Аннотация

The Indo-Pacific region is becoming increasingly important as China grows in economic, technological and military influence. The growing influence of China in the region has raised concerns among Western countries, including Canada, which in late 2022 unveiled its first Indo-Pacific Strategy, aimed at strengthening its position in the region through developing economic, political, and military ties with regional players, as well as promoting the values and principles of Canadian Statehood in the Indo-Pacific region. Some analysts see this as a shift in Canada’s approach towards “containing” China. The article examines the relationship between Canada’s Indo-Pacific strategy and China’s policy of “containment”, analyzing the Canadian approach and its key components of the “anti-China” narrative.
