| Summary/Abstract |
In response to the complex and profound changes in the world geo-political landscape following the disintegration of the bi-polar world structure, the Obama Administration, since day one, has put more emphasis on Asia and adopted a new geo-strategy toward this part of the world. Its main strategic intention is to tilt the geo-strategic focus from the Middle-east and Central Asia to East Asia. The US has increased engagement with and input to Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia, the strategic intention of which is to turn these three parts into tightly-connected key links in its new Asia geo-strategy so as to extend the "three-island chain" it developed in Northeast and Southeast Asia in the Cold War period to South Asia. By so doing, the US seeks to reinforce and expand its presence in Asia in regional geo-political landscape, occupy the dominant position, prevent and contain any challenge to its advantageous position.
