WI the US establishes an equivalent of NATO in East Asia? I guess the POD would have to be in 1945 since the Japanese constitution would need to parallel the German Basic Law (with restrictions on the role of the military but not the full-fledged pacifism which it incorporated in OTL).
I'm imagining beginning with Japan, South Korea, Nationalist China and perhaps Australia and expanding with decolonization.
