Interacción de las grandes potencias en Asia OrientalEE. UU., la RPC, India y Rusia

Abstract

The key role of the United States in the dispute over Taiwan is the best example that the action of the powers in East Asia is essential for the region, first of all because it is marked by the global geopolitics of our days: the strategic rivalry between China and United States. In it, the Americans are betting on alliances such as the AUKUS, the Quad or the Economic Framework for the Indo-Pacific. A policy attached to the technological and military superiority that the United States still maintains over China. For its part, China advocates a new international order different from the liberal one that emerged after World War II, with ideas and initiatives that introduce new narratives into the international community, especially attractive to the countries of the Global South, even if accompanied by debt problems in the framework of the investments and loans of the Initiative of the Belt and Road. India, a traditionally non-aligned power in bloc politics and one that has been oriented towards its immediate neighbourhood, seems set to be a major player in the region, but will it achieve autonomy or will it be dragged down by the Sino-American rivalry? Finally, the fourth power that the article addresses is Russia, which seeks to recover its imperial glories reinforced by the alliance with China, all of which forces it to be more active in East Asia that until now had been secondary to its priorities.
