  • Description: According to the Vision: «Such practices, which Beijing exports to other countries through its political and economic influence, undermine the conditions that have promoted stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific for decades».11 The reference to Beijing’s «political and economic influence» was a not-so-veiled critique of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), seen by Washington as Beijing’s attempt to create a sphere of influence based on radically different values than the ones advanced by the US. [...]the reintroduction of some form of US economic support to the Asian countries within the US political sphere of influence was welcomed by most US decision makers and, indeed, realised, although in a limited fashion, in 2018.12 The attempt to find some economic props for the Trumpian US’ China policy was however de facto undermined by the President himself. A great deal of political and scholarly attention has been devoted to the fact that one of the highlights of the Trumpian foreign policy was the trade war on China, started in 2018 by the US President with his decision to impose tariffs on imported industrial and technology goods from the East Asian country. [...]Washington’s goal became that of forcing the «erring» countries to tilt their trade balance towards parity, lest they risk the imposition of punitive tariffs on their imports.
