Abstract

The USA and China are the two most powerful and accountable states in the world. As for the right, 7 countries have access to the China Sea. The countries maintain intensive relations using economic ties and maritime routes. The US is trying to gather more allies to prevent Chinese hegemony. The United States is also not going to lose its strong position in Asia, which can be expressed by trying to put pressure on other countries in the Asia and Pacific region. At the same time, its main interest in the region is to ensure freedom and safety of navigation. The area is attractive because of its abundant supply of organic fertilizer, which is very popular in world markets. This is why the US is interested in the region, and Beijing wants to have the largest fleet and infrastructure in the region.
