Russia on Wednesday criticized the United States for introducing a new Indo-Pacific concept it said was aimed at containing China.

I don't think it's new. It's been that way since 1948 when the CCP, which was originally formed as branch of the Soviet Communist Party, outsted the Chinese Nationalists to Taiwan.

The Indo-Pacific concept being pushed by the United States, Japan and others was to reconfigure the existing structure, he said.

Only China is trying to reconfigure the existing structure with their 9-dash line claim and building military bases on artificial islands. The US and it's allies are simply trying to prevent further terrotorial expansion.

The USA wants 4 things for all people.

1) democratic rule with representatives directly picked by the electorate

4) Happiness and prosperity for everyone.

We can understand why Putin and Xi might not like that? Other dictators have issues with those goals as well.

Some day, the world will be like that. I can see it.

In the ongoing competition for which empire rules.
