Professor at PLA University of Foreign Languages.Since the Obama Administration took office,basic framework of its security strategy in Asia-Pacific region has taken shape tentatively.It is intended for leading and controlling that region by the employment of mechanisms and cooperation with other countries.It serves as an introspection on the unilateral foreign policies and power politics of the Bush Administration from the perspective of the U.S.neoliberal mode of thinking,and a re-confirmation of Clinton Administration's Asia- Pacific security strategy.It may have certain implications for maintaining stability in the region,but will also complicate the situation and bring about a new political ecology there,posing more and more impediments and challenges to China's security and development. 6.Obama Administration's China Policy and China-U.S.Relations,by Bian Qingzu,former Secretary General of Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and Guest Researcher of CPDS. After the Obama Administration took office,it inherited the mantle of the previous administration by adopting a "hedging strategy".However,its policy framework does not look steady.While the U.S.feels the need to make China more active in international affairs,it has suddenly to "change face"and turn aggressive at the mercy of its domestic political elements.The US "abrupt changes"regarding China-U.S.relations since the entry into 2010 are indeed a clear manifestation of how feeble that policy framework is.Generally speaking,the main progressive trend in China-U.S.relationship will not change in its future development,taking on both an aspect of being cooperative between the two sides and another aspect of being exposed to conflicts of interests which may endanger the bilateral ties. 7.China-Russian Relations in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,by Zhao Huasheng,Director, Center for Russian and Central Asian Studies at Fudan University.As a regional organization,the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)is formed on the basis of strategic cooperation between China and Russia for maintaining security and stability in Central Asia.It also plays the role of reducing mutual suspicions and conflicts in the region and safeguarding their common interests.Under the influences of history,geopolitics, international setup and a multitude of other factors,a marked discrepancy also exits between the two countries as to their respective expectations on the goals of SCO,but the main trend to carry on cooperation between the two sides in SCO will not be halted. 8.The General Drift of China-Japan-US Ties towards Multi-polarization,by Wang Shaopu,Professor and Director,Center for Japanese Studies at Shanghai Communication University.International financial and economic crisis has remarkably quickens the process of global multi-polarization,which will exert important influence on tripartite relationship among China,Japan and the U.S.,making it possible for a new motive for cooperation as well as some emerging problems.It is of special importance to maintain world economic stability through their cooperation in an inter-related financial and economic structure.When the three sides reach a common understanding on regional economic integration of the Asia-Pacific region,differences among them on the establishment of an East Asia Community will be straightened out.Faced with changes in diplomatic tasks, the trilateral relations will tend to be more pragmatic.However,with the deepened trend of multi-polarization, their relations are undergoing an important process of changes,during which instability of the relations may be increasing. 9.The EU's Understanding of Its Strategy towards China at Present and Its New Policy Directions, —68—Professor at PLA University of Foreign Languages.
