## Resource

Hegseth’s pivot at Shangri-La signals a recalibrated U.S. stance in the Indo-Pacific: balancing firm deterrence against China’s rising power with renewed emphasis on cooperation, while allies brace for a region where dominance by any one power threatens stability. Amid concerns over U.S. focus on other global fronts and potential policy missteps, the AUKUS alliance pushes ahead with cutting-edge underwater drone tech to safeguard critical infrastructure — all as Taiwan remains a central flashpoint in America’s Pacific strategy.
