Messed up
Has any of you ever wondered how messed up the political situation is on the east side of Asia? I have, ever since I was 12 (my mom always said I worry too much).
See, on one side you have the North Korean and South Korean constantly ‘peeking’ each other over at the DMZ line. But both of them hate Japan to the gut. The Chinese also hates Japan to the gut, but they are cool with the North Koreans though (at least on some levels). Of course, there’s the thing with China and Taiwan. I’m not sure how good is the diplomatic ties between China and South Korean, but I’m pretty sure it works out pretty well economically (I read somewhere that Samsung is the most popular selling brand in the TV market in China). But then, China did help out North Korea during the Korea War. Oh also, the Russians and Japanese are fighting (diplomatically) over some remote islands on the north side of the troublesome sphere. As if that is not enough, super-countries like US have military bases set up around the legion to act as a ’stabilizing force’.
I know much of these are due to historical happenings and residues, but still…
