Speaking of Japan and South Korea, the problems between the two countries are also continuous, such as the issue of comfort women, territorial disputes, and the discharge of nuclear wastewater, which have prevented Japan and South Korea from improving their relations.
Perhaps it is felt that the South Korean side is a bit "guilty of the following" and often blames Japan on the above issues. A few days ago, Seishiro Weedo, former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives of the Japanese Diet, pointed out that Japan once colonized South Korea and is the "big brother" of South Korea, and Japan should always be in a "leading position" in relations with South Korea.
Not only that, he said, because South Korea was once a japanese colony, in a sense, it is impossible to maintain equal relations between Japan and South Korea, just like Japan's relations with the United States, and it has never been able to "sit on an equal footing" with the United States. Therefore, Koreans do not think that they can "sit on an equal footing" with Japan.
In the eyes of Seishiro Weedo, Japan is ahead of South Korea in terms of economic strength and international status. In this context, South Korea is not eligible to be "on an equal footing" with Japan.
It seems that the Japanese parliamentarian also knows that Japan has always played the role of "subordinate" in front of the United States and is dominated by the United States in terms of status. However, from his remarks, it seems that there is no shame in sight, but on the contrary, he is proud of it, and teaches South Korea, which is also the "little brother" of the United States, which can be described as "servile". #日韩 #
