Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, which began in February 2022, combined with the new stage of the conflict in the Middle East that has been ongoing since October 2023, has created a threat to international security comparable to the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) or the high-profile crises in the Taiwan Strait. The analysis of the state of security through the prism of the theory of international relations once again confirms the accuracy of the assumptions of the school of political realism, referring to the factor of strength and power, determining the global and regional balance of power, including in the region of East Asia. There is no doubt that in the light of the ongoing war in Ukraine and the Middle East, conflicts and territorial disputes in East Asia are putting the superpowers, i.e. the US and China, to a unique test, especially in terms of their security management capabilities, both on a regional and global scale. The article examines the transformations in the field of security in the East Asian region2 with references to a global scale. The author shows how territorial disputes in the East and South China Seas, or especially tensions around Taiwan, remain, on the one hand, a factor generating new forms of cooperation between the security structures of the Euro-Atlantic area and the countries of East Asia, and on the other hand, they are a source of strengthening strategic ties between China, Russia, North Korea and Iran.
