摘要
美国一直对整个东南亚保持全面、强大的影响,这种影响自20世纪80年代以来急剧增加,涉及商业、安全、教育、外交和其他多个领域。美国的实力和对区域的贡献主要依靠软硬两种实力,但美国的经济影响广泛而深入。不过,美国的这种存在并未得到东南亚媒体的深刻认识或报道。相反,中国的存在与影响力却显得无处不在。多数东南亚国家政府通常不愿意承认或宣扬美国的存在或者美国对地区安全、稳定和增长的贡献。美国与东盟和该区域的外交接触因其间断性的特征受到了正确的批评,华盛顿应当从更宏观的视角从根本上来提升东南亚在亚洲、印太外交优先事项中的地位。随着美中竞争的升级,东南亚将成为双方竞争的焦点地区。东南亚国家和社会可能没有意识到美中竞争升级对他们的含义。
The United States maintains a comprehensive and robust presence throughout Southeast Asia that has grown dramatically since the 1980s.It includes the commercial,security,education and diplomatic,and other domains.America’s strengths and contributions to the region lie particularly in both hard and soft power,but the U.S.economic footprint is both broad and deep.However,this presence is not very well appreciated or reported by regional media-whereas China’s presence and influence is pervasive.Most Southeast Asian governments are often reluctant to recognize or publicize the U.S.presence or contributions to regional security,stability,and growth.America’s diplomatic engagement of ASEAN and the region has rightly been criticized for its episodic engagement,and Washington should substantially elevate Southeast Asia within its broader Asian and Indo-Pacific diplomatic priorities.As U.S.-China competition escalates,Southeast Asia will become an epicentre of this competition.Southeast Asian states and societies may not realize the significance of the escalating U.S.-China competition for them.
