美國意識到「中國崛起」的情形已逐漸溢出其所能控制的局面,冷戰後美國對於東亞地區並未設置有效的多邊安全機制,僅藉與日本及南韓等友好國家加強軍事同盟關係,來介入東亞地區事務及維持權力平衡,然而面對日漸茁重強大的中國,美國如此消極手段勢必影響區域安全機制的建構。囿於美國受到反恐戰爭的影響,使得戰略設計及兵力部署方式均受到限制,雖然美國為降低戰事所衍生龐大的軍費,規劃2010年自伊拉克撤兵後即執行裁軍計畫,然為防範及防杜中國在東亞地區的影響力日益擴張,對於東亞地區的駐軍卻無裁減跡象。美國對台灣軍售的立場常隨著政黨兩岸政策的認知差異而有所變化及調整,數十年來台灣的國土安全其實是在危機時藉著如美國等外力的介入來保障及警告中國任何的異常舉動,未來台灣在軍事戰略上的布局不管是「國防自主」或者是「持續軍購」為重,當前仍應持續關注美國在東亞的戰略規劃及掌握美日、美韓的友好關係。
The US realizes the situation of “China rises” which overflows out of control gradually. After the cold war, to intervene the affair of East-Asia area and maintain the balance of power they didn’t set effective multilateral security mechanism but keep the affiliation within Japan and South Korea and strengthen the Military alliance. However, facing the vigorous intensity of gravity of China, the negative method of the US will makes the structure of regional security mechanism weakened inevitably. It constrains the strategic design and the troop employment, which comes under cramps of war of anti-terrorism in 2010. Although, the US plans to conduct disarmament after withdrawing troops from Iraq, in order to reduce the huge expenses of war. However, in order to blockade the expansion of influence of China in East Asia, there is no sign that reducing the quantity of troops of the US military over there. The police of the US that selling the armaments to Taiwan usually has adjusted depends on differences of the cross strait police of the party in power of Taiwan. For decades, Taiwan’s homeland security counts on interfering of US military forces during the crisis by way of warning any unusual action of China. It doesn’t matter which policy “Independence of national defense” or “purchasing armaments continually” will be strengthened in layout of Taiwan’s strategy of military, the most important thing nowadays is focusing the military strategy of the US in East Asia and affiliating with Japan and South korea.
