At the same time, the US can be cautious about involving Japan in Taiwan issues – a neuralgic point for China – while encouraging the development of Asian institutions that increase contacts and dampen conflict. This can include the development of the East Asian Summit, revival of the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and the evolution of the current six-party talks on North Korea into a permanent Northeast Asia Security Dialogue.
与此同时，美国应该对让日本参与到台湾事务上来保持谨慎的态度。台湾问题触动着中国的神经。美国还应当同时推动发展旨在增加接触和淡化冲突的亚洲机制。这方面可以包括开发东亚峰会，重振亚太经合组织，把现在针对北朝鲜问题的六方会谈发展成一个永久性的东北亚安全对话机制。
