Rebalancing won't impede China's rise
By Global Times
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced at the Shangri-La Dialogue that the US government would deploy 60 percent of its fleet and overseas-based air forces to the Asia-Pacific region by 2020. The new deployment is said to achieve a "strategic rebalancing" in this region. The announcement is not a new development, but can be seen as a confirmation of Obama's Asia-Pacific strategy in his second term.
This strategic rebalancing is reportedly comprised of many aspects, such as politics, economics, culture and military.
Considering the Trans Pacific Partnership, also known as TPP, which holds an uncertain future, the military aspect is the most eye-catching part of this "rebalancing."
The redeployment of the US fleet and air force is merely an easily-achieved effort to comfort the US' allies. China's rise stems from economic growth, a trend that cannot be impeded by the relocation of American warships.
China's rise is built on the world-wide development of human cultures and technologies. China is proving the possibility of establishing civilized order in a super-sized community where 1.3 billion people live. Compared with the inner strength driving China's rise, these tricks played by the US are inconsequential.
China will not disrupt its own pace to fully engage itself with America's strategic rebalancing. China is becoming more confident at protecting its own strategic security rather than challenging the interests of the US in the Asia-Pacific region.
The US military redeployment will only intensify the situation in this region, which ultimately will bring harm to the US as much as it does China.
Besides, other countries in this region will not benefit. The US' relationship with the Asia-Pacific region will determine its future.
The military redeployment is a self-deceiving and misguiding effort to check and balance China. This is also an embodiment of the fact that the US is nearly exhausted when it comes to dealing with China's rise.
Some Chinese scholars consider this new strategy a "crippled rebalancing," in which the military has been focused upon too much. If China continues its current pace with a corresponding increase in military strength, this "strategic rebalancing" bluffing maneuver will be offset.
China is committed to a peaceful rise, and most Chinese do not hope the US will "decline rapidly."
Peaceful competition between China and the US is what China wishes for. Compared with Hagel's remarks, China is more looking forward to the upcoming meeting between the two state leaders of China and the US.
We hope those who are trying to "contain" China can expand their eyesight to the reciprocal interactions between these two nations.
They should know that aircraft carriers and stealth fighters are not the whole reality of the Sino-American relationship.
