A proposal by a US think tank calling for a reduction of American military commitments in the western Pacific has caused unease among Washington's allies in Asia, according to a report by Deutsche Welle.

The report states that the recommendation, if adopted, would represent a significant shift in US strategic posture in the region, where Washington has long maintained forces and defense agreements intended to counterbalance China's growing influence.

Analysts cited in the report cautioned that a US withdrawal or reduction of forces in the western Pacific would weaken deterrence against Beijing and could strengthen China's strategic position in the region.

According to Deutsche Welle, the suggestion has raised concern among US allies in Asia, who view the American military presence as a key element of regional security arrangements built up over decades.

The report did not specify further details on the scope of the proposed pullback or the specific allied countries responding, but noted that the debate reflects broader questions about the future of US strategic commitments in Asia amid rising tensions with China.

Deutsche Welle reported that the discussion comes amid ongoing scrutiny of US defense priorities and alliance structures in the Indo-Pacific region.
