Abstract :It can be said that the US, which wants to control the Eurasian region, is trying to control the Rimland region, that is, a corridor starting from Eastern Europe and extending to the Pacific region, including Türkiye, Iran, Pakistan and China. According to Nicholas Spykman’s Rimland theory, the power that controls this region can hold world domination. In this context, Türkiye is trying to be limited to its own land border with the islands problem with Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean problem. When the Taiwan issue, the islands issue between China and Japan and the problems with the five countries claiming rights over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea are analysed as similar examples in China, the interventions and restrictive effects of regional and extra-regional actors are observed. It is understood that the US, as an extra-regional actor, aims to confine China and Türkiye to their land borders. This article analyses the containment of China and Türkiye within the framework of Spykman’s Rimland theory. As two important countries in the Rimland region, similar problems of China and Türkiye are tried to be clarified in line with Spykman’s theory. The issues mentioned in the article include Türkiye’s geopolitics, Türkiye’s geostrategic encirclement, Eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus geopolitics, geoeconomic interests, China’s geostrategic encirclement and Türkiye-China geopolitics comparison, and these issues are analysed through the Rimland theory.
