ABSTRACT

The “return to the Asia-Pacific” policy and the “Asia-Pacific rebalancing” policy during the Obama period marked the germination of the Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States, and since then, the Indo-Pacific strategy has been continuously strengthened by the two administrations of Trump and Biden (Ling, 2023). In order to stop China from rising, the United States has been trying to draw the ten ASEAN countries which are geographically close to China to American side. However, due to the different national conditions and the different needs of the ten countries, it is difficult for the United States to keep ASEAN’s attitude towards China consistent under the frame of Indo-Pacific strategy. Therefore, this paper will analyze the different attitudes of the ten countries towards China respectively, so as to help China formulate better policies and find better ways to cope with America’s containment of China’s rise and maintain regional and world peace.
