Guo Bingyun: The ability of the United States to manage allies is further enhanced

Among the three major American core tools of the United States, the U.S. military, and the United States, the United States League belongs to the category of soft power and ingenuity, which is relatively easy to be ignored and easily formed.At the federal government level, the United States has an in -depth consensus.

On September 24, 2024, Lianhe Morning Post published Mr. Xiong Hire U.S. Management Allied ability is impact .The article believes that "the United States has not been able to stop the Russian and Ukraine War and the outbreak of conflict with Harbin." It is neither to control Ukraine nor to effectively control Israel.In the end, "the ability of the United States to manage allies is being impacted."This article believes that the ability of the US currently managed allies not only has not been impacted, but has increased.

The two wars, which are underway, have an important impact on the US diplomatic strategy in the United States, but it is not only negative, especially the latter.The Russian and Ukraine War has a lot of positive impact on the United States' enhanced ally relations:

1. The leadership of the United States in NATO is consolidated rather than weakening.The Russian and Ukraine War was the first large -scale war in Russia since the end of World War II. Russia has launched a large -scale war against European countries. In Western and Nordic countries, it has been threatened for the first time in more than 70 years.Protection, the leadership of the United States in NATO is more consolidated.

2. These countries have increased military expense budgets.In this battle, the United States eventually realized that the Trump administration's "extreme pressure" failed to achieve, and the Bayeng government's military expenditure expenditure of NATO member states was not completed before, accounting for 2%of the fiscal budget.

3. NATO successfully achieved expansion.The Russian and Ukraine War led to the rapid abandonment of neutral policies that Sweden and Finland had adhered to for a long time, and eventually entered the NATO.The increase in the United States in Europe is increasing rather than decrease.

Four, the US and European economic and trade relations are closer.The Russian and Ukraine War was a typical agent war. Ukraine was the agent supported by the United States. The purpose was to curb the rest of Russia's East Mountains, but also to prevent the entire European economic relations from being too close and weakened the economic influence of the United States in Europe.After the Russia -Ukraine War, the European NATO allies rely more on the United States in the energy field, and their economic and trade relations with Russia fell to freezing points.Between this rise and fall, the economic influence of the United States on these alliances has increased.

In the Indo -Pacific region with more strategic resources in the United States, there have been new breakthroughs in the wide degree and depth of the United States.In terms of breadth, on the basis of the Five Treaty Allies in Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United States has developed India into a quasi -all -all ally or a factual allies, that is, although the two countries have not signed a military alliance treaty, they fulfill their corresponding duties.By 2020, the United States has signed a agreement with four of the Loginary Exchange Memorandum Agreement (LEMOA) that usually only signed with military allies.The United States has pulled India, which has long persisted in "not alliance" to balance China to balance China, which is obviously a major breakthrough in diplomacy.

In depth, the new improvement of the American management allies is mainly manifested in two aspects. One is that at the level of bilateral relations, the relationship between the United States and the Indo -Pacific allies has developed newly developed.After the President of the Philippines in the Philippines in 2022, the US -Philippine relations have made new progress.The Philippines chooses the United States between China and the United States, and the US military base in the Philippines has increased from five to nine.The continuous friction between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea is one of the influences of the development of the US -Philippine relations and one of the important reasons for the continuous consolidation of US -Philippine relations.South Korean President Yin Xiyue fell to the United States on diplomacy after the group Pavilion in 2022, and quickly improved the relationship between Japan, and cleared the obstacles for the most complicated ally relational relationship for the United States to manage the Indo -Pacific region.

The second is at the level of multilateral relations, the United States weave an unprecedented alliance relationship network in the Indo -Pacific region.Even at the Trump administration, which is extremely disgusted with polygonal relations and prefer bilateral relations, has made important contributions in this regard.In 2018, Trump activated the four -nation security dialogue mechanism (QUAD), which has been dormant for many years, and laid the foundation for Biden to develop the dialogue mechanism into a substantive organization.On September 23, the Four Kingdoms Summit, which had just ended at Biden's high school alma mater, approved the cooperation between the four countries to conduct coastal guards for the first time.As Professor Lin Minwang, an expert in India, China Fudan University, said: "Since the reconstruction of the Four Kingdoms in 2018, a lot of impossible cannot be gradually become possible under the Quad mechanism framework."

On September 15, 2021, the United States and Britain and Australia jointly announced the establishment of AUKUS Group, AUKUS, which mainly focuses on security cooperation.fleet.This has strengthened the United States' military dominance in the Indo -Pacific region.In addition, the United States, Japan and South Korea Joint Military exercises.Important breakthroughs have also been achieved after the substantial improvement of relations between Japan and South Korea.In March of this year, the first summit of the United States, Japan and the Philippines held the first summit.In 2023, the United States United Japan, the Philippines, and Australia established a small team (Squad) mechanism, and the Four National Defense Ministers met last year and this year.

In addition to strengthening the league partnership network in the military field, the United States has also achieved new results in the economic field.In order to enhance the economic influence of the United States in the Indo -Pacific region, in May 2022, the Bayeng government officially launched the Indo -Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF).The Ministerial Meeting held this year reached three agreements about the cleaning economy and fair economy.US Minister of Commerce Raymond pointed out that "the vision of Indo -Pacific Economic framework has become a reality."In the field of energy, the United States established I2U2 groups including India, the United Arab Emirates and Israel in 2022.During the participation in the New Delhi G20 summit in 2023, Biden formed the Indian -Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) to fight the influence of the Belt and Road in South Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

Although the Middle East chaos caused by the conflict of Harbin, the United States has limited means and the corresponding measures are not many, but this does not mean that the influence of the United States on the Middle East allies has declined.More importantly, on the world's most important geopolitical sector, the world's most important geopolitical sector, the United States League Combat Relations Network not only has not weakened.Instead, it is unprecedented.

Among the three major U.S. and the United States, the United States, the United States, and the United States have dominated the world's core tools, only the US alliance belongs to the category of soft power and clever strength, which is relatively easy to be ignored and easily formed.At the federal government level, the United States has an in -depth consensus.The United States to maintain the world hegemony through the alliance's network is its usual trick.Since the end of the Cold War, as far as its overall development trend is concerned, the number of US military allies is increasing rather than decrease, and the relationship between the United States and the alliance has been strengthened rather than weakening.
