Soviet policy statements and military deployments in Northeast Asia
Expert InsightsPublished 1978
Soviet writings of the 1970s evidence that, in Northeast Asia, Moscow's security concerns center on adverse long-term developments. The literature assesses the military potentials and policies of rival powers in the region and depicts China's efforts to create an anti-Soviet alliance with Japan and the United States, and Japanese military development as the main threats. Proposed conciliatory policies may be prompted by the geostrategic disadvantage of Soviet military deployments in Asia.
