US Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has been carefully mapping out his foreign policy vision, but the response in Asia so far has been blurred.

Foreign policy analysts, commentators and media do not provide a uniform picture, but unlike government officials they are at least at liberty to speculate on what a Kerry win in November might mean for Asian trade and politics.

Those experts say some fundamental relationships, such as with China, would be unlikely to change. But other areas, such as South Asia, could find they receive less attention if Kerry's focus switched.
