United States should withdraw from Indo-Pacific Conception

By Nusrat Mirza Chief Editor “Monthly Interaction”

The world intellectuals are of the opinion that the days of USA’s primacy over the globe is fading day by day. Still the old program to maintain its upper hand is on board as that it’s military presence the Indo-Pacific and that making an alliance with India, Australia and Japan with USA to encircle China. But its withdrawal from Afghanistan and focusing on Indo-Pacific region are part of USA efforts.

Against the conception Free and Open Indo-Pacific, there is strong opposition from the regional countries except India. A new conception has been emerging to Keep USA out of Asia.  China, Russia and Pakistan are deadly against American conception of Indo Pacific as it is not in the interest of either of three countries. In fact this plan is to encircle China, weaken Russia and not allowing Pakistan to grow through CPEC.

Further, Pakistan considers that in the game of USA, India will become more powerful against the interest of Pakistan. India has already announced that it will not let CPEC work. Ajit Doval the security Advisor of India is on record that it will use even ISIS to stop the functioning of CPEC. This has alarmed China and Pakistan as CPEC is the flagship of its Road and Belt Initiative that has six roads.

Out of which CPEC is the cheapest, shortest and more feasible to reach Middle East, Africa and Europe. India has jumped in to the boggy of USA to contain China and considering itself a super power superficially. Though, it does not qualify even to the member of G-20. USA has helped it in getting the membership. India has gone too far in ambition to encircle China.

It has built 66 new roads to reach the 4086 Kilo meter border between China and India. India has made several air strips near the Chinese borders. It has also challenged in Laddakh making a separate state over which China has claim. Thus a standoff took place in May and June 15 in which about 50 Indian soldiers killed and 76 injured at the time writing this script.

China has captured about 60×80 square Kilometer area in Ladakh and Arun Chal Paradesh state of India. India at the time of writing this article asked India that normal situation shall prevail if India keeps out from the indo-Pacific plan of USA.

While, USA consider that its force must be capable across a range of “small-footprint” efforts, and larger but shorter ones; it must also be capable of timely consolidation to confront the largest threats. But the proven model of remaining flexible and drawing on partner capabilities, which the Army will continue to pursue, will, for instance, stress engaging in the entire “cooperate-compete” relationship with China rather than only challenging Beijing militarily, an applicable approach across the globe.

Even as turmoil continues to mark the Middle East, the long-term trends in global security matters are increasingly focused on the Asia-Pacific and China. Indeed, for the structural realists who believe the distribution of power between states is the root of why states do what they do and the primary driver for conditions of peace and war, the rise of China is principal on the security landscape.

In contrast, the efforts of the past decade have reduced terrorism to the status of a monster that the United States will keep chasing around the globe. While China will soon surpass the United States with the help of Russia as the global diplomatic, military, economic, and soft power leader, its rise is undeniable. In contrast to the stark U.S.Soviet Union dichotomy, the relationship between America and China has remained more interwoven, complex, and fluid.

The ideological differences between the United States and Soviet Union manifested themselves in the economic, military, and cultural domains, the U.S.-China relationship is a mix of cooperation and competition that requires balance and integration of efforts across all dimensions of national power. Executed poorly, missteps in one area could significantly damage American interests especially in the policy Indo-Pacific region. Further, USA budgets get tight; the temptation will be to drop many of the activities and missions that make global leader legitimacy.

In this situation, it is advised that USA should drop the conception of Free and Open Indo-Pacific. Not only this, but USA should withdraw from the world leadership as it is no more a single super power, its country is in internal turmoil thus making incapable of leading the world.
