The United States is not seeking conflict in the Indo-Pacific, nor is it seeking to contain China, said Admiral John C. Aquilino, Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific command, during a lecture in Singapore
SINGAPORE, March 16 - The current friction in the Indo Pacific is alarming and "trending in the wrong direction", but the U.S. presence was not an effort to contain or invite conflict with China, a senior U.S. admiral said on Thursday.
Aquilino said the United States, with its exercises and patrols in the region, was not seeking conflict or to contain China, and would not support Taiwan's independence.earlier this month that "conflict and confrontation" would be inevitable without a change in Washington's attitude, Aquilino said it was important he ensures that his partners and China know that U.S. was not looking for a fight.
"There's a place for China in this world to adhere and follow the rules like all the rest of us do," he said.Xinghui leads the Singapore bureau, directing coverage of one of the region’s bellwether economies and Southeast Asia's main financial hub. This ranges from macroeconomics to monetary policy, property, politics, public health and socioeconomic issues.
