But Tokyo warned there will be serious consequences

Good old Japan still trying the superiority over Korea

Japan has tried to work with South Korea for decades. Korean is the one who refuses and backs away.

Korea is the one backing down from agreements as Final. Having Korean court try to liquidate Japanese assets over what happened 100 years ago, after we paid Billions, normalized relations, with multiple apologies which Korea accepted, took the money, but now wants more, not satisfied, pay again and again.

South Korea under Moon was more friendly towards China then Japan. 3 promises from Seoul to Beijing. 1. No alliance with USA and Japan. 2. No more Thadd missiles. 3. No joining global missile shield with USA. 4. Korean never joined Quad Alliance to balance China. Stays quiet and a good boy on Taiwan issues, not a Korean problem.

South Korea has been like a virus for Japan! Unification Church and N. Korean schools is a perfect example. Too much freedom to play Squid Games on Japanese soil and land!

Wedded as they are to ‘Japan can do no wrong’, the 2チャンネル crowd will hate this announcement. The rest of us, however, applaud Japan’s acknowledgment that there is unfinished business to attend to. There is no shame in reversing its previous ‘our way or the highway’ stance and going back to the negotiating table. Resolving issues that have plagued the relationship will not happen overnight. Statesmanlike gestures of goodwill and actions which demonstrate a desire for mutual advancement have a much better chance of success.

We’ll see. The real test will be the first time the new administration gets in domestic political trouble. Will they or won’t they pull out the “blame Japan” card? That will be the real determination of their intent.
