Summary
Most worrying in East Asia is the fact that at present the strategic objectives of Russia and China have become intertwined. While many countries of this region are in conflict with China over the sphere of influence in the South China Sea. Japan has border disputes with Russia. Japan claims four islands which are currently occupied by Russia.
The ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine is also likely to have an impact on the security structure of Asia. In view of this apprehension, the Japanese government is seriously considering many issues. Japan’s biggest concern is keeping the energy supply stable in the event of a war. It is also being considered here that if Russia attacks Ukraine, should Japan impose sanctions on Russia and what will be the effect of that move.
Analysts have said that if there is a situation of military confrontation between Russia and America, then Russia’s far eastern region will be most affected. Russian troops are already stationed in this area. This area is very close to the Sea of Japan. Therefore, the activities there can have a direct impact on Japan and other East Asian countries. Russia has already increased its naval activities in the Pacific Ocean. It has announced that it will deploy land-to-sea missiles on the island of Matua.

While many countries of this region are in conflict with China over the sphere of influence in the South China Sea. Japan has border disputes with Russia. Japan claims four islands that are currently occupied by Russia. There are fears in Japan that Russia will increase its military deployment on these islands in connection with the crisis in Ukraine. That would further weaken Japan’s hopes of getting those islands back.
America’s proposals will benefit China
According to a report by the website Nikkeasia.com, the Ukraine crisis has also created new challenges for the US and Japan’s strategy on China. If the proposals made by US President Joe Biden to resolve the Ukraine crisis, if they are implemented, then China will get direct benefits. Biden has said that the US is ready for talks with Russia on the issue of stopping the deployment of short- and medium-range missiles.
Defense experts say that if Russia and the US agree to stop the deployment of short and medium-range missiles, then it will create a favorable situation for China. China will not be bound by any such agreement, while America will not be able to deploy such missiles.
Analysts say China has already become the largest naval and air force in the Asia region. If there is an agreement between Russia and America in the matter of missiles, it will also get an edge in this matter. This is the real concern for Japan and other countries in East Asia. Their competition is not much with Russia, but with China. His eyes are fixed on the fact that the Ukraine crisis does not turn into a profitable situation for China.
