Indo Pacific Nations come together to push back China

Nations are coming together to push back China. The upcoming meeting of foreign ministers in India is going to discuss ways to push back China’s growing notorious and dangerous power tussle moves in the Indo-Pacific region.

Japan, Australia, the United States along with India are going to discuss ways that Beijing can be stopped from building up its military power with the intent of gaining strength around the Indo-Pacific and Eurasia regions.

Despite the US increasing its military power, especially at sea, China has continued to move ahead at a maddening pace. While most of the nations around the South China sea continue to get back on their feet post the Covid-19 led lockdowns and resulting economic slowdown, China has been busying itself in consolidating power around them.

Moving ahead to help such nations, the US extended support to Taiwan. Further, nations like Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia are also trying to figure out ways to protect their sovereignty.
In July, US secretary of state Michael Pompeo proposed the formal termination of a 40 years old US-China policy engagement of mutual benefits. Further, in September, an internal bill was circulated demanding that the US should put an end to the ‘One China’ policy that would support the road ahead for talks over US-Taiwan Free Trade agreement.

Further, China’s movement on the Line of Actual Control near the India-China border has pushed back trade and bilateral relations between the countries to decades. China continues to garner support from Pakistan to be able to respond back at India, the latter being more prepared climatically and militarily lest there were chances of open confrontations.
