| Summary/Abstract |
US relations with both China and Russia have become increasingly fraught. The broad outlines of a potential great-power clash between the United States and a rising China are growing more apparent each year. Against this backdrop, a series of maritime disputes between China and its neighbours, including US allies, threaten regional stability in Asia. US–Russian relations, meanwhile, have suffered greatly from the Ukraine crisis, plunging to their lowest level since the end of the Cold War. Under these circumstances, the possibility of an anti-Western, China–Russia alliance has re-emerged with new urgency.
