Three perspectives on the present and future of America’s Asia policy have been heard in Washington in the past weeks.
Kishida and Kausikan, while both underlining America’s residual strengths in its regional presence, are frank about their fears for America’s direction., Kishida talked of America’s “loneliness and exhaustion” in global leadership. He said he detected “an undercurrent of self-doubt” among Americans about their role in the world. Given that allies are being asked to do more, Japan has changed its “very mindset”, he said. Tokyo, an ally once “reticent”, was now “looking outwards to the world”.
A key message was the need to prioritise interests over values, and dialogue over “demonising” China. He also advises the US not to demonise itself, pointing to its creativity and resilience in major corporations, university and research laboratories, and Wall Street.They laid down a policy path that can only lead to armed conflict. So radical is the recipe that Trump himself is unlikely to follow it.
