Der südkoreanische Präsident sträubt sich gegen den Austausch von Nahrungsmitteln und Treibstoff mit Japans Selbstverteidigungskräften: „Wir haben in der Vergangenheit immer wieder Niederlagen (von Japan) erlitten, und obwohl wir uns jetzt gut verstehen, weil es notwendig ist, herrscht unter den Menschen das Gefühl, dass wir nicht wirklich vollständig kooperieren können.“

Aand here’s the step back again. Where are the people who have these feelings?
Afaik most young people don’t give a fuck unless old and evil politicians put the fear of the foreign in their heads.
And rightwingers in Japan don’t want an exchange as they’ll say Koreans will steal oil.
Unfortunate but we aren’t there…yet.
This from a government with two presidents guilty of violent suppression of democratic protests, two more convicted for treason, another two convicted and imprisoned for bribery and corruption (and a third who committed suicide before the same could happen to him), and another who just recently got sentenced to life imprisonment for insurrection (altogether they account for about 53 years of Korean rule, about two thirds). There is an argument that Korean people, with good reason, trust their own leaders less than they do Japan but if the two countries began to cooperate too much those leaders would lose a common tool they have for switching public anger and frustration from domestic to foreign targets.
Clever, never forget
Has Japan apologies for the atrocities they commited against eastern Asia?
In otherwords, the they don’t understand the concept of professionalism.
Not really surprised on either side. Japanese refuse to cooperate with themselves half the time.
Europe trusted Russia again and here we are.
It’s understanble no? Japan’s colonial rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945.
