Very good, understanding and cooperation among Asians...

Without the dirty intervention of the western circUS...

This is only possible between China and Japan, or North Korea and Japan where ruling parties never change.

It's impossible between Korea and Japan or Taiwan and Japan, where the ruling parties get voted out by angry voters and change periodically.

Japan where ruling parties never change.

A provably false statement:

Japan is ruled by the LDP. No one would disagree.

China and Japan have agreed to resume regular talks between their ruling parties

LOL, "ruling parties" is an interesting way of saying, "Without extensive American influence, Japan would be not be all that different from China politically". I've always felt that these two cultures share more in common than a lot of people are comfortable admitting. Japan likes to larp as though they greatly take after the West when in reality they basically reject individualism in favor of half-baked nationalist collectivism. They love the material culture of the West but don't really embrace Western values beyond what we have forced upon them.

Nonetheless, China isn't going anywhere, so even if Japanese people loathe them, it is still worth trying to have some kind of dialogue. They are a major trading partner after all.
