If U.S economy continues to weaken, they will have more internal and external problems and will have difficulties in executing their global hegemonic strategic plans.
All the other main players are building up their blocs and going on the counterattack.

Full text of joint statement of China-ASEAN commemorative summit
BALI, Indonesia, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and leaders of the 10 ASEAN member nations issued a joint statement Friday at a summit commemorating the 20th anniversary of the China-ASEAN dialogue relations in Bali, Indonesia.
The following is the full text of the statement.
...China will support and cooperate closely with ASEAN to realize the ASEAN Community in 2015, comprising three pillars, namely, the ASEAN Political Security Community, the ASEAN Economic Community and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community.
We reaffirm that the ASEAN Plus Three process would continue as a main vehicle towards the long-term goal of building an East Asian community with ASEAN as the driving force.
We look forward to the outcome of the East Asia Vision Group II as part of the efforts to lay down a new vision of East Asia cooperation and community building in light of 15th Anniversary of the ASEAN Plus Three Cooperation in 2012...

The Eurasian Union Has Begun
http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-11-18/europe/30413972_1_belarus-vladimir-putin-output
In the pro-government Moscow daily Izvestia earlier this month, Putin wrote that the new grouping would be built around the nucleus of the Russia-Belarus-Kazakhstan customs union, which is set to be upgraded into a common market next year. He insisted that this is not a plan to reincarnate the Soviet Union, but rather to build a voluntary club of former Soviet republics driven primarily by economic imperatives.
"We propose creating a powerful supranational union capable of becoming a pole in the modern world, and at the same time an effective bridge between Europe and the dynamic Asia-Pacific Region," Putin wrote.
Putin's super-state would at first be for post-Soviet nations that want privileged access to Russian energy and markets, and also fear the growing economic might and ambitions of China, says Vladimir Zharikhin, deputy director of the Kremlin-funded Institute of the Commonwealth of Independent States in Moscow.
"There is a global tendency to form economic clusters, such as the EU, ASEAN or NAFTA, but these are all closed to former Soviet states," he says. "Look at Ukraine, which has hit a brick wall in its efforts to integrate with the EU. We need to form our own cluster, there's no other way."

USA is declining as a super power. if you know history well, great empires fall, esp the roman and ottoman empire.
USA has huge debts, sure they have the printing presses, as they can print US dollars, but it will debase the currency and create hyper inflation. US debts is unsustainable. they cant afford to place troops overseas already. 2 wars in 2000s has taken a toll on their finances. I dunno why they continue to place troops in Japan and other countries for, with the exception of afghanistan and Iraq.

Re-engagement will come at too high a cost if it is widely seen as a path to confrontation with China, rather than overdue attention to everyone else. The US and the Asia-Pacific countries need to maintain productive relationship with China.
