$1.4 billion for "Asia Reassurance Initiative Act"

what's this, seems bad https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/2736/text

to conduct regular bilateral and multilateral engagements, particularly with the United States' most highly- capable allies and partners, to meet strategic challenges, including-- (A) certain destabilizing activities of the People's Republic of China

literally just admitting it lol :thinkin-lenin:

I think this this is the act that passed in 2018, they're just piling more money toward it.
