I second to your thought.... I deliberately avoid using the Washington coined term, instead insisting on using ASIA-PACIFIC.... "Indo-Pacific" is a politically charged term to replace the natural geography of Asia and Pacific -- ASIA-PACIFIC. Just stick with the time tested PROPER natural geography!I detest using or following the use of "Indo-Pacific" from what's been traditionally known term which is Asia-Pacific. Doing so means we're already buying into the artificial narrative the Americans have instigated and hooked it's allies to follow.
