Of course China isn't concerned. They are probably helping the program--its nuclear threat by proxy.
If Tokyo and Seoul aren't concerned, they ought to be. They shouldn't become the new Europe, expecting the US to eternally do their heavy lifting.

Doesn't Japan have a constitutional clause prohibiting militarization? Similar complaints have been filed against those ungrateful Germans who we defend. Now, plans for a post-Saddam Iraq are invoking post-WWII models including constitutional demilitarization. I can already hear someone saying, 50 years from now, "Iraq can't expect the US to eternally do its heavy lifting."
