In Asia, the US has been playing a similar role in pushing for multilateral resolution of dangerous bilateral disputes between China and its many neighbors over territories in the East and South China Seas, while at the same time restraining US allies who might otherwise provoke crises. And, on big global issues like climate change, organized crime, trade, and prevention of atrocities, the absence of the US as a policy catalyst and active negotiator will be quickly and keenly felt.
美国在亚洲也扮演着类似的角色，推动多边解决中国及众多邻国间在东海及南海领土问题上危险的双边纠纷，同时约束美国的盟国防止他们挑起危机。在气候变化、有组织犯罪、贸易活动和预防暴力等全球重大问题上，如果没有美国积极参与谈判并起到政策催化剂的作用，国际社会将快速深切地感受到谈判的难度。
