... that seeks to contain China from different sides. The US, UK, and Australia already cover the Pacific region and aim to strengthen their presence in the Indian Ocean, while Japan is capable of fortifying the East China Sea, raising further concerns for China’s strategic leadership. The expansion of AUKUS and Japan's inclusion in this arrangement adds a significant dimension to the materialization of the US; the Indo-Pacific strategy militarily contains China's expanding influence. Japan, being a technologically advanced country, can use its military ...

Over time India might build stronger ties to NATO through some customized “NATO+” format and to AUKUS, especially if the tensions in India-China relations get stronger. The United States will encourage India to deepen its relations with other U.S. partners and allies in the Indo-Pacific region, including Japan, ROK, Australia and New Zealand. India might also work closer with the key U.S....
... How do you comment on this move by the U.S.?
Sanakoev:
They are making a new NATO in the Asia-Pacific region. It's crazy of them. We even don't understand why mankind needs NATO. When they cannot answer this question, they are opening another project AUKUS in the Asia-Pacific region.
This is not the way of developing. The only way is through dialogue. That is the most important thing which is on the proposals of China in such initiatives as Global Development Initiative or the Global Security Initiative. Now we have a new initiative, Global Civilization Initiative. This is a very strong theory of Chinese President Xi Jinping about the shared future and all countries ...
... and France, and the leading industrial powerhouses, Germany and Japan, are much more closely bound to the policies of the US than they were in the Cold War era. Having encouraged NATO to move to the Indo-Pacific and having founded a new military bloc (AUKUS), which specifically targets China, Washington is using the total power of its alliances against both of its rivals in Eurasia, China, and Russia. It is also hoping to beat those rivals one by one – first, eliminate Russia as a major power, and then make China accept American conditions....

Delhi is also reluctant for the Quad to take on any AUKUS-like military role in “containing” China, preferring instead for their approach to be comparatively more friendly, gentle, and non-hostile so as not to risk a war by miscalculation that could destabilize the larger region of which India is an integral part. Framed another way, India’s ...

In practical terms, this means that the United States will strive to increase its presence, range of partners and military-political commitments in Asia and strengthen relations with those countries it considers important in containing China (the creation of AUKUS and Biden’s statement that Washington will provide military assistance to Taiwan in the event of a military invasion by the PRC is a direct confirmation). It also intends to maintain its presence in Europe and support for Ukraine and Georgia as ...
