The East Asia security is currently of attention of the world powers as it is an area of growing competition between US and China. The paper will focus on defining PRC’s strategic culture pillars and understanding Beijing’s ultimate objectives in developing A2/AD systems. It will be illustrated how A2/AD systems are only one segment of a broader A2/AD strategy, focused on securing PRC’s energy resources procurement in the Indo-Pacific. Next, options to threaten the US ASB concept and Allied Expeditionary forces and overall military dominance in East Asia – Pacific region will be covered.
