Bukan, itu konsep geopolitik lama pengganti konsep Asia-Pasifik, khususnya geopolitik kemaritiman. Indo-Pasifik ini jadi terdengar seperti konsep "baru" setelah Blok Barat merasa perlu mewaspadai konsep String of Pearls yang digelar RRC di Samudra Indonesia. Terlebih setelah Trump memasukkan Indo-Pasifik ke dalam strategi keamanan nasional AS (NSS) yang disusul dephan AS dalam strategi pertahanannya (NDS). Hampir bisa dipastikan AS mau mengambilalih / mengangkangi konsep geopolitik "baru" ini untuk kepentingan strategisnya sendiri. Kita tunggu saja seberapa seru Indo-Pasifik ini melawan String of Pearls + OBOR. * kata 'indo' di sini bukan tentang NKRI & Pasifik, tapi mengacu ke geopolitik di kawasan Samudra Indonesia. Indo-Pasifik = geopolitik di kedua kawasan samudra tsb.Geografis Indonesia, di posisi silang 2 samudra tsb. Nah, kira-kira apa yang sudah disiapkan Menko Maritim RI?
