Pentagon announced on March 26, the United States through cooperation with Japan, Australia, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and other countries in Asia and the Middle East to establish a similar to the European missile defense system, defense system, against the potential threat from Iran and North Korea “.

This is another important trend in the U.S. strategy in East Asia will be China’s security environment to generate three important effects. The missile is a core part of China’s regional deterrence capability, is the most real meaning of the trump card. After the founding of the U.S. anti-missile system in Asia, China to curb external military strike deterrence around the capacity will be severely weakened. At the same time, on the basis of the bilateral military alliance, by the establishment of the Asian anti-missile system, the United States will further accelerate the United States, Japan, the establishment of two triangular military alliance in the United States, Japan and Australia, and then other countries into the United States against China’s strategic system , and build a complete and unified strategic encirclement of China. More important, the U.S. anti-missile system in Asia is ultimately against intercontinental ballistic missiles, once built, was limited nuclear counterattack ability will be greatly weakened, China will be a serious strategic imbalance greatly reduce China to develop domestic and foreign policies degrees of freedom. Precisely because of fear of losing the basic capability of nuclear counterattacks, Russia uncompromising opposition to the U.S. anti-missile system in Europe. At present, China has begun to face the same danger.

Therefore, the U.S. anti-missile system in Asia is a Gentleman, China will never be taken lightly, unless as soon as possible to strengthen their own military forces, create a strong pattern of regional security is particularly important.

first help toward strengthening the military. Although the name of the banner for the North Korean nuclear issue in the Asia-Pacific region, the Korean military forces enhance China’s security, the strengthening of the North Korean military capabilities means that China strengthen the ability of US checks and balances. Policy toward North Korea should not be for the United States pressed North Korea, but should help towards the strengthening the military, to get rid of the DPRK-US relations, whether warming or tension, China will feel the passive state.

Second, the alliance with Russia and the DPRK. China and Russia face similar strategic situation for the U.S. global strategic objectives. From a geopolitical point of view to see the U.S. strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific region, Chinese strategic pressure mainly from the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, Russia is also actively to the development of the Asia-Pacific direction, but Russia in the Asia Pacific are also subject to the extrusion of the United States and its military alliance with the common interests of the contradiction with the United States is greater than, greater than contradiction with the common interests of China. While a key common strategic interests of China and Russia in East Asia, especially Northeast Asia, a strategic relationship with the U.S. alliance system of checks and balances, balanced strategic posture. Sino-Russian strategic cooperation is the basis to achieve this goal, and North Korea as a bastion of the external position is also essential. As long as China and Russia towards the strategic relationship strengthened in Northeast Asia will not appear on the big turmoil, the stability of the region there is the basic guarantee.

integration in East Asia. The United States “to return to East Asia since the surge in the internal contradictions of the East Asian region, originally smooth development of cooperation in facing the derailment risk. China to improve the security environment and strategic position, we must first improve the geopolitical structure in East Asia, changing the external forces to manipulate the situation of the affairs of the East Asian region, to promote the integration of East Asia. The economic relationship is the basis of cooperation in East Asia, we must resolutely prevent the East Asian economic cooperation between the trans-Pacific economic relations, such as TPP and the like overhead and dilution. China must have strategic vision, natural vision along the market rather than a businessman. In addition, regional political and security affairs, China will also increase the intensity of participation, gradually become important and even leading force in dealing with regional affairs.
