Balance of power is one reason. Many small Allies may keep China from growing hungry for more territory. Fishing is a big thing for all Nations involved.
We have Treatise with many of these Nations where we provide defence in order to keep them all de-escelated.
With our current power being perceived as waning, it is imperative to interject with strength and some cunning influence and policy grooming.
If other Nations see US as supporting small Nations like these, it may solidify alliances we have and gain more.
The west does not pay mind properly to the East Asia. For when conflict spurs there, it has been historically bloody. And we always get drawn in.
Japan killed more than 16 Million people the last time they got antsy. Asians are just as tribal as all and hold deep resentment of past wars.
Strength is Peace.
