The Yomiuri Shimbun, the most conservative media in the Japanese newspaper, published a paper on the front page of a scholar who made a provocative claim that let us not respond to Korea because the United States and China are important.

Keio University professor Kei Hosoya in the column titled `` Deterioration of Korea-Japan Relations--A Colder Time than Emotional Relations '' published on pages 1 and 2 of the Yomiuri Shimbun on February 18, cited by the Jae-in regime and the change of policy over the consolation agreement between South Korea and Japan. I heard that the cause of the conflict was in South Korea by hearing the Supreme Court's judgment of compulsory damages.

Professor Hosoya said, "The most important geopolitical point in Japan is the trend of two big powers, the United States, the ally, and China, which is becoming a regional hegemony." Peace and prosperity are secure enough. ”

"The importance of Korea is relatively small compared to the United States and China," he said. "It is not wise to say that investing enormous diplomatic resources into relations with Korea is more than necessary."

Japan's economic retaliation is the cause of the conflict between Korea and Japan, and historical mistakes made by Japan in the past are interpreted with the intention of shattering Korea.

He also argued, "Let's not overreact in order not to benefit China and Russia."

Professor Hosoya said, "North Korea's influence on South Korean politics is showing a strong resistance to US-Japan security cooperation," said Mr. Moon. There is a reason for this to be repeated repeatedly. ”

"The comfort women issue and Jing Yong-gong (the victims of compulsory punishment) are both caused by the domestic line conflict," he said. "People who abandon US-Japan security cooperation and demand for the withdrawal of the Korean Peninsula by the ROK government deteriorate Korea-Japan relations." Can be a strategic victory. "
