The “It’s Not About China” Speech
Posted on Thursday February 7 2013
During February’s Forum talk, Michael Pillsbury made frequent reference to a speech by Deputy Secretary of State Ash Carter that set out the official slant on the US’s rebalancing posture. As he pointed out, the speech says at several instances that the new policy is “not about China,” in spite of the fact that it obvious is. It also demonstrates just what it is about our positioning that so infuriates the Chinese.
