of China and its attitude toward Allies and partnerships.By analyzing and studying the Indo-Pacific strategy of the Biden administration,it is helpful to understand the development trend of the Indo-Pacific strategy of the US government and better reveal the overall trend of the US foreign policy strategy.
