Of course, diplomacy needs to be backed by strength, but the US has plenty without militarizing the Asia-Pacific region more than it already has. Peaceful resolution of these conflicts requires giving China a role in the decision-making process, which implies that the US and China alike relinquish any desire for regional primacy.
外交斡旋而非武力打击是实现上述目标的最佳方式。外交斡旋当然要以实力为后盾，但美国拥有足够的实力，而不用依靠亚太地区进一步军事化。这些冲突的和平解决取决于能否在决策过程中给予中国发言权，但这意味着美中两国都必须放弃地区称霸的野心。
