And you answered my question Sangetsu. Japanese politicians may decide they want to align with China and Korea, but are China and Korea waiting with open arms?
Besides the fact that China and Korea are not large importers of foreign goods. They are producers and exporters, what can Japan expect to gain by allying with China or Korea? The state of California is a larger consumer of Japanese goods than China or Korea.
