迎接中国的挑战

All of this is a worry for China. Beijing has decried the 'Cold War mentality' it claims is evinced by such moves. With respect to a U.S.-Australia-India grouping, Canberra and New Delhi have been quick to publicly downplay the prospect for now, for fear of needlessly antagonizing Beijing. China remains a critical economic partner for all countries in the region. Clearly any trilateral meeting could not feature China as a chief agenda item. The more subtle path followed by this week's U.S.-Japan-India conference is more likely.

这一切都让中国担忧。北京方面曾说这些动作体现的是一种“冷战思维”。在美-澳-印的结盟问题上，堪培拉和新德里方面目前在公开场合都是急于淡化其可能性，因为它们担心这样会没有必要地激怒北京。中国仍然是地区内所有国家至关重要的经济伙伴。显然，如果有三边会谈召开的话，都不能把中国列为最重要议题之一，而更有可能采用本周美-日-印会议那种更加低调的方式。

But there's no escaping China's own role in bringing about this security realignment. Beijing's expansive maritime sovereignty claims; its aggressive behavior pursuing them; its support for states such as North Korea and Pakistan; and its nontransparent military build-up all raise questions about its willingness to act as a responsible stakeholder in the region. Beijing will have to come to terms with more meetings such as this week's.
