Abe lacks political skills to deal with his country’s history of colonialism and racism. The Japanese Prime Minister should take lessons from British and German politicians about what to do and what not to do with former colonies and victims – not that I say Europeans have done a good enough job, but at least they wouldn’t deny the harms done in the past. Abe continues to deny the legacy of wartime sex slaves during the Pacific War – can you imagine Angela Merkle denying the Holocaust? Abe is taking his nation back many years. Japan is running away from a politically correct, socially conscious society. Instead it is now having a politically controlled economy. What a shame!

I think Korea should respond to Japan’s action by putting most of importing items from Japan banned. The controlling od imports from Japan will change it’s mind set and help them go back to where they were.
Japan will have no rights to say about import banning because they started the stupid economic war.

What a huge waste of time and energy for absolutely no gain. What good is a sincere apology or a few billion dollars going to do besides lining the pocket of politicians and descendant of victims? Are they going to change history? Live longer? Turn Korea into Switzerland? South Korea should also remember they kicked out most Chinese Korean during Park Chung Hee’s reign. You don’t want to keep bringing up historical grievance because it might come back to haunt you.

East Asia really need to form a trade bloc and lead the global economy now that Europe is fading and America is . US pitting Japan against China and routinely stirring up North Korea US is to prevent the formation of such a trade bloc what would rearrange the global order.

It’s all so very painful as we are still reliving sins of our fathers and their fathers. I can see the Japanese side of argument if everything being settled and what more must they do. I will also argue somethings including human dignity cannot be measured and capped with bilateral treaties bw the governments or by some sun of money. The few surviving members of sex slave ladies are not necessarily asking for any meaningful financial compensation as far as I understand. They are asking most of all about validation of their lives and atonement of suffering they went through. I understand it’s nit easy for Abe or the Japanese king to hold their hands and stare into victims eyes and say I am truly sorry and no treaty nor compensation will make up for what they went through. Yet this will help for us not to pass this legacy of hates to the next generation. Brave hearts understand saying sorry is an act of courage and not a weakness.
I sometime wonder what’s really in the deep compartment of Japanese hearts about the N bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It must be so hurtful and unreconciled issue we must confront. My heart goes out for them. Nothing ever goes away, unless we confront the uncomfortable. We have to be brave and confront so we don’t pass these unreconciled issues to do even further damages in future generations. Peace out!

“Germany pays 10 million dollars to Jewish victims of war crimes committed in WWII. In exchange, Israel agrees never to mention or talk about German war crimes ever again.”

Sound like a good deal to you? Sound like sincere contrition? Well, that’s exactly what the last administration in South Korea signed. It’s no surprise given that the conservative party in South Korea was founded by a bunch of WWII Japanese collaborators.

Shockingly, the current administration finds this “deal”, like the Jeffrey Epstein deal, unconscionable and negotiated in bad faith, and has thereby nullified it. Too bad, Japan. Guess you can’t wash this crime off into oblivion so cheaply with real Koreans in charge.

Keep up the good work, President Moon.

Victim mentality cannot be cured completely by anthything but forgiveness and self-independence. What if a person did some bad to you and he just got away with that without sincere apology enough to make you feel good (?). For sure, any agreement with Japan will be good enough for Koreans who think like you, because you cannot force Japan to have your own victim mentality that is totally unbearable to them.

This cannot last long. The Japanese chemical companies need to sell their products abroad. The Japanese semiconductor industry cannot sustain them. If the Koreans start to look for other suppliers the pressure on Abe will be be intense and this rule will be quietly removed.

The current kerfuffle all goes back to 2016 agreement that Park entered under the US “mediation” and declared the settlement for sex slavery “final and irreversible” in exchange for the contribution of $20m toward victims’ fund. This was to put Korea-Japan friction behind in order to focus on the “circle china” policy of Obama era. This language, never mind the sum, without any sincere admission of any guilt, greatly offended the Korean public and it was one of the reasons for Park’s downfall. (It was also roundly condemned, though I don’t remember if it was before or after the agreement, by an open letter signed by multitude of scholars). As such, Moon didn’t have much choice other than nullify it. And that in turn incensed Abe and friends.

This event was uncannily reminiscent of the treatment of post-war Japan when the US swept a lot of things under the rug in the name of combating communism. And the things swept under rug always have a way to coming back to haunt you. It’s a good idea to be on the right side of the history rather than submitting to the contingencies of the day, for you never know which way the ball will bounce down the road.

@TK Sung Good comment that really gets at the heart of the matter, namely the eagerness of American officials since the early post-World War II era to get South Koreans and other Asians living in non-communist countries to forget the past (namely, Japan’s rule or wartime occupation of their respective countries) and just get along with Japan for the sake of confronting China.

But in the final analysis, South Koreans will never again accept joining a U.S.-led multilateral initiative to contain or compete with China if the price for doing that means setting aside assorted disputes with Japan. When South Korea was poor and its people destitute, the country had little choice but to accept sweeping matters with Japan under the rug when the Americans made such a demand (this is essentially what happened with the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan in 1965). But South Korea is now wealthy, and wealth changes people.

A lot of people find this attitude among South Koreans incomprehensible, since China is the country primarily responsible now for propping up North Korea and thus keeping the Korean peninsula divided after 74 years. But obviously such people don’t understand Korean grievances against Japan.

Washington will eventually have to adjust its attitude a bit and understand that South Korea can be a vital ally of the United States without giving in to American insistence that grievances against Japan just stay buried. It’s not 1965 anymore.

In my view, politicans in South Korea, China and Japan are all guilty of abusing nationalism to their political advantages. As soon as coming to power, President Moon angered Japanese by constantly highlighting Japanese war crimes. A few years ago, Xi employed economic boycotts against South Korea when Park and Moon accepted an US anti-missile installation. Xi also withheld rare-earth materials from Japan over a geopolitical dispute. Now Abe is taking similar steps against South Korea leading up to an important election. A rule-based trading system in East Asia is now giving in to a rule of jungle: power. Deeply rooted historical animosities in the region, however, weaker power like South Korea cannot afford to give in. Angry Korean consumers are boycotting Japanese products now. US must play a crucial role here. But I am afraid Trump may not.

I have to disagree with your framing of all three countries as being equally at fault for “abusing nationalism” and the current East Asian tensions. For example, bringing up the war crimes and crimes against humanity that Japan committed against South Korea within the last century is not “abusing nationalism” on the part of the South Korean government, it’s highlighting legitimate grievances that South Korea (and China, the Philippines, and pretty much everywhere else that Japan tried to conquer or colonize in the last 100 years) has with Japan?grievances that the Japanese government and society has been unwilling to fully embrace or address.

Japanese nationalism does not allow Japan to confront the ugly truth of their history the way that Germany or even the United States has with WWII or the colonization of North America respectively. They have a history of issuing insincere statements/apologies under international pressure before pulling a 180 and again denying their crimes against humanity. And it is that inability to confront their own history that also makes them unable to fully recognize and sincerely apologize, because they do not believe that they did anything wrong. This is the sticking point of inner-East Asian tensions that China and South Korea in particular have with Japan. Until Japan is able to both sincerely apologize for their historical crimes and not become embarrassingly defensive and retaliatory when they get mentioned, nothing will get any better.

I’m a Korean man, and, in my opinion, Japan did enough to make up for all their sins committed in Korea. This article failed to mention that, in the 1965 pact, Japan paid South Korea $2.4 billion in today’s money to compensate for their crimes. The then-South Korea government invested this money into its various industries which catalyzed the country’s economic growth. Furthermore, Abe has apologized for his country’s past crimes. How much more money or words do the Korean government want from Japan? How much is enough? Japan did enough already by helping my once-poor country become a economic powerhouse that it is today.

@Sam Of course they know what they did but the pressure is huge and “history” teached in school is wahed and dyed to suit an alternative narrative.
