Extract

The eastern marches of Asia have been the Balkans of the Orient for at least a century, in which Japan, China, and Russia have striven for dominance along the Pacific littoral from Korea to Kamchatka. During and after the Second World War, eastern Siberia remained in a state of comparative truce but, in the last decade, the far reaches of Siberia, Mongolia and northern China have again become the focus of conflict. The recent negotiations between the USSR and Japan for joint commercial ventures in Siberia must be seen against the backdrop of this history, because they represent, in many ways, a continuation of national fears and motives inherited from the past.
