碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 戰略暨國際事務研究所 === 102 === Its rising makes China into an emerging power having significant global economic and political influence. Although it externally repeated claims of “peaceful rise”, as being strong internationally, in addition to causing unrest in neighboring countries, it makes the United States, the dominant power after the Cold War to promote the "Asia-Pacific rebalancing" strategy as a response to return to Asia. The United States returned to Asia to strengthen relationship with Asian traditional allies, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, and to expand relations with ASEAN’s politics, economy and army, seeking entry point in the sovereignty disputes about Diaoyu Islands at East China Sea to counterbalance China’s rise. Power Transition Theory, the ground for the transfer of power in international relations seems to foretell the future conflicts between the United States and China. This essay attempts, by “3i Decision-making Model” created by Prof. Soong, Hseik-Wen, from such aspects as ideas (1st i), interests (2nd i) and institutionalization (3rd i) to view the positions of the United States and China about the sovereignty disputes occurred in Diaoyu Islands at East China Sea, and in South China Sea. Although the United States repeatedly expressed that returning to Asia is not to contain China, as a guardian of the international system, the United States is ordained becoming a role to suppress China. China’s attitude to handle the sovereignty disputes about Diaoyu Islands and South China Sea will become a touchstone whether China could rise peacefully.
