| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 亞太研究英語碩士學位學程(IMAS) === 104 === The Rebalance to Asia Policy shows the attention the U.S. gives to Asia Pacific region. In this research, I firstly introduced background information of this strategy, and analyzed policy content and purposes from the aspects of economy, diplomacy and military. After the 911 incident, there were signs of genuine cooperatives efforts between China and the U.S, an example being the collaboration between the two countries in anti-terrorism. However, with the increasing power of China, the U.S. has also felt it necessary to constrain China at the same time. China in turn, has also actively tried to reduce U.S.’ influence in the Asia Pacific region. Additionally, the U.S. expects Taiwan to play a role in constraining China’s rise with could be counter-productive and risky as China is integral to Taiwan’s economy. Being between the two super powers, Taiwan has had to make maneuvers to show its value to both sides. In order to maximize Taiwan’s interests, Taiwan should maintain good interactions with the U.S. and China and deepen trade and economic relations with Asia Pacific countries. Further research will also discuss China and Taiwan’s response economically, diplomatically and militarily under the Rebalance to Asia policy its impact, and potential future developments of Cross-Strait relations.
