The question remains how much value economically is going to benefit the Asia-Pacific region, specifically the ASEAN countries who's largest trading partners is CHINA. What incentives is the U.S. prepared to offer on the table not only for these countries being enticed to partake in what essentially a CHINA containment strategy other than TRUST ME BRO?
The U.S. is not part of or to any trade agreements with these countries it's not a part of the recently signed and started R.C.E.P. not a member of CPTPP not anything.
This report is nothing BUT HYPE IN TRYING to persuade and soothe the concerns of their domestic audiences that they're doing something tangible and tough against China. And all this laughable so called strategic report is nothing more than just a propaganda b.s. amplified by the western media.
China shouldn't be alarmed by this move or recent pronouncements because what matters are not what's being said but what's being done on the ground and the corresponding NUMBERS that supports that CHINA'S importance ECONOMICALLY can't be just wished away by any American President's wishful aspirations.
I thought the feeble and failed attempt by then TRUMP administrations so called TRADE WAR would have taught the Americans important and valuable lessons but it seems that Americans can't see beyond the hammer as it's policy proposals against a determined and inevitable China.

China should highligh the U.S. genocide in Afghanistan to the mainstream and with a specail emphasis on the developing third world countries the West is trying to reestablish a bigger presence in.
I just don't get it anymore. Their strategems are too advanced for simple minds like mine
The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.
In a world where Germany and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance accounts. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power. This is why the Biden administration opposes Nord Stream. It’s not just a pipeline, it’s a window into the future; a future in which Europe and Asia are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Warmer relations between Germany and Russia signal an end to the “unipolar” world order the US has overseen for the last 75 years. A German-Russo alliance threatens to hasten the decline of the Superpower that is presently inching closer to the abyss. This is why Washington is determined to do everything it can to sabotage Nord Stream and keep Germany within its orbit. It’s a matter of survival.
NOTE: Payments for Russian natural gas that transits Ukraine to Europe are settled in USD.
Payments for Russian natural gas that transits the Baltic Sea to Germany via the first Nord Stream pipeline are settled in Euros, as will payments for gas from Nord Stream II.

Is this how it starts?
