One Summit, Three Allies and a Very Important Message for China
Most important, Mr. Biden must ensure that the core messaging from Camp David is that the paradigm in Asia has changed. The people of the three countries, especially Japan and South Korea, must be made to realize that the security of each is inseparably linked and that none of them can ignore a threat or attack against the other. This will mean dispelling concerns over getting dragged into someone else’s fight. Some South Koreans, for example, worry that a conflict over Taiwan will require Seoul to extend military support to the United States and Japan, and that North Korea might be tempted to exploit that with aggression against South Korea. Some Japanese worry that escalating friction between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan could lead to a Chinese attack on bases in Japan. Differences like these play into the hands of China and North Korea.最重要的是,拜登必須確保戴維營發出的核心信息是亞洲的範式已經改變。必須讓兩國人民特別是日韓人民認識到,彼此的安全密不可分,任何一方都不能忽視對方的威脅或攻擊。這將意味著消除人們對被捲入別人戰鬥的擔憂。例如,一些韓國人擔心,台灣問題將需要首爾向美國和日本提供軍事支持,而朝鮮可能會利用這一點來侵略韓國。一些日本人擔心,華盛頓和北京之間在台灣問題上不斷升級的摩擦可能會導致中國對日本基地發動攻擊。諸如此類的分歧正中中國和朝鮮的下懷。
