The Biden administration has rediscovered Asia. And, for better or worse, so has the US Congress. While the administration's national security documents (or at least their unclassified sneak previews) have identified the Indo-Pacific as a priority theater vital to US national security and China as "our most consequential strategic competitor and the pacing challenge," Europe continues to steal headlines and the lion's share of the administration's (and international media's) attention, thanks to Vladimir Putin and his unwarranted (and so far unsuccessful) invasion of Ukraine. While many eyes remain on Putin's war (and NATO's US-led solid support for Kyiv), this reporting period saw President Biden finally make his first trip to Asia to visit longstanding US allies and attend the second in-person Quadrilateral Security Dialogue ("Quad") Summit. Prior to his trip, Biden hosted his first US-ASEAN Summit in Washington. Meanwhile Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken were both in Southeast Asia, respectively for the Shangri-La Dialogue and for various ASEAN-driven ministerials. These administration trips were largely overshadowed, however, by US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's controversial trip to Taiwan, the first by a House Speaker in 25 years, which was sure to--and clearly did--draw Beijing's ire.
