Both Putin and Biden met. But on a trip to Britain, our two heavyweight neighbors suddenly turned again.
Which two neighboring countries?
One is Japan and the other is South Korea.
This G-7 summit, a very interesting detail, the British also invited the leaders of South Korea, Australia, South Africa and other countries, people think that South Korean President Moon Jae-in, finally can sit down with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to have a good talk.
Meeting doesn't necessarily solve all problems, but seeing is always a positive attitude. Otherwise, always chanting "what liquid, think of your night", it will be too cold.
But it is a pity that in this bureau of the British group, watching the interaction between Suga and Moon Jae-in is particularly embarrassing. Moon Jae-in sat on this head, Suga Yiwei sat on that end, anyway, when Moon Zaiyin looked up, Suga always looked down, when Moon Zaiyin looked directly, Suga Yiwei tilted his head again, and Moon Jae-in didn't even find the opportunity to make eyes...
The only meeting between the two is between meetings, and the two "accidentally" meet. The South Korean presidential office said: Both said they were happy to meet each other.
Happy?
The total embarrassment did not exceed a minute, and there was not even a photo of shaking hands and elbows, which was all Japan and South Korea this time.
In fact, the summit was also arranged, but Suga was suddenly very angry, this time, don't talk about it!
Hitting people in the face, cursing people without revealing shortcomings, the international summit is highly anticipated, but Japan ignores it and directly hangs Moon Jae-in in the UK.
Suddenly remembering the 2019 G20 Summit in Japan, Moon Jae-in also encountered a similar scene.
Abe, who was the host at the time, talked to all the leaders, and the only one who was left aside was Moon Jae-in of South Korea.
The only meeting between the two was when the G20 opened, when Abe greeted the guests from all sides, and the two sides shook hands awkwardly for 8 seconds; then, there was no interaction, let alone sitting down to talk.
South Korea actually wants to talk about it. At that time, before going to Japan, the South Korean side also said that Moon Jae-in was open to talks, but whether to talk about it or not depended on Abe.
Abe's attitude is very firm: don't talk about it!
Sure enough, it was Abe's disciple, and this time in Britain, Suga did the same: Don't talk about it!
Why not?
The Japanese version is that south Korea actually held military exercises around Dokdo (known as Takeshima in Japan).
South Koreans are also aggrieved, this is an annual routine exercise, Dokdo is my territory, you Olympic Organizing Committee secretly marked Bamboo Island on the map, I have not yet settled accounts with you...
But the Japanese are very strong, not to see is not to see, there is no way to do it, Moon Jae-in, can only express serious regrets, left the United Kingdom.
Is it over?
Nothing.
What's more interesting is that perhaps it is still a little reluctant, and suddenly there are Japanese media breaking the news: soon after the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan, Moon Jae-in plans to attend the opening ceremony, incidentally holding the first meeting with Suga Yoshihide; you know, in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea, Abe also went to South Korea.
Now, Moon Jae-in personally came to the door, the posture is low enough, just to see Suga Yoshihide, this bit of face must always be given.
Who knows, just when the South Korean diplomat mysteriously said "no comment"; Japanese Cabinet Secretary Kato Katsunobu replied with a sentence yesterday (15th): This is purely a rumor.
Not a single bit of room for manoeuvre. Moon Jae-in, Tokyo, you are not welcome.

The enmity and resentment between Japan and South Korea will not be discussed today.
But it is estimated that Moon Jae-in never expected that Xingchong rushed to The United Kingdom to attend a summit and finally suffered such insults from Japan.
Of course, Johnson is also responsible. If you pull Japan and South Korea together, and you still want to talk about the China issue, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone, even if you know, the purpose may not be achieved, but you have made the relations between Japan and South Korea worse.
From this point of view, Chengdu does have a set.
It was said that it was the year before, that is, eight seconds after the G20 summit between Japan and South Korea, Abe and Moon Jae-in both went to Chengdu to attend the trilateral summit between China, Japan and South Korea, and the two old enemies talked for as if they had about 40 minutes.
Long enough.
Moreover, in a group photo in Chengdu, everyone laughed very happily, Moon Jae-in laughed so much that his eyes could not see, and Abe laughed even more closely. At that time, I said that this should be the most joyful photo in the history of China, Japan and South Korea.
I will not put the photo, let's find the lady by ourselves.
In addition, the leaders of China, Japan, and the ROK specially went to plant a tree in Du Fu Caotang, and the Chengdu people who liked to swing the dragon gate array also came to do special things, specially found three red shovels, and planted a three-branch osmanthus tree...
I don't know if Japan and South Korea found it, came to China, a bunch of harmony; went to England, all kinds of sullenness.
Of course, what South Koreans are most worried about now is Japan's next black gun.
It should be known that after the embarrassing 8 seconds of that year, Japan imposed economic sanctions on South Korea, prohibiting the export of a variety of key semiconductor materials to South Korea, which caused the Korean semiconductor industry to suffer a heavy blow.
This time, after a minute of embarrassment in Britain, will Japan repeat the same trick?
Koreans can't help it.
What is very surprising is that Japan and South Korea are making a lot of trouble this time, and if in China, China will certainly persuade everyone to be neighbors and want to value peace; but this time in Britain, the Americans seem to be indifferent.
According to the analysis of the US media, the world boss has been in a lot of trouble recently, and he really can't spare time and energy to mediate these two little brothers; moreover, the boss's authority is declining, and he feels that he can't stop the little brother. In addition, there is also a feeling that Japan and South Korea are so noisy, it may still be in the arms of the United States, the more troublesome, the little brother will have to look at the boss's face...
Old Biden, chose to remain silent; but it felt as if the British were still arching their fire.
Anyway, the most happy thing for The Koreans at this British summit is that although they have suffered the humiliation of Japan, the British have really given face.
Especially for group photos, from the standpoint, there are a total of three rows, Moon Jae-in is in the first row, the left hand side is Biden, the right hand side is Johnson and Macron, and the C position in the C position.
This should also be the highest position of the South Korean president at all international summits. As for Suga, I'm sorry, you're standing in the corner of the second row.
Johnson, you do this, the Koreans must be happy, what will the Japanese think? After going back, will it be pinched even harder?
Well, British, what is your peace of mind?
