Its reception by regional states varies by issue area, with infrastructure and investment being positively received, and trade being negatively received. To alleviate policy clashes and lessen the "noodle bowl" effect of overlapping rules and regulations, this paper suggests that American and Asian governments should: (1) immediately pursue collaboration in the areas of investment and infrastructure; (2) advance investment cooperation via capacity training and investment treaty consolidation; (3) enhance infrastructure collaboration via the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development Act of 2018 (or BUILD Act of 2018), joint ventures, public-private partnerships, and capacity training; (4) push forward trade cooperation via formal and Track 2 (informal networks) dialogue to facilitate a policymaking process; and (5) encourage more inter-bloc dialogue.xii, 51 p.en-USUnited States - Foreign economic relations - AsiaUnited States - Foreign economic relations - Pacific AreaPacific Area - Foreign economic relations - United StatesAsia - Foreign economic relations - United StatesUnited States - Foreign economic relations - Indo-Pacific RegionIndo-Pacific Region - Foreign economic relations - United StatesBook
