Spokes versus Axes: Modalities of Regional Security in Northeast Asia

... Military Cooperation Pushes More Rigid Bipolar Security Arrangement in Northeast Asia Northeast Asia is an independent region from the socio-economic standpoint rather than from the political perspective.

US — Japan — South Korea Military Cooperation Pushes More Rigid Bipolar Security Arrangement in Northeast Asia

This means that North Korea will never become an obedient proxy in Russia's or China's capable hands. However, the growing US-Japanese-South Korean military cooperation inevitably leads to stronger China-Russia-North Korea ties. This, in turn, means that we are moving toward a more rigid bipolar security arrangement in Northeast Asia. Unfortunately, for the time being, all the ...

Ukrainian Crisis. Who Has the Upper Hand?

... sanctions against Russia, China will do significant work to improve its own economic security in the event of similar complications with the West.

By all appearances, China will keep its distance and free hand. For Japan, the balance of gains and losses in the short term is rather negative.

... could be increased by a further $6.8 billion. The additional spending is to purchase weapons and equipment that were not delivered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to implement protective measures to respond to threats from North Korea and China. Judging by what Japanese diplomats have been saying recently, Russia may also be included in the official list of the country’s enemies. Increasing funding to 2% of GDP (from the current 1.3%), as U.S. analysts have proposed , will ensure the further improvement of the Japan Self-Defense Forces in terms of technology ...

Russia-Japan Relations: Were Abe’s Efforts In Vain?

... predict that at least in the medium term, and possibly longer, the Russo-Chinese partnership will continue to grow. That is no reason for Moscow and Tokyo to regard each other as adversaries, however. Moreover, since an armed conflict between America and China would spell a global calamity and have a high chance of turning nuclear, other major powers, including Russia and Japan, have a vital interest in preventing such a collision. Expanding the still very modest elements of trust in the Japan-Russia relationship, talking through reciprocal concerns before they lead to conflict, avoiding bilateral incidents, and engaging ...

Will the Six-Party Diplomatic Project Help Denuclearize the Korean Peninsula?

... economic and social problems will be so great that they may jeopardize the country’s status and economic position. Moving on to China and Russia, they do not want to see a conflict breaking out on the Korean peninsula and call for stability, in the hope that it may eventually lead to the peaceful coexistence of the two Koreas. As for Japan, the country has an irrational fear of North Korea, but has not developed an official position on the issue, and in any ...

Russia and Multilateral Diplomacy in East Asia

... the topic of Asian multilateral institutions less interesting for observers and relegates it to the bottom of the list of the priority areas of Russian policy in Asia. When Russian official speak of the country’s Asia policy, they usually start with Russia’s bilateral relations with regional leaders – China, Japan, South Korea and India – before turning to the Korean nuclear problem.

... race and thus diminish, rather than increase the nation’s security. 8. Finally, creating conditions for China becoming a cooperative and responsible power should be one of the top priorities of all regional states concerned. For the United States and Japan, it would mean not trying to contain or exclude China, and being open and responsive to its initiatives and legitimate claims. For Russia, it would mean continuing to maintain friendly and cooperative relations with Beijing, while keeping a reasonable distance and not committing itself to this cooperation – neither in words nor in deeds – to such an extent that this effectively ...
