Order of verbs in this sentence


I'm trying to translate the English sentence below into Japanese:

Each theory has a different understanding of how countries like China, Japan
and South Korea behave towards each other.

My best translation:

互いの理論はなぜのような国中国や、日本や、韓国を始め、互いに振る舞ることが分かることの違っています。

What I'm having the most trouble with is how to order the verbs in the
sentence as I'm pretty sure what I've written at the end there is
ungrammatical. Perhaps I should treat that phrase 'different understanding' as
a noun in Japanese? I'm also not so sure about my use of ような and を始め in the
same sentence as well, as there seems to be some crossover there.

> 「[互]{たが}いの[理論]{りろん}はなぜのような[国]{くに}[中国]{ちゅうごく}や、[日本]{にほん}や、[韓国]{かんこく}を[始]{はじ}め、[互]{たが}いに[振]{ふ}る[舞]{ま}ることが[分]{わ}かることの[違]{ちが}っています。」

**_Vocabulary & Collocation:_**

1) How many theories are there in total? 「互いの理論」 would generally refer to "two
theories" -- one of Person A and the other of Person B. If more than two, I
would use 「[各]{かく}理論」 or 「それぞれの理論」.

2) We do not say 「なぜのような」 to mean anything; It is just not a good collocation.
Besides, why use 「なぜ」 when there is no "why" in the original in the first
place? The expression you need to use would be 「どのように」、「どう」, etc. as those are
what "how" means.

3) If you used the structure 「～～や～～をはじめ」, it would need to be immediately
followed by a noun phrase such as 「[多]{おお}くの[国々]{くにぐに} = "many countries"」.
Because there is no such phrase in the original to begin with, you could not
use 「～～をはじめ」 in your translation.

4) 「分かることの違っています」 makes little sense. I can easily tell you tried hard,
though.

5) 振る舞 **う** ＞ 振る舞 **る**

> " Perhaps I should treat that phrase 'different understanding' as a noun in
> Japanese?"

Exactly. It is a noun phrase in English as well.

My own TL attempt:

>
> 「それぞれの理論は、中国、日本、そして韓国といった国々がお互いに対してどのように振舞っているかについて、[異]{こと}なった[見解]{けんかい}を[示]{しめ}しています。」

I used the vocabulary and grammar you used as much as possible. Towards the
end, I chose the words that you did not, but that is only because those would
sound more natural to native speakers.

「異なった」= different,「見解」= view,「示す」= to show
