I see the Chinese are angry over a recent US/UK/Australia deal that would provide Australia with nuclear propulsion and other sensitive technologies for their submarines. The French are also withdrawing their ambassadors, being upset over losing a deal to sell Australians diesel-electric boats.
Japan has announced that they will defend the Senkaku Islands, which China also claims. The usual made-for-TV incursions are expected.
Taiwan recently saw Chinese violations of their airspace after a recent increase in their defense budget.
India has requested Chinese troop pullbacks from their border, and expressed concern over recent Chinese overtures to the Taliban.
I think this part of the world bears watching.
