"The most basic impact of the Sino-Russian entente is that it has introduced another military-political layer of great-power rivalry into the Southeast Asia, Korea, and Taiwan regions. Russian arms sales have clearly: (1) fueled regional arms races; (2) threatened to cause conventional and nuclear proliferation; (3) eroded regional stability and security; (4) opened Russia to the possibility of attacks from states like North Korea or China, or economic-political retaliation from the United States; and (5) undermined domestic reform and demilitarization."
