Abstract

Geopolitical competition is a power competition between countries to maintain the balance of power or establish hegemony in key geographical areas. At present, the mainstream geostrategic research in academic circles, including American global strategic research, American Asia Pacific strategic research, Japanese geostrategic research, Indian geostrategic research, Russian geostrategic research, and EU geostrategic research, are mainly large country research, and there are few regional research, such as Southeast Asia. At present, China has developed to a specific historical node. While economic interests have spread worldwide, the international situation is becoming more and more complex, and peripheral relations are tense. Therefore, it is urgent to achieve a strategic breakthrough in the world. Although The Belt and Road have pointed out the direction of development for China's grand strategy, it is impossible to pay attention to every aspect of more than 60 countries along the route. This paper will explain which region will be the breakthrough of China's Geopolitics in the future and need to focus on management.
