The US has a new commander in the Pacific. Here’s what to expect from him.

The collapse of the TPP was a result of discrepancies at three levels.

Washington’s current Asia-Pacific strategy is financially unsustainable. Instead of trying to organize a containment system, Washington should focus on advancing its few serious interests, such as freedom of navigation. Otherwise the U.S. should step back and leave China’s neighbors free to respond to whatever they believe necessary.

Secretary Mattis says he would explore deepening defense ties during visit to Indonesia.

China should start building a community with a shared future for mankind from the Asia Pacific.

Is Trump’s Asia policy really that different from his predecessors’?

When a U.S. president goes on a tour of a region of the world, the goals can range from reassuring existing alliances, to encouraging the adoption of democratic values such as human rights, to working on building diplomatic relations and economic development. Not President Donald Trump.

Australia should strengthen its alliance with the US to counter growing Chinese power in the Indo-Pacific region amid tensions over maritime disputes, according to a new government report.

America’s attempts to contain China will fail, because, time and again, economics trumps politics.

Faced with a global economy in transition, we should uphold multilateralism, pursue shared growth through consultation and collaboration, forge closer partnerships, and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
