US Challenges China's Influence Over Pacific Island Countries, But Does It Have Much to Offer?_我的网站

A |     预览核心要点：这基本上是结合了《阿杰历险记》风格的雅克·库斯托式探险。Nautus 在许多方面感觉像是 蒸汽世界挖掘2 和 深海迷航2 的精心结合。

B |     "For decades now, the Pacific Ocean can be fairly described as an American lake, in which the US strategic presence is actively supported by the Australian and to a lesser extent New Zealand economic and security presence," says Joseph Camilleri, emeritus professor at La Trobe University in Melbourne.,However, with the People's Republic of China's (PRC) swift economic rise, it's hardly surprising that Beijing has started to explore new possibilities in the Pacific, according to the academic.,"What has particularly troubled the United States and its principal ally in the South Pacific, Australia, is the fact that China is making inroads into what was until now considered to be an exclusive American sphere of influence," he stresses.,On July 13, Vice President Kamala Harris told the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) in Suva in a virtual address that US funding for the region would be stepped up to $60 million per year for 10 years. The newly announced endeavor includes more funding for fisheries, extra aid, and offers of new US embassies in the Pacific. In particular, the US is set to ink renewed fishing treaties with Pacific island nations allowing US vessels to fish in their exclusive economic zones (EEZ), and offering greater support for maritime surveillance in the Pacific. In addition to that, the Peace Corps – the United States government's volunteer program – will return to four countries, including Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Vanuatu, according to CNN.,Australia Welcomes 'Renewed Commitment' From US Towards Pacific, Willing to Work With China11:38 GMT,"The timing of the pledge has much to do with the strategic competition between the United States and China," Camilleri explains. "In recent years, China has made considerable headway in developing its relations with [the Pacific Island Forum (PIF)] board, including cooperation in political, security and regional affairs, aid and development, COVID response and health, Ocean affairs and climate change, and much else.",The US attempt to assert its presence in the Pacific region also comes on the heels of the Quad IUU Fishing Initiative announced in late May, according to Jay Batongbacal, director of the University of the Philippines Institute for Maritime Affairs and Law of the Sea.,The leaders of the Quad nations — Australia, India, Japan, and the United States – proposed a maritime surveillance initiative to establish a tracking system to combat illegal, unregulated, and unprotected (IUU) fishing. The Quad endeavor may be viewed as an extension of earlier initiatives against China's fishing activities in the South Pacific, according to the academic.,"The South Pacific region is presently one of the richest and most active fishery areas in the world," he highlights.,Why Asia Won't Reject Russia's Hydrocarbons or China's Rare Earths Despite US PressureYesterday, 18:54 GMT,Even if Half of Pacific Islands Ink China Pact, It'll be Beijing's Win,Two months ago, Beijing offered a draft agreement between China and 10 island nations spanning policing, security, fisheries, data, and a free trade zone. Some Pacific leaders have agreed to consider China's trade and security pact, while the others have voiced concerns that their rapprochement with Beijing could antagonize Washington.,"The Chinese proposal to establish a China-Pacific Islands cooperation framework agreement may not yet have won sufficient support but I expect that the Chinese side will persist with its proposal, and that it may be happy to proceed with it, even if only five or six Island states are prepared to sing such an agreement," says Camilleri.,Prior to that, in mid-April, the Chinese and the Solomon Islands governments formally signed a bilateral security agreement regardless of the displeasure voiced by the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Commenting on the pact on June 3, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi underscored that its purpose is "to assist the Solomon Islands in maintaining social order." He vehemently denied Western media speculation about China's apparent plans to beef up its military presence in the region.,"China has come to the South Pacific region to build roads and bridges and improve the people’s lives, not to station troops or build military bases," Wang highlighted.,© MANDEL NGANUS President Joe Biden meets with China's President Xi Jinping during a virtual summit from the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC, November 15, 2021.

The People's Republic was first invited to attend the PIF-related Talk on Establishing Dialogue Partnership held in Suva, Fiji, in 1988. Since 1990, China has attended the Post-Forum Dialogue meetings on a regular basis. In 2003, China announced its willingness to further expand economic ties with PIF member countries as well as to provide funding for the forum's secretariat.,"According to official Chinese figures, from 1992 to 2021, total trade volume between China and Pacific Island Countries (PICs) having diplomatic relations with China grew from $153 million to $5.3 billion, registering an average annual increase of 13% and expanding by over 30 times in 30 years. Similarly, by the end of 2021, China’s direct investment in PICs having diplomatic relations with China had reached $2.72 billion," says Camilleri.,The competition between the United States and its allies on the one hand and China on the other will, if anything, gather pace and intensity in the years to come, the professor says, adding that Beijing's advantage is that "it comes to the table with a much bigger checkbook, and greater opportunities for trade and investment, especially in infrastructure projects."。地表上的玩法轻松惬意，但当你驾驶潜水艇进入海底时，它就变成了一款受“银河恶魔城”启发的生存动作游戏。所谓“舒适游戏”（Cozy Game），就是要拥抱所有轻松且富有氛围的事物，在日常琐事中寻找慰藉，与不断壮大的角色社区建立联系，过好每一天。

C | 由开发商 Magic Design Studios 推出的新作 Nautus，将这种轻松的氛围带到了热带岛屿背景中，那里的水下隐藏着久远的秘密，而一些古怪的朋友将帮助你揭开真相。这是一个非常奇妙的概念，包含了一些有趣的想法，全部以经典卡通频道动画节目的风格呈现，让世界栩栩如生。在 2026 年科隆游戏展（Gamescom）以及即将开启的封闭测试之前，我们上手试玩了 Nautus，体验了其充满深海奇观的独特水下世界。

D | 除了充足的试玩时间外，我们还与游戏设计师 Damian Carmona 进行了交流，探讨了 Nautus 的制作过程，以及他们如何在继 Have a Nice Death 那种可爱哥特风的死后世界之后，打造出一个更具民俗风情、热带气息且拥有诸多水下秘密的新世界。Nautus 及其色彩斑斓的水下生存工艺冒险，本质上是结合了《阿杰历险记》风格的雅克·库斯托式探险。玩家扮演一名年轻的深海探险家，来到一座看似宁静的遥远岛屿寻找失踪的叔叔。在遇到那些正努力重建社区、性格古怪但非常随和的当地人后，你很快就能使用一艘潜水艇来稳步探索下方水域。但为了到达最深处以揭开岛屿和水下世界的谜团，你需要为你的微型潜艇升级动力，并借助地表社区的力量来实现这一目标。“我们对 Have a Nice Death 感到非常自豪，但我们想从哥特风格和黑白视觉效果做出一些改变，尝试更丰富多彩的东西，而海洋正是一个非常绚丽的设定。”开发商之前的作品、备受推崇的 2D 动作 Roguelike 游戏 Have a Nice Death——另一款具有迷人卡通风格视觉效果的游戏——是他们转向 Nautus 的垫脚石，但这更多是为了尝试更丰富多彩、更轻快的风格。游戏设计师 Damian Carmona 在我们试玩期间解释了为什么转向热带岛屿设定是一个引人入胜的节奏变化。“在 Nautus 中，我们在基调等方面进行了截然不同的冒险。我们对 Have a Nice Death 感到非常自豪，但我们想从哥特风格和黑白视觉效果做出一些改变，尝试更丰富多彩的东西，而海洋正是一个非常绚丽的设定，”该游戏总监说道。“我们说，‘嘿，让我们在这个海洋背景下做一款游戏吧。’它通过与世界的许多互动，以及生存、工艺和探索玩法，变得栩栩如生。”深入体验 Nautus 后，我立刻被岛屿的地表世界所吸引，那是一个色彩缤纷、风格化的设定，感觉就像走进了一部活生生的卡通系列剧。我也惊讶地发现，这款游戏在许多方面感觉像是 蒸汽世界挖掘2 和 深海迷航2 的精心结合。它很好地采用了生存工艺结构，需要收集木材和其他资源来建造工作台，并满足其他需求以保持地表据点的运作，同时还要确保你做好了潜水准备。探索深海需要一定的“手艺”——在这款游戏中确实如此——你需要为这种转变做好准备。在我的开场任务中，Nautus 非常注重建立一个由古怪岛民组成的社区，同时提升潜水艇的动力，以便在不被压力压碎的情况下到达深处。就像 蒸汽世界挖掘2 一样，Nautus 的核心重点是增强主角的工具箱和社交网络。有了更好的工具、工艺技能和可以提供见解及幽默台词的朋友，你将成为一名更有能力的深海探险家。

E | 我最喜欢的角色之一是 Umiko，这位年迈的机械师负责让你修理潜水艇站，并为你提供更大的目标。她可能有点冷淡，但她是你在冒险中最好的盟友之一。一旦你帮她找回掉进水里的助听器，你就能获得她的好感。有趣的是，除了卡通片，开发商在塑造围绕主角的奇特角色阵容时，还受到了电视剧《办公室》（The Office）的启发。除了 Umiko 和 Mitchell（经营水下装备店的随性岛民），你还会遇到古老的岛屿神灵，它会赋予你生存于深海所需的必要升级。潜水后回到地面，感觉就像回到了一个安全但古怪的避难所，冷淡的居民在这里过着悠闲的生活，而长久、黑暗的秘密就隐藏在下方。这就是 Nautus 的核心玩法发生奇怪但有趣转变的地方，因为它转变成了一种生存体验。当控制潜水艇时，Nautus 会转变为一款受“银河恶魔城”启发的生存动作游戏，你必须小心翼翼地穿过危险区域，并对抗充满敌意的水生生物。

F | 虽然这不像 Dredgers - 沉没的王国 或 深海迷航2 那样会有突然的恐怖元素转折，但 Nautus 在其海底航行中仍旨在营造一种怪异的氛围。除了敌对生物，你还必须管理潜水艇的能量，以及潜水员需要单独行动时的氧气。当然，这与你的目标紧密相连：尽可能深入地探索水下世界，寻找失落的文物以及关于失踪叔叔去向的线索。我非常喜欢探索 Nautus 的海底世界，许多地表世界的元素都是在为这些潜水时刻做铺垫。探索过程虽然怪异，但也充满诱惑且绚丽多彩，不同的生物群落逐渐过渡到更具外星感的感官海景。

G | 它将表现力强且细腻的视觉风格提升到了一个新的高度，Nautus 的海底世界是我在生存工艺游戏中见过的最迷人的场景之一。Nautus 的海底世界是我在生存工艺游戏中见过的最迷人的场景之一。

H | 对于开发商来说，打造这个海底世界的关键在于保持地表那种诱人的氛围，同时确保海底与其形成鲜明对比，从而创造一个引人入胜的探险环境——一个你可以按照自己的节奏稳步探索的环境。“我们喜欢将 Nautus 视为将 深海迷航2 中可能发现的潜艇探索的刺激与神秘感，与更轻松的地表体验相结合，玩家可以在地表按自己的节奏进行准备和推进，”Carmona 说道。“我们追求的体验实际上是两者之间的节奏——在地表花时间准备探险，然后潜回深处，去探索比以前更奇怪、更危险的地方。”从这次早期的 Nautus 试玩来看，我不禁对开发商 Magic Design Studios 所实现的这种有趣平衡留下了深刻印象。

I | 生存工艺游戏有时很难让人找到节奏，尤其是从长远来看，但我真的被 Nautus 那种轻松惬意的基调所吸引。这不仅是一个富有表现力、受卡通启发的世界，让人感到亲切和有趣；它还拥有一些非常聪明、成熟的生存动作元素，让人感到兴奋。如果你正在寻找一款新的生存工艺游戏，那么你不用等太久，因为封闭测试将于 8 月 31 日开启，目前已在 Steam 上开启报名。

J | Nautus 的卡通世界是一场引人入胜的冒险，我很期待在正式版中看到更多内容。在阅读本文的同时，也可以看看我们最近试玩的其他即将推出的重磅游戏预览！Star Wars: Zero Company漫威金刚狼Star Wars: Galactic Racer。
