The Pacific Ocean is the largest continuous body of water on Earth, covering more than a third of the world's surface. As the deepest and most island-rich of all the oceans, its waters reach the shores of Asia, Oceania, North America, South America, and Antarctica. The Pacific Ocean accounts for 49.8% of the world’s total ocean area and contains approximately 10,000 islands, which represent 45% of the global island area.[1]
Imperialism has taken root within this ocean. The United States, Australia, and Japan, alongside other imperial core states, use this body of water to militarily and economically attempt to cripple China, while asserting neocolonial control through policing programs and pressuring their neocolonies into compliance.[2]
