520			_aThe time has come for the United States to build a collective defense pact in Asia. For decades, such a pact was neither possible nor necessary.

But without a robust commitment to collective defense, the Indo-Pacific is on a path to instability and conflict.- Reproduced https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/case-pacific-defense-pact-ely-ratner
