It expectsto consolidate its relations with traditional allies and partners, such as South Korea and theUnited Nations, for a practical result while potentially seeking a cooperative opportunitywith China.

By analyzing Chinavia the power transition theory, China can be categorized as a potential challenger to thecurrent order. As the conflict intensifies, China actively seeks to secure supportive states toresist pressure from the U.S. and challenge the existing order. Meanwhile, the U.S. is alsotrying to strengthen cooperation with allies and partners to hinder China s attempt to powerparity which undoubtedly turned the two countries competition into a high-level, two-blocpower struggle.
