Abstract

India, which also seeks to improve its economic and military capabilities in an international constellation, is threatened by China's aggressiveness. The Chinese policy related to One Belt One Road that connects Asia and Europe through Indian Ocean, threatens the position of India. The current Chinese potential to be a rival for the major power such as the United States, has pushed India to develop counterbalancing policy in the Asian region by partnering with Japan. This is for maintain its influence in the Indo-Pacific. In this case, the use of the level of analysis of international systems by Valerie Hudson was chosen to explain the conditions that represent interactions of countries at the global level. In addition, with Long Cycles Theory it was found that this Chinese appearance threatened the position of the United States, which is an alliance of India. The authors argue that this counterbalancing policy shows India's fear of China's aggressiveness, in addition to limit the dominance indirectly.
