Reining in China – The American Mind

 Former prime minister Tony Abbot, now special envoy to India, is pushing for an India-Australia trade deal. In other words, he s looking to remove China from the trading equation, permanently. For far too long, according to Abbott, China has  exploited the West s goodwill. The days of exploitation, if Abbott has his way, may soon become a thing of the past. Kevin Rudd, also a former prime minister, recently called on regional powers to unite against China. The United States and its major allies must unite around this point. Strategic dialogue is the first step, but this dialogue must be turned into something more concrete. With Australia and India forming a trade agreement, perhaps the United States and its allies can turn their attention to emerging countries like India and Indonesia, a geopolitical jewel in the Indo-Pacific region.
