The article discusses modern state of Chinese-American relations under the conditions of simultaneous existence of rivalry and cooperation between two countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Up to the author’s view relations between China and USA depend increasingly on poor-predictable and fast-changing situation in the region. Facing difficulties in direct military containment, USA reveal certain flexibility in building relations with China. While establishing mechanisms of global control, China is not ready to change the mode of conduct immediately. For forecast of the future Sino-American relations the analysis of situation in the South China sea is of crucial importance.

From the beginning of the 21st century, Australia’s interests in the East Sea (The South China Sea to non-Vietnamese people) have been increasingly more evident. Among those, the benefits relating the status of a “middle power” and the tensions derived mainly from China's ambitions are the most prominent features. Regarding Australia’s interests in the East Sea, the author argues that Australia had better promote more practical contributions to accommodate its role and status in the Asia-Pacific region. In particular, Australia’s contributions should be based on code of conducts, international rules and norms. In this paper, the author focuses on three recommendations, including: (i) promoting cooperation in the East Sea complying with the principles and the respect for the law; (ii) promoting Security and Defense Policy in terms of soft alliances; (iii) coordinating with regional powers in search of solutions to manage conflicts in the East Sea.


Significance The country's vote to leave the EU has added momentum to a realignment of UK economic and foreign policy towards the Asia-Pacific region underway for some years. Parliamentarian Richard Graham, a prime ministerial trade envoy, visited Manila in late August to explore the prospects for closer ties, including a Philippines-UK free trade agreement (FTA). Impacts China will tolerate greater Philippine-UK engagement if London stays out of South China Sea disputes. If controversy over Duterte's crime crackdown grows, May might face domestic political pressures to keep Manila at arm's length for now. Duterte's abrasive political style may deter fresh investment pledges. Closer defence ties with Manila would aid improvements in the United Kingdom's ties with ASEAN and its other members.

International balances, especially the geostrategic balances the United States and China, are among the most important regional and international balances of the new international order, specifically the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to the importance of the strategic environment over which the two countries compete, if the South China Sea occupies a geostrategic position as a result of the political, economic and military security capabilities that it enjoys, then China regards it as a part of its territory and is subject to its regional sovereignty. The Asia_ Pacific region, and preventing the United States from competing with it and controlling it as a vital economic, commercial and military field, is security for it.

For decades, Beijing has been arguing with several countries of the Asia-Pacific region over the territorial ownership of a number of islands in the South China Sea, on the shelf of which significant hydrocarbon reserves were discovered. We are talking primarily about the Sisha archipelago (Paraselsky Islands), the Nansha (Spratly) and Huangyan (Scarborough Reef) islands. Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines are involved in this debate to one degree or another. The United States is not a party to the dispute, but it does not recognize the claims of China and insists on its right to “free shipping” in the region.
