How were the proxy wars of east asia different from those of middle east and afghanistan?

During the Cold War, proxy warfare was motivated by fears that a conventional war between the United States and Soviet Union would result in nuclear holocaust, rendering the use of ideological proxies a safer way of exercising hostilities. Hope this helps
