International orders emerge either by consensus or through force. The great task for Obama, incoming Chinese President, Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the new Japanese and South Korean leaders who will come to power following elections in December, and all ASEAN members is to ensure that consensus prevails in Asia without stoking China’s greatest strategic fear – encirclement.
国际秩序的产生要么通过共识，要么通过武力。奥巴马、即将上任的中国主席习近平、印度总理辛格、12月大选后上台的日本和韩国领导人、以及所有东盟成员国必须确保在亚洲形成共识的同时不让中国最大的战略隐忧——岛链——恶化。
