Regional Responses to U.S.-China Competition in the Indo-Pacific
Abstract
What are influence and competition for influence? What are the United States and China competing for in the Indo-Pacific? How can we measure influence? How do countries in the Indo-Pacific view the United States, China, and U.S.-China competition? How could the United States work more effectively with allies and partners? In this report, we attempt to answer these questions as part of a broader study of how U.S. allies and partners are responding to U.S.-China competition. The other reports in this series are available at www.rand.org/US-PRC-influence. The research reported here was sponsored by Brig Gen Michael P. Winkler (PACAF/A5/8) and conducted within the Strategy and Doctrine Program of RAND Project AIR FORCE as part of a fiscal year 2019 project titled "Regional Responses to U.S.-China Competition in the Indo-Pacific" that assists the Air Force in evaluating U.S. and Chinese influence and assessing possible Air Force, joint force, and U.S. government options. This report should be of value to the national security community and interested members of the general public, especially those with an interest in U.S.-China competition in the Indo-Pacific. Research was completed in September 2019.
