Objectives and future direction for Rebalance security policies

Asia, Foreign and Defense Policy

Thank you to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commissioners for inviting me to testify today. It is a privilege to be back with you—this time from the other side of the dais.

I hope to leave you with three main takeaways. (1) US interests in the Asia-Pacific have been tied to a post–World War II grand strategy of maintaining a preponderance of power across Eurasia (in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific). US objectives in Asia cannot be viewed in isolation from that strategic conception. (2) US security policies must operate within a diplomatic-political framework. We must continually ask, as you are right now, “What are we trying to achieve with our military and alliances?” In my view, Washington must become more diplomatically active in resolving territorial disputes plaguing the region, particularly in Southeast Asia. (3) Over the long term, the US needs as permanent a basing presence as possible southwest of Okinawa.

Let me flesh out these thoughts by responding to your specific questions:

What interests does the United States have in the Asia-Pacific, and how do these relate to the world order the United States seeks to promote?
