In East Asia, the world’s most dynamic and dominant region in terms of future global economic development, confrontation is escalating between the key powers – China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan – over border issues, territorial claims, prestige, and unfinished historical business. Add to this the perennial crisis on the Korean peninsula and the Taiwan conflict, which could flare up again anytime.
在东亚，世界最有活力、也是未来全球经济发展的主导地区，主要势力——中国、日本、韩国和中国台湾——关于边界问题、领土主张、声望和未解决历史遗留问题的冲突已呈爆发之势。在此之上还有维持了多年的朝鲜半岛和台湾冲突，随时随地都可能再度爆发。
