The twilight of Second World War has seen a change in the global political relations among the global big powers which also shaped the international political alliances and relations. Using the secondary method of data collection, findings show that Japan has come to see the United States as untouchable and a must befriend nation in order to remain safe in international politics. China, due to its rising nature in economic power, military might and its global influence, it is becoming a threat not just to Japan, but even to the United States. On the other hand, the DPRK is struggling to survive on its own against US and South Korean aggression. The paper concludes that, for peace to reign in the region, the United States must pursue peaceful diplomatic solutions and cease provocative military drills with South Korea. The paper recommends a clear intervention of the international court of justice in solving the problems of south and east china seas.
