China's Foreign Ministry responded after Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised concerns about Beijing's 'aggressive actions' in Asia.
During a speech at the University of Indonesia, Blinken defined the existing"rules-based order" as granting all countries the right to"choose their own path, free from coercion, free from intimidation." He said the goal of defending the established norms"is not to keep any country down."
Responding to the remarks, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a regular press conference that American policy toward China was"contradictory" because it trumpeted the"China threat" while claiming the U.S. doesn't want conflict. "It should be a promoter of dialogue and cooperation in the region instead of a saboteur that drives wedges between regional countries and undermines regional solidarity and cooperation," he said.
The American political and military realignment to Asia inevitably involves deeper engagement with ASEAN, often described as central—geographically but economically, too—to the future of the broader Indo-Pacific. However, observers are still awaiting the Biden administration's renewed strategy for the region and a trade policy that can rival China's many inducements.
