當前美國在東亞地區的戰略規劃與構想，主要受到美國全球霸權支配戰略的制約，一方面東亞地區受到美國全球反恐戰略的重要影響，形成地區性反恐合作與行動；另一方面東亞地區複雜的戰略情勢，促使美國必須針對東亞地區的未來安全發展，規劃與設計出具有地區特性的戰略部署與計畫。因此，美國在東亞地區採取一種多重性的混合戰略作為，針對全球恐怖主義及流氓國家採取優勢支配戰略；針對東亞地區出現的霸權或競爭對手（如中國），則採取圍堵與選擇性交往戰略；對於東亞其他國家則採取區域同盟與合作安全戰略。美國在東亞地區的戰略目標主要在實現其全球戰略利益，爭取該地區的領導權，並企圖降低與打擊區域大國的挑戰意圖與能力。

Nowadays, the U.S. design of strategy in East Asia is mainly prescribed a limit to its global primacy idea. On the one hand, Eastern Asia countries organize the regional cooperation and activities to counter terrorism, that affected by U.S. anti-terrorism strategy; on the other hand, given the complicated strategic situation, U.S. have to project strategic deployment based on the regional specialties for the future development of East Asia security. Thus, U.S. adopts a multi-dimensional strategic implement in East Asia: primacy strategy for countering global terrorism and rogue states; containment and selective engagement for dealing with emerging regional hegemony or competitor; regional alliance and cooperative security strategies for treating other Eastern Asia countries. In short, the U.S. strategic goal in East Asia is to accomplish its global interests, strive for regional leadership, and attempt to diminish the intention and capability of regional great powers.
