I'm not sure I agree with this--there's not enough substance really to agree or disagree--but there are some phrasings in this op-ed that strike me.

"For the first time in a long time, the United States is not overwhelmingly predominant." This is true.
"If Beijing dominates Asia, the world’s largest market, China will be globally preeminent—and is likely to use its power to coerce and weaken the United States." Also true.

What does this entail? I don't think it entails what the author is hinting. I'm not quite sure what he's hinting, though. "We need to work with those countries willing to invest resources in confronting China, such as India and Vietnam," he says.
But that's just what the Biden Administration is doing. Did he entirely miss the news about the Quad meeting? He would have spared himself that embarrassment if he subscribed to @cosmo_globalist.
