日前，美国总统拜登、日本首相岸田文雄和菲律宾总统马科斯在华盛顿举行首次三边会谈，讨论加强安全合作等问题。日本共同社报道，三国发布联合声明，意在“应对中国”。美国拉拢日、菲等国搅动地区局势，意欲何为？中新网就相关话题，采访澳大利亚前总理陆克文政策顾问、昆士兰科技大学教授鲍韶山(Warwick　Powell)。

　　鲍韶山称，为保住其在全球不同地区的霸权地位，美国开始强调“微边主义体系”及其同盟体系的作用。他直言，一直以来，美国对霸权地位的追求，才是国际动荡的最大根源和对世界和平的最大威胁。

　　鲍韶山补充道，通过挑衅他国、挑战他国底线，美国在认为自己无法主导的环境当中不断制造不稳定局势，意图达成其“分而治之”的战略目标。 (陈天浩)

　　The first trilateral meeting among the U.S., Japan, and the Philippines was held at the White House last Thursday to expand a web of security and economic alliances in the Indo-Pacific. According to Kyodo News, U.S., Japan, Philippine leaders "show united front against China". In this regard, Warwick Powell, professor at Queensland University of Technology, shared his thoughts.

　　Powell said bluntly that America's continued pursuit of primacy is the greatest source of instability and the greatest risk to peace.

　　In addition, Powell added that the long-standing modus operandi of the U.S. has been to create instability through provoking countries and pushing the boundaries, which enables the U.S. to pursue a divide-and-conquer strategy in an environment where it believes it can't dominate.
