US Indo-Pacific Strategy in mess in South Asia, Myanmar
The US Indo-Pacific Strategy faces significant setbacks in Bangladesh and Myanmar, with Bangladeshis now questioning the US commitment to democracy and human rights. Ambassador Peter Haas’s advocacy for fair elections in Bangladesh initially raised hopes among pro-democracy groups. However, the January 7 election—which saw minimal action from the US against alleged election irregularities—left many disillusioned. The Biden administration’s alignment with India as a key IPS partner is also scrutinized, as India’s focus on its own interests often counters regional democratic objectives. In Myanmar, US support has similarly faltered, with promised assistance to democratic forces remaining largely symbolic, while China’s influence grows stronger. These challenges highlight both strategic missteps and waning regional confidence in US commitments to its Indo-Pacific goals.
