The United States has unveiled a new Indo-Pacific Strategy, a resolution to implement stronger military and strategic policies with its allies to counter China’s influence.

The White House unveiled a 12-page Indo-Pacific strategy. The strategy describes China’s growing ties and influences around the world as a major challenge for the United States and its allies in the security and economic alliance.

The strategy calls for collective capacity building between US and Indo-Pacific partners to stem China’s growing activism. The Corona epidemic and climate change are also strategically described as other challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.

The strategy states that Chinese behaviour is detrimental to the United States and its partners in the Indo-Pacific region.

Similarly, the role of India for peace and stability in South Asia has been emphasized in the implementation of the strategy in the Indo-Pacific region.

In that strategy, the United States has explicitly referred to India as its “main defense partner.” The strategy also states that the United States will support India’s emerging position in South Asia.

Thirteen months after Biden came to power, Washington has unveiled a new Indo-Pacific strategy. Biden’s Indo-Pacific strategy is a continuation of most of the policies pursued by the previous Trump administration.

The Biden administration has introduced the Indo-Pacific strategy at a time when the world is becoming more polarized due to competition between the US and China over global strategic, economic and geopolitical issues.

According to international media, the US official believes that the strategy will help weaken China’s influence by forcibly expanding US military dominance around the world.

To implement its strategic plan, the United States pursues a policy of opening new embassies and consulates in the Indo-Pacific region, increasing the presence of the Peace Corps, and advancing the Indo-Pacific economic structure. The US strategy also includes plans to increase the role of the US Navy in the Indo-Pacific region.

Meanwhile, speaking to reporters in Washington, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan warned that China would pay a heavy price if it supported Russia’s possible invasion of Ukraine.
