Hong Kong media: China's rise is a foregone conclusion United States | must adapt to the new situation of China's rise _ news

June 19 United States President Barack Obama recently delivered a speech, reiterated the United States continued to "lead" the world, and reminds the United States is the "indispensable nation." This year's Gallup (a major consulting company) poll found for the first time, more Americans believe China is the United States enemy number one. However, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post Chinese 19th article stressed that "Asia's turn" strategy has not worked; United States rising China should not worry about checks and balances, but should spend more time and energy for China's rise.

Article excerpts are as follows:

According to the Pew Research Center (United States of an independent polling organization) a survey last December, about 51% respondents United States action in addressing global issues. Even more surprising is that surveys show that Americans think the United States power was going downhill. The other hand, Gallup also found for the first time this year, more Americans believe China is the United States enemy number one.

"Asia's turn" strategy did not work. Along with the worsening problem of territorial disputes, any improvement in the security situation of the region, United States also strengthened influence. ASEAN members had come together, but now claim of sovereignty country and between countries seeking closer economic relations with China, but there are cracks. The peacetime uses of military superiority to contain China, cannot be as effective as nuclear deterrence.

China has been strengthening energy security. China's important energy and resources will indeed be subject to sea transport routes diverted, such as the United States fleet forces within seven in the Malacca Strait, and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. But over the years, China has been in the development of onshore oil and gas in Central Asia channel. In addition, has just signed a natural gas deal between China and Russia.

Trans-Pacific strategic economic partnership agreement (TPP) are not fully achieved. In addition, China is still the hub of global supply and production chains, China locked in through the TPP to United States-centric framework, effectiveness is questionable. Americans pride themselves on global power from a large number of diplomatic and military allies. However, the number of trading partners, China has now more than the United States. Once it becomes reversed, how many States have yielded to the United States will, it is hard to predict.

From the perspective of reality, China is unlikely to copy "United States democracy", but it can become more free, more open, more equitable, more sustainable development and environmental protection, which are all very fit China's announced development strategy. China doesn't want or need to become United States enemies.

United States should not worry about how to balance a rising China, but should spend more time and energy to accept China's rise as a global order a responsible person and adapt to the changes that followed. To do this, United States military forces should not be used, but should play its unmatched soft power. (Mr Leung)
