In his keynote speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed that the Indo-Pacific is more of a geographical concept than a strategic one. He said, “India does not see the Indo-Pacific Region as a strategy or as a club of limited members. Nor as a grouping that seeks to dominate. And by no means do we consider it as directed against any country.” It was obvious that Modi's speech did not toe the line of the US Indo-Pacific strategy. India did not want to be the US' pawn and wanted to maintain its “strategic independent” policy so that it could maneuver among the big powers and maximize its interests. After his watershed meeting with President Xi Jinping in Wuhan, Modi adjusted its previous confrontational policy towards China and the two nations returned to the road of friendship and cooperation.
此外,美国推行“印太战略”缺少抓手。尽管马蒂斯讲话中屡屡提及南海军事化,但是南海争端声索国家对此集体失声。奥巴马政府推行亚太再平衡,以南海争端为抓手,挑拨离间,导致地区紧张局势高烧不退。而现如今,南海地区形势已明显降温趋稳,并呈现积极发展的态势,有关各方回归通过谈判磋商解决争议的正轨。美国积极拉拢越南、菲律宾、印度尼西亚参与“印太战略”,但应者了了。有意思的是,美日澳印都强调要发挥东盟的中心作用,但东盟对美国“印太战略”却三缄其口,关键原因是特朗普政府公信力和领导力下降,有关各方意见不一,对美国“印太战略”很难形成一致看法。
