  1. He spoke about India and Australia at the end.

  2. I hope they never pick a side because they, like China, are seen as a representative of the developing world. India refusing to pick a side is also helping other developing countries stand by their belief in neutrality.

  3. Actually that isn't likely to happen. A survey in Southeast Asia released this month revealed that most Southeast Asians prefer to keep trading with China even if it invades Taiwan. I'm sure this will be the case for the rest of Asia. Asian countries refuse to pick sides and focus on themselves. This is why in 2019 during the Hong Kong protests when China issued the Hong Kong National Security Law at the UN, most Asian countries supported China or they abstained (including India). Most countries that opposed the law were Western countries. Only 1 Asian country opposed it and that was Japan (a country that has a long history of wanting to be associated with the West). Back in 2017, when a bill to condemn the Rohingya genocide was issued at the UN, most Asian countries abstained with mostly Western and Muslim-majority nations supporting the bill. The mentality of neutrality, not judging and keeping your head down is very strong in the Asian region and it's not easy to change.

  5.  @paulfri1569  No it doesn't. I live in the Asia-Pacific, it means everything from India to French Polynesia.

  6. "Indo-Pacifc" means Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, has nothing to do with India.

  7. Same thing

  8. No you don't. Asia-Pacific is the term that has ben used for so long. It's only under Trump that the term "Indo-Pacific" became more common.

  11.  @mikelloyd520  The second includes India too. The two terms mean the same thing. Indo-Pacific became more common because the Trump administration began using it instead of Asia-Pacific.

  12.  @mikelloyd520  Well to be fair, that's not the US definition. The definition of Asia-Pacific includes India, along with the rest of South Asia and Myanmar. I live in an Asia-Pacific country and at school we were always taught Asia-Pacific stretches from India/Pakistan to the Cook Islands/French Polynesia. There are many international products released in this part of the world which define the Asia-Pacific in the same way (e.g. Apple). Indo-Pacific is just another term to describe the same area that Asia-Pacific covers.

  13.  @_Mohit_Joshi  Indo-Pacific and Asia-Pacific basically mean the same thing. The terminology really doesn't matter.

  14.  @shanep.7184  Yeah but there are downsides to democracy in a developing nation. India is developing at a much much slower pace than China because it's a democracy. Democracy simply doesn't work for developing Asian countries, it works best in developed Asian nations like Taiwan and South Korea.
