Beijing, Feb 15 (PTI) China has slammed the US’ Indo-Pacific strategy, saying that it has no future and resurrects the “Cold War mentality” and “bloc politics” besides bringing divisions and turbulence to the region.<\/p>\n
I want to point out that ill intentions underlie the so-called Indo-Pacific strategy devised under the pretext of the China threat , Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told media here on Monday, commenting on the Biden administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy released last week.<\/p>\n
This ‘strategy’ that resurrects the Cold War mentality and bloc politics has nothing new and no future, but will only bring division and turbulence to the Asia-Pacific , Wang said.<\/p>\n
What the US says in its Indo-Pacific strategy is different from what it is actually doing, he said.<\/p>\n
The report on US’ Indo-Pacific Strategy, released last week, outlines President Joe Biden’s vision to firmly anchor the country’s position in the Indo-Pacific, strengthen the region and support India’s rise and regional leadership in the process.<\/p>\n
China, the strategic report said, is combining its economic, diplomatic, military, and technological might as it pursues a sphere of influence in the Indo-Pacific and seeks to become the world’s most influential power.<\/p>\n
The Chinese coercion and aggression spans the globe, but it is most acute in the Indo-Pacific, it said.<\/p>\n
China is also undermining human rights and international law, including freedom of navigation, as well as other principles that have brought stability and prosperity to the Indo-Pacific, the strategy report said.<\/p>\n
The report says that the US will strengthen its relationships with leading regional partners, including India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Pacific Islands.<\/p>\n
The US claims to advance ‘freedom and openness’ in the region, but is in fact forming an exclusive clique through AUKUS (US, UK, Australia) and QUAD , (US, India, Australia and Japan),” he said.<\/p>\n
The strategy asserts to strengthen regional security, but is generating grave nuclear proliferation risks that would undermine regional peace and stability, he said.<\/p>\n
It professes to promote regional prosperity, but is stoking opposition and confrontation between regional countries which undercuts the ASEAN-cantered regional cooperation architecture that has formed over the years, and poses a serious threat to regional cooperation outcomes and development prospects , he said.<\/p>\n
The strategic report on the Indo-Pacific was released on Friday, a day when a Quad Ministerial was held in Melbourne, Australia where the foreign ministers from Australia, India, Japan and the US Friday expressed concern over the malign Chinese role in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
