The new U.S. military strategy and the evolution of US-China-India relations in the Asia-Pacific region in the field of security problems
The author analyzes the new U.S. defense strategy presented in US Defense Strategic Review, published in Washington in early 2012. Special attention is paid to the fact that today the United States are considering China as a strategic competitor, and China's rapid development  - as a challenge to the U.S. influence in the Asia Pacific region. The author examines the reaction of Beijing on the relevant activities of the United States and describes the role of India in the U.S. strategy of China's containment. One of his main conclusions - is that for Russia, the new strategy of the United States, despite its rather aggressive character, may carry some positive outputs as well: Washington's interest in the Russian Far East may facilitate U.S. investment in the economy of this region. APEC economic projects potentially profitable for Russia may also get an impetus.
