World Wide Web (microblogging) correspondent Julia Tan reported that U.S. Secretary of Defense Panetta is currently on his Asia tour, the U.S. allies in Asia to ensure that, despite spending cuts will remain in the United States military presence in Asia. United States, “New York Times” October 24, commented that, Panetta, the message on behalf of the Obama administration a “new voice”, that is phased out as the U.S. war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. would now like to implementation of the “strategic center of gravity eastward” strategy to enhance the support of Asian allies, and to convey “counterbalance China,” a clear signal.

However, reports that the United States to implement the strategy is currently in a “difficult time.”

reported that, with other people, America’s Asian allies now see the weak U.S. economy, the Pentagon is facing the next decade at least $ 450 billion of budget cuts, and Democrats in the country is increasingly the United States The more isolated. Last week, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has also proposed a debate in the United States a number of overseas aid projects should be “outsourced” to China. He said: “We borrow money from China, then go to another country to provide humanitarian assistance, this does not make sense, we should allow China to take care of these people.”

In addition, the U.S. defense budget cut will also affect its presence in Asia. Writes reports, although Pentagon officials say no plans to reduce U.S. military personnel serving in the Pacific, do not plan to reduce the U.S. aircraft carrier in the region to stay, but next month, the department responsible for budget cuts no other choice may be forced to start automatically by red solution, and then the Pentagon’s budget cut $ 600 billion. Pentagon officials have said that this would be “catastrophic scene,” because it would force the U.S. to reduce the presence in the Pacific. Even a small number of American soldiers to withdraw, for example, 5,000 people, will also cause strong concern countries in the region.

In addition, the U.S. military modernization program is also the country led to some criticism. According to reports, the United States was that the Pentagon is using China’s military build-up for their expensive new weapons systems “defense”, while ignoring Beijing in economic, diplomatic and trade, and so give the “greater challenges.”

“If I only care about the military modernization program, we will neglect those challenges,” U.S. National Bureau of Asian Research think tank expert on China, a China expert before the U.S. Department of Defense ? Roy Kemp Stockhausen 24 said, “Air Force and Army needs to modernize its own reasons, not just based on newly emerging Chinese threat to development.”
