Aug. 4, 2018 – Then there is this news item. Australia will work with Japan and the United States to invest in infrastructure development and other projects in the Indo-Pacific region. The three countries formed a partnership for that purpose, judging that “more support is needed to enhance peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region,” the Australian government said in a statement, apparently bearing in mind China’s growing influence there through its Belt and Road initiative. This partnership is designed to promote infrastructure investment mainly in energy, transportation, tourism and technology. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the United States will invest $113 million in the fields of cybersecurity, energy and infrastructure in the Indo-Pacific region. Uh, I’m sorry but, what about OUR infrastructure?
