Priorities and New Areas for U.S. Economic Cooperation with the Asia-Pacific Region
The article analyzes the first steps of the Biden administration to strengthen the resilience of American supply chains and expand interaction on key issues with allied economies in the Asia-Pacific region (APR). Critically important areas of cooperation were identified, and the agreements reached with partners at the current stage were analyzed. It is illustrated that the Biden administration is gradually forming around the United States an association of "techno-democratic" countries, in which the allied economies in the APR will play an important role. One of the most important goals of the alliance is to reduce dependence on supplies from China and reduce the influence of the PRC, potentially through the introduction of a new set of rules and standards.
