Geopolitics of Indo-asia Pacific
China Quarterly of International Strategic Studies Vol. 3, No. 4
The Indo-Pacific has become a focal point of global geopolitics, with China and the United States vying for influence. China is actively strengthening its position through the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI), which promotes economic cooperation and connectivity. The United States, perceiving China’s rise as a challenge to its global supremacy, has responded by increasing its military presence and enhancing its strategic “Quad” partnership with Japan, Australia, and India. The shift in U.S. policy from the Obama administration’s “Rebalancing” strategy to the Trump administration’s “America First” security-focused approach has been met with some resistance in the region. As a result, China’s influence is expected to continue to expand through the BRI and other regional integration initiatives.
