He says that the US has many military resources in Asia other than Taiwan: It has formal defense treaties with Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Thailand. US ships have visiting rights in the Philippines. There is a base agreement with Singapore, as well as an agreement with Malaysia that US aircraft carriers can put into port there. Finally, the US and Indonesia have an agreement to cooperate in military exercises.
他表示，美國在亞洲與日本、南韓、澳洲、泰國有軍事上的同盟關係，與菲律賓有軍隊到訪的協議，與新加坡有基地使用的協定，與馬來西亞有航空母艦靠港的協定，與印尼有軍事演習的合作關係，可見美國在亞太地區仍有相當的軍事防禦能力。
