Abstract : Gwadar, the Deep-sea port city of Balochistan, is the most important international energy and trade route between the West and East. Untapped natural resources of the landlocked central Asian Countries have increased the importance of Gwadar for international, power games, especially for the U.S.A and China. It has a special influence on regional and global politics owing to its geostrategic position. Gwadar has exponentially enhanced the lust of power for China and U.S.A because the sea politics wields great significance in terms of commercial and defence activities. The deep sea port of Gwadar covers vast sea areas with warm waters and sea lanes that have driven the US and China’s attention in power politics. Apart from this, China and the United States economically and militarily are major powers that have been stepping up their advancement to get hold of this strategically important region. This research paper explores the geo-strategic significance of Gwadar and the power struggle between China and the United States and their containment design towards each other. This study is qualitative in nature and secondary data were collected from different sources. Furthermore, the researcher has selected the most relevant materials for the research purpose. It is concluded that China has implemented different projects, especially CPEC to influence power politics. On the other hand, the USA is also influencing Pakistan’s economic and political policies in the context of Gwadar’s development. So, the strategic importance of Gwadar increased the power struggle between China and America.
