Debunking the Indo-Pacific Myth

• Lewrockwell.com By Pepe Escobar

Now everything one needs to know – and especially not know – about the Indo-Pacific is contained in a detailed Pentagon report.

Still: is this an act, or the real deal? After all, the strategy was unveiled by "acting" Pentagon head Patrick Shanahan (the Boeing guy), who latter committed hara-kiri, just to be replaced by another, revolving door, "acting" secretary, Mark Espel (the Raytheon guy).

Shanahan made a big deal of Indo-Pacific when he hit the 18th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore last month, picking up on his introduction to the Pentagon report to stress the "geopolitical rivalry between free and repressive world order visions" and demonizing China for seeking to "reorder the region to its advantage".
