SYNOPSIS:

 

As the world watches Ukraine, the Middle East, and US trade policy, the situation in East Asia is changing rapidly.  The former wartime adversaries Japan and South Korea are drawing closert together and seeking alignment with Taiwan.

​

An Axis is emerging that, together with the United States, positions itself against China.  But, does this strengthen peace, or does it turn East Asia into an even more volatile powder keg?
