长期以来,美国在亚太地区的战略部署中一直有着“南北双锚”之说。北指的是近年来活动异常、野心勃勃的日本,南则指的是看似远离亚太核心地区的澳大利亚。近年来,为了应对中国的崛起和俄罗斯的复苏,美国频频出招,试图在亚洲建立类似于北约的军事组织,日本和澳大利亚自然成为了美国极力拉拢的对象,被视为其“亚洲北约”构想中重要的两枚棋子。 For a long time, the United States has always had “double anchor” in the strategic deployment in the Asia Pacific region. North refers to the unusually ambitious Japan in recent years, while South refers to Australia, which seems far removed from the core of the Asia-Pacific region. In recent years, in order to cope with the rise of China and Russia’s recovery, the United States has made frequent moves to try to establish a military organization similar to NATO in Asia. Japan and Australia have naturally become the targets that the United States strongly draws together and are regarded as its “North Asia NATO” concept Two important pieces in the game.
