The United States, China, and Russia compete for regional and international interests in many areas, from politics and economics to security and global influence. Regional analysis, in studying how these countries influence specific regions, is determined according to the most sensitive regional files, such as the Syrian file and the most prominent new development, which is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, while international analysis focuses on the impact of the Russian-American and Chinese competition on the entire world, especially since the areas of influence and scope of interests The three countries are intertwined, and this intertwining adds a kind of challenge between the three powers, but this remains in accordance with the perspective of common interests, which also adds complexity to resolving some files, such as the Syrian and Palestinian.

From the formal aspect of the American-Russian-Chinese competition, and from the perspective of regional interests, the United States seeks to maintain its presence in regions such as the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe, as these regions are considered crucial to global security and trade, and the United States seeks to maintain their stability and ensure the protection of its national interests. In this context, US interests include promoting trade and investment and ensuring access to vital resources such as oil and gas.

On the other hand, China seeks to strengthen its regional influence in Asia and Africa, as China is considered the largest emerging economy in the world, and seeks to enhance its trade and investments in different regions. In addition, China is seeking to establish new rules for regional cooperation through the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to boost trade and infrastructure in different regions around the world.

As for Russia, it seeks to maintain its regional influence in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, as these regions are considered crucial for the Russians in terms of security and trade, and Russia seeks to maintain its alliances and strengthen its influence in the region. In this context, Russia seeks to preserve Assad’s rule in Syria and strengthen its cooperation with countries such as Iran and Turkey.

In terms of international interests, the United States seeks to maintain its role as a leading global power. The United States is a major player in many international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, and seeks to preserve international laws, human rights, and democracy. In addition, the United States seeks to address global security threats such as terrorism and the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

For its part, China seeks to increase its influence and influence in the international community, as China is considered one of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and seeks to enhance its role in international decision-making. In this context, China seeks to enhance international cooperation in areas such as climate change and free trade.

As for Russia, it seeks to restore its former international influence as a global power. Russia is also considered one of the permanent members of the Security Council, and seeks to enhance its role in international decision-making. In addition, Russia seeks to address global security challenges and influence international interests through the use of soft power and interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

Relations between Russia, the United States, and China are witnessing a great intertwining of interests and spheres of influence. Russia and the United States are considered global superpowers, and they have common interests in some areas such as counter-terrorism and nuclear safety. However, there is great tension due to the rivalry in the Eastern European region and the Ukraine crisis, as well as disagreements over the issue of Syria, and most importantly the current reality imposed by developments in Palestine. It seems clear the extent of the rivalry between the United States and Russia, especially since the latter is seeking to pass a resolution in The Security Council requires that Israel be forced to cease fire and begin negotiations with the Palestinian Authority that will lead to a sustainable solution, while the United States is seeking, with all its political weight, to obstruct Russian decisions, which confirms the extent of the rivalry between Moscow and Washington, which will have major repercussions on all issues in the region. It will not be limited to the Palestinian file.

In general, it can be said that American, Chinese, and Russian interests compete and conflict in many regional and international fields, as the success of each country depends on its ability to achieve its interests and enhance its influence in the targeted regions, and this affects international relations and global balance, but in general, the Russian-American and Chinese conflict In the region, it refers to the political and economic competition and tensions between Russia, the United States, and China throughout the Middle East. This conflict includes military, economic, cultural, and other fields. It is certain that the countries of the region will be affected directly or indirectly by these tensions, and they may lead to changes in regional balances and international relations. But what is certain is that until the dust of battles in Palestine settles, the depth of the competition between the three countries will It will be the foundation of a new phase at all levels, and we may witness a settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict according to American, Chinese and Russian rules, as a path to reaching a settlement of the Syrian file.

All of the above confirms beyond any doubt that Washington, Beijing, and Moscow are enemies, but they are looking for a circle that brings together their interests to be shared.
