Total copies: 1
Asia is at a dangerous moment. China is rising fast. North Korea may be assembling more nuclear missiles. Japan's nationalist government is remilitarising and Donald Trump is the first US president since the 1970s to breaking diplomatic protocol and speak with Taiwan. Focusing on Australia's role in the region, Brendan Taylor examines the four Asian flashpoints most likely to erupt in conflict: the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Drawing on history, reports and observations of the region, Taylor asks what the world's major powers can do to avoid an eruption of war and shows how Asia could change this otherwise disastrous trajectory.
