America's Asia
Pivot Creates Trouble in the Region (China Daily, People's Republic of China)
Is the
United States being too pushy with its 'pivot' to East Asia? According to this
editorial from China's state-run media, America should reconsider the way its new
posture is pushing regional leaders to choose between China and America, in
favor of a closer partnership with Beijing and other nearby nations based on
'equality.'

People’s
Republic of China - China Daily – Original Article (English)
Carrying its banner of a return to Asia and the Pacific, the
United States has triggered complicated changes in the calculations of people
in the region. America's return has become a sensitive topic for many policy makers,
as it appears that they will have to choose between China and the United States.
In East Asia, the interests of the U.S. and China
increasingly overlap. This may lead to conflict but to further integration as
well. As China and America have little choice but to co-exist in the region,
why not make this an opportunity to build a new model for bilateral relations
rather that a new battlefield for confrontation?
Our two nations should be clear-headed about their
identities. No Southeast Asian nation welcomes hegemony. Most hope to benefit
from China's robust economic growth and a sustainable American economic
recovery. By working together, both countries can contribute to regional
stability and prosperity.
America obviously needs to heed these hopes more than China
does. In a multipolar world, there is little space left for hegemony. The United
States should become a constructive cooperator that treats other nations with
equality, which will result in more U.S. profits than would be the case if it
acts as a hegemonic intruder.

Such a role for America would also ease the nervousness and
anxiety among countries that now feel they need to choosing sides between the U.S.
and China.
China's rise has promoted regional integration and
prosperity. This is an established fact and a historical trend that America
must learn to adapt to.
The fate of America's return to Asia lay not in how China
reacts to it, but in how America behaves in China's neighborhood.
