Despite his consistent brilliance, @adam_tooze's newness to the security debate on China shows here. An East Asian security order large enough to accommodate China's rise isn't just a non starter in DC, but in Tokyo, Canberra, and Dehli too.
Washington isn’t listening to business on China any more

Viewed from Europe I'm sure this whole thing can look like it's all US driven, but many countries in Asia have been souring on China for a decade now. The US is not forcing Japan, Australia, or The Philippines to change their security stance vis a vis China.

Japan has actually set the tone for DC, in some cases. The strategic concept of the "Indo-Pacific" first emerged not in a DC think tank, but in Tokyo.

Hey Matt Im perfectly aware of everything you say here. But the choices that the regional actors make are not independent of the options offered to them by Washington. Something that 1920s teaches important lessons about.
