材料一:历史学家尼尔·弗格森曾撰文指出,血腥的20世纪目睹了“西方的没落”和朝向东方的“世界重新定向”。现实主义者进一步注意到,随着中国力量的日益强大,以及美国地位的逐渐削弱,有两件事很可能会发生:其一,中国将充分利用其日益增长的影响力,重塑国际体系的规则制度,以更好地满足其利益需要;其二,这个体系中的其他国家——尤其是那些正在走下坡路的霸主——将把中国看作一个日益严峻的威胁。现实主义者预测,事态如此发展下去,将出现紧张、不信任和冲突这类权力转移过程中的典型现象。照这种观点,中国的崛起,会导致日益强大的中国与逐渐衰弱的美国为国际体系规则和领导地位产生声势浩大的争斗。

材料二:美国无疑将变成一个帝国,但并不是历史上罗马帝国、中华帝国、阿拉伯帝国、蒙古帝国和俄罗斯帝国那种单纯幅员扩张所形成的帝国,也不是英法等欧洲国家那种建立在直接控制基础上的殖民帝国,而是一种新型的帝国。它以强大的生产能力和贸易能力为基础,要求其商品和影响力能够自由进入世界各地,同时尽可能地减少对海外领土的直接控制以便节约政治和财政成本。用一句话归纳,美国作为一个国家是有边界的,作为帝国则是无边界的。这种帝国发展的逻辑正是无孔不入的资本的逻辑。

不论是否有意,美国的海军扩建一开始就不是针对英国海上霸权的,甚至可以说美国从未认真考虑过和英国进行一场海上较量。一些国会议员虽然叫嚷“美国舰队应该主宰大西洋西部和太平洋东部”,但在实际部署上,美国海军在大西洋方向完全处于防御态势,其战略构想以默认英国皇家海军对大西洋的控制为前提。这一点是与德国1897年以后海军扩建最大的区别,后者的矛头恰恰明确指向英国。
