Abstract :
The Asian NATO is a new alliance led by the United States of America along with South Korea and Japan under the rise of China's Yellow Dragon. The need to contain China and the United States' partial view against North Korea is the reason for this new alliance. In other words, if NATO was formed in Europe to confront Russia, this NATO was formed in Asia to confront China in the first place and North Korea in the next step. America's goal in creating this NATO is to contain China and then try to make the Indo-Pacific region free and open.The grounds and factors of the formation of the Asian NATO are the result of grounds and factors such as: the existence of a common threat such as North Korea for South Korea and Japan, as well as the Beijing-Pyongyang coalition strategy in the territorial life of the peninsula.
