My guess is that Japan and East Asia are treating this a lot different compared to Europe and North America.
For East Asian allies, the USA is pivoting from the full world to focus more on the Pacific Ocean, so a post Trump USA would still be involved in the region. Also, unlike Europe, East Asian allied countries can't outspend their strategic rival by themselves.
So, they'll spend a little to keep Trump happy in order to keep the USA involved in East Asia while they wait out Trump.
