US media comparison of Sino-US diplomatic style: political VS military strategic and tactical diplomatic relations _ styles | | news

June 25 United States the International Journal recently published an editorial said the Sino-American diplomatic, military, drove United States gradually return to Asia frequently, bilateral diplomacy, differences in strategy has become increasingly apparent. Generally speaking, China's foreign policy is a political strategy, and United States foreign policy was more like military tactics.

Article said that United States foreign policy has the maneuverability and quick, but prone to vulnerabilities, and China's foreign policy is prudent.

United States diplomatic thinking seems to be thinking by military generals, foreign policies like military operations, for example, established North American backyard, like consolidating the rear positions, pushing the allies strategies, will establish a line of Defense. For example, the first island chain, like setting up defensive positions on the battlefield.

Pointed out that the United States return to Asia, Clinton designed the so-called smart power is not really something new, is the enemy of my enemy can be an ally, or make enemies of friends become enemies, enemies, thus surrounded by China to form a chain. Therefore, the smart power is only in the United States on a traditional ally, and then draw some small countries have disputes with China.

Military thought dominant diplomatic strategies, from the United States point of view, the advantages are well targeted, easy to implement, the disadvantage is that hostility so obvious, also allow each other to check for leaks, because simple military than political. And there is no impregnable defenses, fate of the Maginot line to prove it. Because no matter how long the line will end, you can walk around, such as the United States to return to Asia, intended to blockade the Chinese go out of their way, but there are "high iron silk road", you can bypass the United States island chain. In addition, the solid line also has weak joints can break.

The article, United States foreign policies like military combat, greatest weakness is that when American troops attacked too much emphasis on flank security, flank if each other's strongholds, the Americans will stop attacking, even backwards. Island there is the weak link in the chain, so when the loss occurred in the first island chain, United States diplomatic and military focus may return to the second island chain.

Points out that China's diplomatic strategy has always been characterized by political calculations, mostly to mutual trust before they can be made from one country to another, these strategies have factors of Changzhi.
