Ukraine Is Now a Proxy War for Asian Powers - Foreign Policy (No
paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=97122&nl=daily over
sustained U.S. support for Ukraine long predated Donald Trump’s
victory in the presidential election, and they have raised concerns
over Kyiv’s ability to sustain its defense against Moscow’s war.
These concerns have overshadowed another important dynamic in an
already complicated conflict: the increasing involvement of East Asian
powers in a European war. Besides the recent arrival of at least
10,000 North Korean soldiers on the Russian side, the evolving roles
of China, Japan, and South Korea raise the question of whether a
widening proxy war is being fought in Ukraine. By all indications, the
answer is yes: The war is setting a new precedent for Indo-Pacific
nations to compete for their interests on the global stage.

A proxy war is when two countries fight each other indirectly—by
supporting warring participants in a third country. Classic examples
from the Cold War era include the Congo crisis in the 1960s and the
Angola crisis in the 1970s, when the Soviet Union and United States
each backed warring factions in a civil war with money, weapons, and
sometimes troops from yet other countries but never got directly
involved in combat themselves.

In my work with engineers, Ive seen firsthand the quest for better
signal-to-noise ratios. In non-engineering terms, signal is the thing
we want, and noise is everything else. Signal is the input what were
trying to do or communicate whereas noise is the undesired and
unintended outcome. If an idea or word is noisy, that means people
often lack clarity on what it actually is because the original signal
has degraded by the time it reaches the masses. For example, the term
AI is loaded with noise right now. If you ask 10 people what AI means,
theyre going to give 10 very different answers based on their personal
situation, industry, political ideology, and more.
