UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND CHINA: A GEOPOLITICAL VIEW

Summary/Abstract: The state as a subject of geopolitical research is a very interesting area of security analysis. This applies to all geopolitical entities with particular distinction of global powers, which are currently both the United States and China. These global powers are now shaping international relations in the world according to their own interests, but their goals in implementing this policy may be convergent or contradictory. This paper presents the implementation of geopolitics by the United States, which is aimed at maintaining the dominant position in the world, including exercising control of transport routes at critical points of the globe. China, on the other hand, operates in a similar way, because this power strives to ensure the freedom of action on all continents, in order to gain an economic advantage (which has already succeeded) and military advantage over the United States. Both powers have strictly defined geoeconomic and geostrategic concepts which they are trying to implement. Particularly noteworthy is the „One Belt, One Road” project, implemented by China, covering the entire area of Europe and Asia. India also participates in this project, but independently, they implement another program that shows to be of interest to Japan and the United States as well as to China.
