This edited volume undertakes a systematic exploration of China's multifaceted interactions with five pivotal players situated in the Indo-Pacific: the United States, Japan, India, Australia, and ASEAN. By delving into both the theoretical underpinnings of state-to-state relationships and the empirical nuances of China's strategic engagements with these five critical actors, this book casts a clarifying light on the complexity of China's bilateral ties within the region.

The strategic rivalry between the United States and China has emerged as a defining feature of international politics in the Indo-Pacific region. How China engages with the U.S. and other significant stakeholders in the region will intricately shape the trajectory and character of an impending transition in the international order, either through peaceful or confrontational means in the future. Five key bilateral relationships are examined from dual perspectives, capturing insights from scholars hailing from both within China and beyond its borders. This comprehensive initiative delves into the different viewpoints held by Chinese academics and their international counterparts regarding the very same bilateral relationship to develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play. This book will captivate the attention of scholars and policy analysts alike, fascinated by the dynamics of the US–China competition and the broader realm of geopolitics.
