Its one of the greatest insult to ASEAN in decades by offering $150 million for those 10 members to split. Basically $15 mil each, treating them like beggars

The IPEF will be a major talking point at this week’s summit, which Biden attempted to hold twice before, only for it to be delayed when too few Southeast Asian leaders could attend. Kurt Campbell, Asia coordinator for the U.S. National Security Council, recently claimed that building deeper ASEAN ties would be a major Biden priority for 2022, a belated recognition of the region as a critical battleground for Sino-U.S. competition. Yet, IPEF omens are not promising.

The result is a mess, with Washington offering a deal few actually want.

Its basically inviting those 10 leaders and humiliates them
