Dangerous Waters
Under the surface of the Pacific, political currents and counter-currents run, keeping the area In a constant state of jitters. Here the four great powers confront each other, three of them - America, Russia and China - very visible and the fourth, Japan, pretending that It Is just a collection of tiny islands and not the second richest country in the world. The frustrated efforts of the Americans to make Japan assume some political and defence responsibility would be comic if it were not so serious.
In the fifth of six programmes,
Mary Goldring looks at this, at the fears of the smaller Pacific countries, Korea, Taiwan and particularly Hong Kong. and the ambitions of that enigmatic giant, Indonesia.
