“保卫本土！”美国新版国防战略出炉，一次没提“台湾”

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Department of Defense has released a new "National Defense Strategy" that prioritizes the defense of the U.S. homeland and interests in the Western Hemisphere, adopting a more conciliatory tone towards China compared to previous strategies [1][3]. Group 1: Strategic Focus - The new strategy emphasizes four pillars: defending the U.S. homeland, deterring China through strength rather than confrontation, urging allies to take on more responsibilities, and significantly enhancing the U.S. defense industrial base [1]. - The document reflects a significant shift from the previous administration's focus on countering China, instead criticizing past governments for neglecting U.S. interests and calling for a focus on the "real interests" of the American public [3]. Group 2: Regional Considerations - The strategy presents a cautious view of Europe, acknowledging its importance while noting its declining share in the global economy, and emphasizes the need to prioritize the defense of the U.S. homeland and deter China [4]. - Russia is described as a manageable threat to NATO's eastern members, with the strategy ensuring U.S. military readiness against potential threats from Russia to the U.S. homeland [4]. Group 3: China Relations - The document indicates a desire for a stable and fair trade relationship with China, emphasizing the importance of negotiating from a position of strength [5]. - The Pentagon plans to engage in broader military communications with the Chinese military to achieve strategic stability and de-escalation of tensions [6]. - Notably, the strategy does not mention Taiwan, which marks a departure from previous drafts and indicates a potential shift in U.S. policy towards the region [7][11].
