What regional "powers" would that be?

China, Russia and Japan are the regional powers.

The threat of a nuclear armed Japan is the strongest force we and Japan have short of war to forcing China to take care of its proxy anti-US weapon North Korea.

In 1985 maybe. Russia isn't a regional power these days. Japan is declining. S. Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan are regional powers.
