\nThe U.S. State Department last week released the \u201c2026-2030 Fiscal Year Institutional Strategic Plan,\u201d a nearly 20-page report that outlines the global strategic layout of U.S. diplomacy, security, and economics with \u201cU.S. Priority\u201d as the core program. The Korean media, paying attention to this strategic document, said that the U.S. will form a \u201cstrong pro-U.S. national economic group\u201d through \u201ccommercial diplomacy\u201d to revitalize domestic industries and counterbalance China\u2018s influence. Professor Li Haidong of the Foreign Affairs Academy told the Global Times reporter on 19 that the U.S. report is more targeted and actionable compared to previous China policy positioning, explicitly prohibiting deep ties between U.S. capital and technology with China to avoid strengthening China\u2018s strength, and even seeking to eliminate Chinese elements at the infrastructure level, highlighting stronger competitiveness and antagonism.<\/p>\n

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio wrote in his preface that 2026 to 2030 was a \u201cdecisive\u201d period for the United States and its international position. He noted that for the past 35 years, U.S. foreign policy had consistently placed the interests of the \u201cinternational community\u201d and a \u201crule-based order\u201d above the national interests of the United States and the interests of the American people. Now, he said, \u201ca foreign policy of \u2018America First\u2019 is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report identified six major goals, namely maintaining U.S. national sovereignty, establishing the Western Hemisphere and \u201cTang Luoism,\u201d peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, rebuilding the civilization alliance with European countries, U.S. economic and technological dominance, and targeted foreign aid with U.S. interests at the forefront. The report mentioned the \u201cChina\u201d-related keyword up to 23 times throughout the text.<\/p>\n

Rubio declared that the United States will not shy away from competition with China or other geopolitical rivals. \u201cWhile we will not seek unnecessary conflict, we will actively defend our interests in political, security, economic, and other areas against aggression from China, Russia, Iran, and other geopolitical rivals.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the section \u201cThe Establishment of \u2018Tang Luoism\u2019 in the Western Hemisphere,\u201d the report stated that the core work of the United States in the Western Hemisphere is to provide trade, security, and other alternatives to its neighbors in the region, and to treat China and other foreign powers as hypothetical enemies.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Indo-Pacific region, the report regards \u201chow the United States will respond to China\u2018s rise\u201d as a \u201cdecisive issue for the 21st century.\u201d The report declares that allowing China to enter the U.S. capital markets without restriction, encouraging U.S. companies to blindly invest, and outsourcing manufacturing capacity are \u201cstrategic mistakes\u201d that the United States and Western countries have committed in their policy toward China. The United States will implement policies in the Indo-Pacific region that \u201csupport U.S. domestic economic strength and curb overseas aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also hyped up China\u2018s military power, using this as an excuse to claim that the United States will encourage its Indo-Pacific allies to increase military spending, invest in building deterrent capabilities, and allow the U.S. military to have greater access to its critical infrastructure and resources. In return, the U.S. will also further open up its upgraded defense industrial bases to its allies.<\/p>\n

In the field of economic and trade cooperation, the United States will support related efforts to reduce dependence on China\u2018s key supply chains and excessive dependence on China in terms of economic growth.<\/p>\n

Korean media such as the Korea Daily and The Korea Herald noted that the U.S., using \u201cbusiness diplomacy\u201d as a core strategy to revive the country\u2018s industries and maintain its leading position, will establish a \u201cstrong pro-U.S. national economic group\u201d by promoting business transactions in all bilateral relations and negotiations to ensure that allies and partners prioritize U.S. companies and solutions. The Korean media also considered this strategy to embody \u201cthe U.S.\u2019s determination to counterbalance China\u2018s global influence.\u201d The report mentioned that the U.S. has recently led the launch of the \u201cSilicon Peace\u201d alliance aimed at promoting supply chain cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence and key minerals, which marks the U.S.\u2019s initiation of related actions to build such a group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consensus between the great trends of development of the era and the vast majority of countries in the world shows that in the deep adjustment of the international landscape, deepening cooperation with China can achieve self-prosperity, security, and peace, while the United States\u2018 addiction to the geopolitical rivalries of great powers and the deliberate act of tearing the world apart will ultimately only make it become a loner.\u201d Li Haidong analyzed to the Globe-Times reporter that this report, led by Rubio, was to some extent a rejection and modification of Trump\u2018s \u201cUS-first\u201d trading-dominated philosophy of China, precisely reflecting the complexity of the U.S. government\u2018s internal policy toward China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
