Blinken to tour 6 Asian nations to assure US commitment to region

The Biden administration is sending top diplomat Antony Blinken to tour Asia and assure allies that America remains committed to the Indo-Pacific region. The trip comes at a time of upheaval in Washington that could see changes in foreign policy after presidential elections in November. Caroline Malone reports from Washington DC.

Asia can see the desperation from America. No America=no war in Asia= Asia prosperity.

So Wang Yi is there to strengthen business ties and Asian unity while Blinken is there trying to keep tensions going.

What's he doing here? He will be out of the job soon...

How do you keep your commitment when you're about to lose your job?
It’s more like saying goodbye or looking around for a job.

Only Japan and Philippines are two countries that form the first island chain.

If the US had been trustworthy, there is no need for reassurance.

Literally no one cares, only 3 more months in office 😂

Angmoh fiction writers created the history of Roman Empires after they read the history of China 7 centuries ago. They can create fake history, but they won't be able to digest what they learned from the Chinese. Angmohs are still quite primitive in the selection of their leaders.
Ha ha ha!

I hope my country india is not one of the countries he is visiting to provide reassurance. We are quite self assured. Thank you very much.

Blinken has zero credibility… it’s a waste of time…

US used to be the defender of security and peace in the past. But sadly not so today. Increasingly it is being viewed by nations of the world as a threat to peace and the instigator of chaos and conflicts. Wherever in the world where there is conflict, the US is the constant....I am sure the leaders of those Asian nations don't look forward to Blinken's visit for they already know what is in the agenda... which is, "Either you are at the table or on the menu..."

He should be staying in us.... looking for his new job... that is if anyone wants him....

[kennethkong]

What an appropriate name., Blinkin because he lies

[leowsiawsun]

He is bidding farewell to the region before disappearing from the world stage. Perhaps he is looking for a job in the region.

Mongolia is a really funny choice - I'm interested to know what assurance can Murica give them or what can they offer Murica as a land-locked country sandwiched between two of Murica's most powerful adversaries.🙄

Asians can just accept by saying, "Bo Bian one lah"🤭🏳️🏳️🏳️

Blinken is trying to increase the number of his wolf gang 😬🫵👎
