Brief:<\/b><\/p>

The article narrates the threat of sophisticated missile technology, which is proliferating among US friends and foes alike across Asia. Nuclear powers are undertaking extensive nuclear modernization. Democratization is filibustering and, in some cases, rolling back. And the economic influence of the United States is declining while that of China is mounting.\u00a0 The United States is not the cause of these disconcerting tendencies, however its excessively militarized approach to Asia is making them worse. By surging troops and military hardware into the region and cheering its allies to enlarge their arsenals, Washington is heightening tensions and increasing the risk of an avoidable conflict. Moreover, by handling the Chinese and North Korean military threats as Asia\u2019s only real glitches, the United States is ceding the economic playing field to Beijing and relinquishing its ability\u00a0to address inequality, climate change, and other underlying causes of regional insecurity through nonmilitary means. Washington\u2019s over-militarized approach not only increases the risks of war and arms racing but also reduces the prospects for stability and prosperity in Asia. The game that matters most in the region does not involve armies and navies but rather development, trade, and investment. Yet the US has largely neglected Asia\u2019s economic needs, allowing China to make enormous gains at its expense.<\/span><\/p>
