Unanimity expressed the Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress about one of the foreign policy issues. We are talking about the issue of countering US and China to strengthen the Asia-Pacific region.

The legislative initiative is, to increase funding within the framework of military-technical cooperation with Taiwan. So, for five years, "China containment" of the US budget will be sent to half a billion dollars, part of which will go to the maintenance of military bases, located in the immediate vicinity of the territory of China (Although the territory of Taiwan as Beijing considers its).
The bill will also maintain regular arms sales to Taiwan and financing patrols near disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Initially, the idea of increasing funding for US military operations in the Asia-Pacific region came from Senator John McCain. It is reported by another senator - Cory Gardner, actively supports the initiative. It is proposed to deepen cooperation with Taiwanese partners, in order to "prevent the spread of Chinese influence".
From the statement Gardner:
We create the ARIA project, aimed at improving security in the Asia-Pacific region.
The senators say, It recalls that the ARIA project to contain Russia in Europe.
by the way, new bill eliminates funding for cooperation with the Philippines. The reason - in politics and rhetoric of the President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte.
