#1 A little bluntness is good as an icebreaker. However, it would serve the Japanese to start a friendship campaign with the Koreans, providing all sorts of non-military goodies to a disadvantaged, but sympathetic to Koreans segment of Korean society.

It is important to change the Korean mental paradigm about the Japanese, which is a long process.

#2 It is important to change the Korean mental paradigm about the Japanese, which is a long process.

If the Japanese don't go into the situation thinking of the Koreans as equal, respecting the Koreans having made the same by-their-bootstraps climb Japan made, Japanese hauteur will be noticed and resented. A good first step would be to make equal the Koreans living as very second-class citizens in Japan, despite having been there for generations. Koreans resent Japan not only for the invasion in World War II, but for their ongoing bigotry.

#3 IMO the real LT question for the US STATE DEPT. + INTEL is what might or will NORTH KOREA = KIMMIE + REGIME BOYZ do to threaten NIPPON CITIZENS-NATIONALS on the Korean Peninula???

Again, IMO CHINA is unlikley to accept INTER-KOREAN MERGER + RE-UNIFICATION UNLESS US MILFORS ARE WITHDRAWN FROM SOUTH KOREA + LIKELY THE WHOLE OF NE ASIA. + PORTS RIGHTS IN SAME + BOTH SOOUTH KOREA + JAPAN AGREE NOT TO DEV NUCLEAR ARSENALS THAT CAN BE USED AGZ CHINA.

"RISING CHINA " can wait for a formal US-Allied response to the above - ITS DUBIOUS IFF STARVING NORTH KOREA CAN DO SAME WIDOUT CATASTROPHICALLY COMPROMISING = CHANGING ITS ETHNO-NATIONALIST CONCEPT OF "NORTH KOREA FOR NORTH KOREANS/
KOREANS"???
