The swift changes occurring across Asia, combined with the focus of both China, as a rising power, and the United States, as a global superpower, have prompted many to refer to the 21st century as "the Asian Century". Presently, the Asia-Pacific region has become the playing field and arena of their strategic competition more than ever before. This research uses an explanatory method, combining the theoretical frameworks of offensive realism and the balance of threat to address the question of how to assess the underlying causes of strategic competition between China and the United States in the Indian Ocean. The findings suggest that even amidst intense competition, both countries are striving to establish a strategic balance through offensive realism and balance of threat strategies. China seeks to use the lever of economics to create a community of shared interests, while the United States, under the slogan of a "Free and Open Indo-Pacific," aims to restore its power through close cooperation with regional allies. Furthermore, certain opportunities for cooperation amidst competition and strategic divergence have contributed to the development of a strategic balance mindset between the two powers.
