This accentuates the necessity to systemize Trump’s actions and initiatives in the realm of foreign policy and foreign trade, to interpret these actions’ logic, and to evaluate the changes that Trump’s policies have brought about. It is of high importance to analyze Trump’s strategy in the Indo-Pacific which is the priority region in his foreign policy agenda and the region where two major threats to the US and its allies are coming from - the rise of China as a country that pursues unfair trade and economic policies and reveals assertiveness in securing its core interests, and the threat from the North Korea. The aim of the article is to analyze China’s place in Trump’s Indo-Pacific strategy. By studying American conceptual documents, Trump’s and other American high-level officials’ speeches, the article characterizes Trump’s free and open Indo-Pacific strategy, reveals its commonalities and peculiarities vis-à-vis Obama’s rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific strategy. The article also addresses the issue of Trump’s policies in the region on the economic front, because this is where Trump administration has introduces dramatic changes. Trump’s Indo-Pacific strategy is examined in the article in the context of its impact on the US-China relations. The relations between the two countries - without exaggeration, one of the most consequential for the world - may seriously deteriorate due to not only the evolving US-China trade war, but also contradictions between them over various issues in the IndoPacific region. The article analyzes the aggravation of tensions between the US and China in 2017-2018 over South and East China Seas, Taiwan issue, and North Korea issue.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Приход к власти в США в январе 2017 г. Д. Трампа и предпринятые им решительные действия, перечеркнувшие многие достигнутые предшествующими американскими администрациями договоренности (выход США по инициативе Д. Трампа из ТТП, Парижского климатического соглашения, сделки с Ираном, ЮНЕСКО и т.д.), обуславливают существенную перестройку как международной системы, так и региональных подсистем международных отношений. Большой исследовательский интерес представляет оценка привнесенных администрацией Д. Трампа изменений в политику в ИндоТихоокеанском регионе, откуда исходят две сильнейшие угрозы для США и их союзников - угроза возвышающегося Китая, ведущего «нечестную» торгово-экономическую политику и отличающегося напористостью в реализации своих «коренных» интересов, а также угроза, исходящая от Северной Кореи. На основе анализа концептуальных документов США, выступлений Д. Трампа и других представителей американской администрации в статье характеризуется выдвинутая Трампом в ноябре 2017 г. стратегия «свободного и открытого Индо-Тихоокеанского региона», выявляются черты, как отличающие ее от стратегии Б. Обамы, так и свидетельствующие о ее преемственности. В статье демонстрируется практическая реализация стратегии Д. Трампа в 2017-2018 гг. Особое внимание уделяется американо-китайским противоречиям в регионе и влиянию индотихоокеанской стратегии Д. Трампа на отношения США с Китаем.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>US</kwd><kwd>Trump’s policy</kwd><kwd>Asia-Pacific region</kwd><kwd>Indo-Pacific region</kwd><kwd>US</kwd><kwd>China relations</kwd><kwd>China’s rise</kwd><kwd>South China Sea</kwd><kwd>Taiwan issue</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>политика Д.
