A New Balance of Power in Northeast Asia

Abstract

As so often before, significant change in one side of the Soviet-U.S. -China triangle points up the need for adjustments in another, as well as the complex impact upon Japan and the other states of Asia. In sum, the heart of the Sino-Soviet conflict remains: Russia wants a weak, relatively isolated China, while China, in turn, is, determined to attain security in the short run through ties to the West and Japan, and in the long run by achieving the status of a major -- if not dominant -- power in Asia.
