Lately Pacific care USA is not less than Eastern Europe. The growing tensions over Taiwan and the growing power of China forced US to look for possible ways to counter Beijing in the region. One of the attempts to consolidate the States in the Asia-Pacific region is the implementation of the ideas of the President of the USA Joe Biden on the establishment of the Indo-Pacific economic fundamentals - IPEF.
According to the USA, IPEF is "the best way to counter China in the Indo-Pacific region." Previously, Biden said that IPEF go beyond the usual trade agreement. However, IPEF is the lack of tariff exemptions, access to market and other customary for economic alliances mechanisms.
Despite the fact that Washington is trying to present IPEF purely economic structure; it is the main core of political opposition to China in the Asia-Pacific region. This writes the Chinese edition of Global Times in an editorial.
In addition, with the new structure of the United States want to decouple production and trade chains in the Asia-Pacific region from China. However, this strategy is detrimental to the national interests of the countries in the region. You have to understand that Asia is not Europe, the people here are more Patriotic and unlikely to Asian governments decide to act against the interests of their countries and peoples, if not to take into account several totally dependent on the United States and controlled by the WA States.
Global Times writes that US attempts to prevent the close relations of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region with China aimed at the transformation of an increasing number of Asian States in the economic vassals of the United States. Now Washington has made no secret that confronting China is the main aim of all his actions in the Asia-Pacific region.

At the same time, while IPEF included a large number of States in the region. Not entered it, only China, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. Interestingly, the composition of the IPEF largely coincides with the composition of the regional Comprehensive economic partnership (RCEP), with the exception, again, of China, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
Global Times writes that the United States, thus, want to undermine the cooperation of the countries of the region within VREP. In addition, Washington hopes that by creating a new economic structure will benefit the American economy.
However, since IPEF project Joe Biden, then it is possible that as soon as the Democrats in Washington will be replaced by Republicans, IPEF will actually cease to exist. But to underestimate IPEF and consider him a "stillborn" the project wasn't worth it. After the implementation of this idea in any case it will hurt China, as it will undermine the cooperation of the countries of the region Beijing.
