US foreign policy initiatives in the Indo-Pacific seem focused on containing China and its influence.
This fall, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is slated to lead a bipartisan group of U.S. senators to China. The planned trip, like other recent visits to China by high-ranking U.S. officials, is aimed at improving the relationship between the U.S. and China.
U.S. Reps. Mike Gallagher and Raja Krishnamoorthi echoed similar sentiments during an event held by the Council on Foreign Relations think tank in New York City the following day. The U.S. also signed onto a deal with the European Union, Saudi Arabia and India that will help connect the Middle East, Europe and Asia through rails and ports. Characterizing it as a “real big deal,” Biden said the rail and ports agreement would help stabilize and integrate the Middle East.
What the US’s agreement with India means for China In their meeting on the sidelines of the G20, Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to deepen collaboration on developing critical and emerging technology, such as quantum computing and space exploration, as well as 5G and 6G telecommunications. This will help India compete with China in the technological arena in the Indo-Pacific.
The enhanced partnership includes the U.S. providing $2 million to fund teaching labs and training courses for semiconductor assembly, testing and packaging.

‘President basement’: Joe Biden avoids all the ‘tough questions’Sky News contributor Megyn Kelly says US “basement” President Joe Biden “still won’t talk” to the media or answer any difficult questions. “Not that there’s a reporter out there who’s willing to ask him tough questions,” Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray. Ms Kelly remarked that Donald Trump openly talks about his criminal indictments and will accept interviews from various media outlets, which she gave him “immense credit” for. This observation was contrasted with Joe Biden’s consistent refusal to participate in interviews or answer difficult questions from reporters. “The press lets him get away with this complete camouflage routine where you never get to see the real him – because nobody ever puts tough questions to him.”
