US should exploit the manifold concerns/
grievances of China's neighbors to both deepen
and diversify America's alliance network in Asia
Dissuade PRC from investing in
"disruptive" capabilities by
channeling investment into
relatively non-threatening areas
– Facilitate India's development of a bluewater
navy (or otherwise increase the
perceived threat to PRC SLOCs) to
encourage PRC investment in bluewater
capabilities sooner, more
vigorously, and on a larger scale than
might otherwise be the case
– Ratchet up the perceived threat to
China's home waters posed by US
attack submarines, encouraging the
PLA to shift more resources into
coastal ASW capabilities
Dissuade PRC from investing
in "disruptive" capabilities by
channeling investment into
relatively non-threatening
areas (continued)
– Expand US base-access
agreements in Central Asia to
compel the PLA to invest in more
air defenses in Western/Northern
military districts
