#閱讀筆記ReadingNotes】美國國務院發表《印太報告》,開宗名義以「專制強權」為假想敵。印太戰略在特朗普政府3年前上台時就提出,旨在連結美日韓台澳紐東盟印度,揭制中國影響力擴張;但由於特朗普政策反覆(最近東盟峰會就是例子),印太戰略一直雷聲大雨點小。

今年初,美駐港總領事唐偉康首度將香港納入印太戰略,今次報告亦有一段重申「香港自治」之重要性。香港自治之未來,繫於香港人、中國和自由世界的三方互動;而美國如何推動印太戰略,以及香港在當中有何角色,將是重要變項。

US Department of State issued a report on “Indo-Pacific strategy”, highlighting “Authoritarian revisionist powers” as its opposing forces. The Indo-Pacific strategy was introduced by Trump administration 3 years ago, aiming to build an alliance from US, Japan, Korea and Taiwan to Australia, New Zealand, ASEAN and India for checking China’s influence. But so far it’s all talk with little action, due to the inconsistency of Donald Trump (the latest example is the recent ASEAN summit).

Earlier this year, the outgoing US consul-general in Hong Kong, Kurt Tong, firstly put Hong Kong within the Indo-Pacific strategy; This report also reiterated the importance of Hong Kong’s autonomy in the Indo-Pacific region. The future of Hong Kong’s autonomy hinges on the three-way interaction between Hongkongers, China and the Free World; How will the US push forward the Indo-Pacific strategy and how Hong Kong will be positioned within it will be important variables.
