International relations have experienced significant controversial debates over the profound transformations that have emerged in the structure of the international system in the post-cold war era. China's endeavor to challenge US hegemony in the Indo - Pacific region, which is referred to as the "New Great Game" signifies this trend. China uses a balancing approach to limit the effects of US adopted strategies, which includes "dissemination", "expansion" and "intervention". By influencing the dynamics of the international power cycle and creating one-multi-power system, China is looking to increase its share of global power. This paper investigates the foundation of China’s strategies to the United States policies at the Indo - Pacific region. The findings of the article reveals that, influenced by the geopolitical, geostrategic and geo-economic conditions of the region, and in the light of its new relations and interactions in the Indo - Pacific strategic platform, as well as in response to the challenge of the United States, China has implemented a balanced approach between 2010 and 2018 at the domestic and foreign levels. The main goals of this approach is to provide a multi-polar system.
