Контроль над ним – приоритетная задача для КНР и США как сильнейших игроков на мировой арене.

Methodology

Methodology. The main content of the study is the analysis of texts of foreign researchers. These materials are devoted to China’s foreign policy course and strategies of the states which are interested in the affairs of the region.

Results

Results. The analysis showed that the actions of the United States and China in the Indo-Pacific region are operations within the framework of a hybrid war as a modern form of international conflict. The South China Sea is becoming an increasingly important object due to its economic, military, resource and strategic importance. Taking control of it is a priority task for China and the United States as the strongest rivals on the world stage.

Research implications

Research implications. The new material on the topic under study has been summarized. The activities of the key rivals in the region have been considered through the prism of the hybrid warfare conception.
