“…Historically, the Indian Ocean has been home to a portion of the world's most crucial sea lines of communication for worldwide exchange and its significance has risen again by getting one of the busiest ocean paths on the planet for commodity trade, capital, manufactures and services. The SLOCs in the Ocean account for almost half of the global container traffic plus approximately 70 percent of petroleum goods traffic (Farooq, 2007). Alfred Thayer Mahan was an American sea power theorist, the Chinese analysts are fond of referring to him to accentuate the strategic significance of the Indian Ocean.…”

“…The joint Pakistan-China enlargement of Pakistan's strategic naval base at Gwadar on the Makran coast has extensive strategic implications for two reasons. First, it opened up China's direct access plus basing facilities in the Indian Ocean, and second, it provides propinquity to the Straits of Hormuz (Farooq, 2007). The Gwadar port was conceived at the beginning of 2001 and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan gave an impetus to it which operationalized in 2007 ahead of schedule.…”

In Asian and global power politics a maritime strategic angle concentrates on the value of fortifying and controlling sea lines of communications (SLOCs) for stability, economic growth, and development of nations. Consequently, both India and China are snooping to control SLOCs and safeguard their emergent and escalating worldwide interests. The advancement in and expansion of naval power satisfies the corresponding nationalist aspirations of Beijing and New Delhi. As a result, the development of their maritime capabilities would have a greater impact on the naval security architecture in the Indian Ocean. The hike in Chinese engagements across the Indian Ocean widely known as the String of Pearl’s stratagem is principally stimulated by a policy of maritime encirclement of India. Struggle to secure tactical energy resources which are quickly revolutionizing their navies could induce clashes and have major repercussions for global security affairs. Harmonious handling of both China’s and India’s cooperation will be crucial for regional as well as international peace and opulence shortly and everyone looks upon a fabulous Asia reflected in the world. Thus, this paper analyses the underlying factors that motivate both countries to have ambitious objectives in the Indian Ocean and could find out that securing energy is one of the driving forces in securing maritime dominance across the Indian Ocean.

“…Finally, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, have provided a more favorable environment in terms of U.S.‐China relations. Since the concern for terrorism has emerged as a critical issue that requires immediate attention, the United States has begun to approach China in a more conciliatory manner, boosting levels of cooperation with China (Farooq, 2007; Wu, 2004). As we can see in these instances, mutual interests between the United States and China significantly bolster the potential for peace in the international system.…”

This study investigates the impact of U.S. "soft power" in the international system. Specifically, it examines how American soft power affects individuals' perceptions of the "China threat." Based on the theoretical model developed by Rousseau (2006), the present research considers how citizens develop their perceptions of China in relation to the United States. Multilevel analyses relying on the Pew Global Attitudes Project 2007 verify the view highlighting the compatibility of these two states in the international system. The analyses find that the diffusion of U.S. soft power in each state significantly reduces the urgency of the China threat. Implications from this study contribute to our understanding of U.S-China relations in rapidly changing international environments.
