SINGAPORE, June 23 (Xinhua): The so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" does not fit with the common interests of the region and is just a US effort to create regional divisions to contain China, Chinese Ambassador to Singapore Hong Xiaoyong (pic) said in an article published on Monday.
The article published in The Straits Times and titled "Cooperation or confrontation? The way ahead for the region" is in response to an article by US Secretary of Defence Mark Esper claiming about the "goodness" of the strategy, published by the same media on June 15.
