U.S. and China has a mutual interest to keep the Asia-Pacific region stable and secure. However, if one looks at the future vision of two countries, they are quite different. U.S tries to maintain stability by the hub and spoke alliance system in the region. On the other hand, China tries to do so by the China-centered system. After all, the present configuration in Asia is very favorable to the United States and not at all to China's liking.
Stability means Taiwan is still independent.
Stability means the U.S. is still the dominant power in East Asia. In short, stability is not in China's interests. China would like to see a strategic revolution in East Asia. But their goals are incompatible with those of the U.S., now and in the years to come. That concludes our discussion for today.
