DINAMIKA RIVALITAS CHINA DAN AMERIKA SERIKAT DALAM MENANGGAPI KEAMANAN SELAT TAIWAN

Abstract

The dynamics that occur in the Asian region are a concern for countries in the world. Especially in the Taiwan Strait, which is the link between Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific. This strait is strategic because of this and has historical importance for China and Taiwan. The presence of the United States in this region gives a signal to China not to take actions that can disrupt regional stability. However, the presence of the United States and its allies is not liked because it is considered as an intervention by the United States against China. This study aims to examine the Rivalry of China and the United States against Taiwan Strait Security. This rivalry can cause the stability of the area to be disturbed. The researcher uses the theory of national interest to see how steps are taken by countries that are involved in interests. The results of this study conclude that the conflict between China-Taiwan is caused by fundamental differences in views regarding the status of Taiwan so that the two fail to find common ground between the two. Rivalry in the Taiwan Strait will continue to increase if the United States and China prioritize strength over diplomacy.
