The United States no longer enjoys primacy in Asia. But an effort to restore this primacy would be seen by many Asian countries as disastrously revisionist. Instead, the United States should develop a strategy that focuses on shoring up its own position as a status quo power, one of two poles in Asia. This means doing more to reestablish its military edge in Asia by prioritizing the deployment of submarines, fighter aircraft, and warships to the region. Washington should continue to invest in alliances as part of a strategy to deter China but avoid overestimating the importance of these alliances to the overall balance of power in Asia. And to redress the shift away from the United States by the region’s nonaligned countries, it should engage more with them diplomatically and economically. Doing so will not restore U.S. primacy but can help ensure that bipolarity—the least bad option for America and the region—endures.

It tries to make a case for US military in Asia–including for China–but not primacy. It acknowledges balancing. Astounding.

Countries in Asia should not be complacent about the risk of increased conflict. But they should also recognize that things could be much worse for them. Even from China’s point of view, Asia would be more dangerous and chaotic without the influence of the United States. If the United States were to retreat from Asia, Beijing would still have no clear route to establishing a stable China-centric order. It has territorial or maritime disputes with at least ten other countries in the region. And without the United States’ security umbrella, South Korea—and possibly even Australia or Japan—might seek to develop its own nuclear weapons. The prospect of a nuclear arms race underscores the ultimate value of the Biden administration’s effort to shore up alliances in Asia. By giving allies greater confidence in U.S. commitments and the endurance of a bipolar balance of power, the United States can help prevent them from seeking dangerous alternative pathway to security.
