The United States has faltered grievously in its China-policy thrusts for the last two decades by dithering on facing China squarely when all indicators portended that China was in a calibrated strategy under-mining United States vital national security interests in the Indo Pacific Region.
The United States ignoring strategic imperatives for 'China-Containment' strategies shied away in arresting China's growing military adventurism on all its peripheries in the Indo Pacific.
The United States over-weighed by its 'China Hedging Strategies' and 'Risk Aversion Strategies' gave a flawed veneer to its faltering thrust on China by terming that the United States will adopt a policy thrust of "Congagement" with US strategists espousing the 'mantra' of 'Trust but Verify' and that the United States would make a cocktail of its China-policy thrust by blending part 'Containment' and part 'Engagement'.
The United States China-policy therefore can be asserted to be one of fudging the China Threat and its potent potential to challenge US predominance in the Indo Pacific.
Contextually, therefore in 2020, what stands proven is that United States China-policy of the last two decades with its misperceived notions that China would change with time into a benign power has miserably failed.
China has not only refused to change its legacy aggressive stripes but gone headlong into a wild military aggression pattern all over the Indo Pacific combined with political, economic and military coercion against virtually all its neighbours excepting Pakistan.
In the above process, he United States till lately suffered a serious dent in US image in Asian countries raising doubts that the United States was the guarantor and Nett provider of Indo Pacific security against China bent on claiming for itself "Strategic Frontiers" as opposed to well defined historical "Geographical Frontiers".
In 2020, when China now feels militarily empowered to challenge United States traditional predominance and hold on Indo Pacific Security, can the United States afford to still pursue its misperceived "Congagement" China-policy thrust?
Surely, the United States cannot afford to pursue his China-policy thrust any longer as what would then be at stake is the United States continued embedment in Indo Pacific with all its attendant national security implications of a crumbled "Outer Perimeter of Defence" of US Homeland.
Post China Wuhan Virus19 Pandemic China today stands politically isolated with even Asian fence-sitters no longer enamoured by China.
This is an opportune moment for the United States in the Indo Pacific to adopt an active 'China Containment" policy thrust and galvanise Indo Pacific nations behind its leadership to send an unequivocal signal to China that Indo Pacific Nations with the United States in the lead will henceforth "PUSHBACK" China's military adventurism and all political, economic and military coercion.
