The considerations on determinants of Chinese activity to areas of the western Pa-cific revealed the presence of relevant factors, i.e. historical conditions and, in particular, sinocentric ideology of China and the policy of China to the diaspora, living in areas of Southeast Asia for a number of years. The sinocentric concept of the place and role of China in the international environment involved the dominant role of China, and the secondary role was attributed to other nations. In accordance with this dogma, formal relations with China require recognition of their sovereignty. At the same time, disobedience is considered the violation of the established order and the rejection of “the will of the heavens”. Sinocentrism also inspired the idea of designating the main place for Chinese Han nationality, whose interests are strongly identified with the in-terests of all citizens, and the phenomenon of social integration involves mainly assimi-lation, which is a tool to expand and strengthen Chinese sovereignty. If the assimilation process failed, China involved the solutions based on force. Such a solution should be expected towards the most important areas of the western Pacific, and, in particular, the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
