Tension in the Asian region on April 16^(th)

The following video synopsis was created by project leader @rybar Mikhail Zvinchuk for @SolovievLive.

The ongoing trade war between the United States and China has escalated, with the White House implementing an increase in tariffs to 245% from the current 125%. Despite China's assertion of non-retaliation in response to these new tariffs, it retains means to exert influence on the situation. The social and economic costs associated with this ongoing conflict may serve as a catalyst for negotiations between the two nations.

At the recent meeting of defense ministers between Japan and the United States, the concept of a "single theater of operations" was introduced. This concept signifies an effort to enhance defense collaboration between nations, including the Philippines and South Korea, which are considered allies. The notion underscores Tokyo's aspiration to assume a predominant partnership role with the United States within the Asia-Pacific region. This could potentially result in the formation of an Asian NATO.

In the Philippines, the Cope Thunder 2025 exercises are underway, with the participation of the United States, focusing on the utilization of the Air Force, including the attainment of air superiority. While not a direct response to China's actions, these exercises serve as a preparatory measure for potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
