Defense chief Lloyd Austin has claimed the US is focused on maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific, and not splitting the region into blocs.

In a keynote speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia’s top security conference, Austin said, “the stakes are especially stark in the Taiwan Strait.” This comes amid multiple warnings from China against US military cooperation with Taiwan, which Beijing considers to be part of its territory.

Austin stressed that Washington’s policy regarding Taiwan remains unchanged – the US is committed to the One-China policy, “categorically opposes any unilateral changes in the status quo,” and therefore does not support the island’s independence.

Would the US consider actions off its coast as just maintaining stability?

    Nothing the US says means anything, they will literally say one thing today and another tomorrow depending on who they are speaking to. Also it literally doesn’t matter because they will change their position on a whim if and when it suits them.

    The only constant remains the fact that they are an empire in terminal decline that is growing increasingly desperate and will do anything it thinks it can get away with to try and cling to primacy.
