Since the beginning of the XXI century, the Indo-Pacific region has become the "focus" of strategic competition between the world's great powers. This area included many "choke points" on sea routes that are strategically important for the development of international trade, playing an important role in transporting oil, gas, and goods around the world from the Middle East to Australia and East Asia.

China's Indo-Pacific strategy was clearly expressed through the "String of Pearls" strategy and the "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI).
