An American shield for Asia?
Article Abstract:
The US is concerned about the development of missiles by North Korea, as is Japan. There is also concern about Chinese missiles which are pointed at Taiwan, and pressure will increase on the US to boost defense round and in Taiwan. The security system in Asia could be destabilised by developments in North Korea and China. There is increased support for anti-missile defenses within the US. Those who favor closer ties between the US and China argue that Chinese military strength has been exaggerated in the US.
