Beyond the resentment that such an attitude engenders, American exemptionalism directly undermines multilateral institutions' capacity to address challenges that the US is unwilling or unable to resolve on its own. How can the US expect China to follow rules on maritime delimitation in the East and South China Seas when it refuses to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea?
除了这一态度可能产生的不满之外，美国豁免论还直接影响了多边机构解决美国不愿或不能独力解决的挑战的能力。当美国拒绝批准联合国哦《海洋法公约》（Convention on the Law of the Sea）时，它如何能够要求中国遵守东海和南海的领海界线？
