The idea of the "Great Game" reflects the 19th-century rivalry between Russia and Britain, whose tactics of conquest and coercion shaped geopolitics across Eurasia.
Following the Cold War, the "great game" concept resurfaced as analysts observed Russia, the West, and China vying for influence in Central Asia's emerging states.
Today, the U.S.-China competition spans continents and has created focal points across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America.
The Pacific Islands illustrate the current "great game" through China's expanding footprint, evident in its security pact with the Solomon Islands and infrastructure investments.
