It seems pretty peaceful in Northeast Asia. Would freezing and then reducing the military budgets create instability in the region?
The peace in Northeast Asia is deceptive. The conflict between North and South Korea and between China and Taiwan could escalate at any point. There are territorial disputes between Japan and South Korea, Japan and China, Japan and Russia, and South Korea and China. Conflict between an emerging alliance of China, Russia, and North Korea on the one hand and the United States, Japan, and South Korea on the other could harden into a new cold war that forces other countries to choose sides. With all the countries boosting their arms spending and purchasing or building the latest high-tech weaponry, the chances of conflict increase exponentially.
