Living in a 'western' country, the words of war drown out most other narratives, so it's wonderful to read this article, Gordon. The new order of things is being built as we speak, away from the buzz of the 'western' media, who appears to be unaware, or not care. Thanks for providing the alternate information, of one where global cooperation is being reshaped, emphasis on 'cooperation'. Hopefully, the war mongers will not succeed.
"He asserted that the United States—as an "Indo-Pacific nation" (?)—has no plans to leave the region".
Although I had not learned of the USA's arrival in the Indo-Pacific region, it would presumably be a mammoth project to shift it bodily back to where it came from. Sort of like having one of those 10-ton prehistoric giant sloths come and camp out in your house. A carnivorous one.
Organisers of the Shangrila Dialogue should be sacked. They seem to have no idea what the genuine security issues are. I would be discussing climate change (from a security perspective), the genocide in Gaza (in particular the West’s support and enablement of the genocide), the international refugee crisis and nuclear proliferation. Instead, the dialogue talks about imaginary issues made up by people in the West looking for an excuse to go to war.

France still has colonies in the Pacific and calls locals a "threat", how typical.
