The CNAS Indo-Pacific Security Program examines the US' role in the region and the opportunities and challenges it faces. The program focuses on issues originating in the region, including China's foreign policy and East Asian security affairs. The authors, Lisa Curtis, Joshua Fitt, and Jacob Stokes, have extensive experience in US government and policy analysis. The report emphasizes the importance of advancing a liberal digital order in the Indo-Pacific, which includes promoting freedom of expression, protecting privacy, and ensuring a level playing field for businesses. The authors suggest that the US should work with its partners in the region to promote these values and address the challenges posed by China's actions.
