Dictatorial capitalists in China, stalinist (turned maoist) communists in N.Korea, one-party corrupt democracies in S.Korea and Japan, and the nazi Kuomintang of Taiwan... dunno, it's a miracle that there hasn't been any war in the region since the '60s, in the Indo-European and Cushitic worlds it takes us less than a decade to slaughter each other (on multiple historical occasions) when we had such a deadly combo

Now, on less sarcastic mood, nationalism, populism, fundamentalism and other ideologies of conservatism are resurging world-wide, which is very alarming, much more than the nuclear deterrent era, where at least societies (of all three worlds) prospered (relatively speaking, considering their individual history) united under the fear of annihilation, which was less probable than now.
