Increasingly after World War 2, especially after communism became the perceived threat. The fear was of a domino effect (one country after another collapsing as communism spread).

the spread of communism in Asia was halted
Communism: a classless stateless society based on production for use and democratic control. Clearly it does not exist in Asia or anywhere else. North Korea is state capitalist, China is a mix of state and private capitalism.
