Abstract

From the beginning of the 21st century to the present, Southeast Asia has become a hotbed of
strategic rivalry among major countries, such as Japan, India and China - Asia's three largest, most
influential and important countries. The strategic rivalry of these three big countries has greatly influenced
relations among countries in the region as well as relations between Japan, India and China with each
country in Southeast Asia, including Japan - Vietnam relations. Based on the clarification of a number of
influencing factors, the article focuses on analyzing and explaining the strategic rivalry between Japan,
India and China in the region and its influences on Japan - Vietnam relations from the beginning of the
21st century to the present as well as the prospects for the relations in the coming time.
