TEL AVIV – In 2010, then-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced America’s eastward shift in global strategy. The United States’ “pivot” to the Asia-Pacific region was required not only because of the security threats posed by the rise of China, but also as a consequence of America’s long and costly obsession with the Middle East.
特拉维夫—2010年，时任美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿宣布美国将以东进作为全球战略。美国之所以要以亚太地区为“支点”，不仅是因为中国的崛起所构成的安全威胁，也是美国长期事倍功半地沉陷于中东的后果。
