At the end of last month, Japan notified the United States to oppose South Korea's joining seven industrial countries (G7), on the grounds that South Korea and G7 member states could not be consistent on some issues.After the Japanese government clearly opposes South Korea's joining G7, it spreads a shadow to the bilateral relationship that was already nervous.South Korean Presidential Palace has condemned Japan to constantly hurt its neighbors and rebuke Japan's shame, which has always been the highest level in the world.

On June 1, Trump invited the South Korean President Moon Jae -in, and Japan opposed it immediately on the same day; and South Korea nominated the Ministry of Commerce of the Ministry of Commerce for the Ministry of Commerce in the Ministry of Commerce, Yu Mingxi, to the World Trade Organization (WTO)In the past two months, Japan is likely to oppose the nomination.

The G7 is composed of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.Delays the summit to September.

Trump said at the time that when the G7 structure had passed, it was a very backward organization that failed to reflect the current international situation. He hoped to invite Russia, India, South Korea, Brazil and Australia to join to form the Eleven Group (G11)Or Twelve Group Group (G12).Britain and Canada have expressed their opposition to let Russia participate in the G7 summit; Japan had previously wanted to win India to join the Indo -Pacific strategy, but there was no obvious conflict between the two countries. Japan did not exclude India's extended G7.

The reappearance of bilateral relations between Japan and South Korea began in July last year. At that time, Japan announced that it was banned from exporting the core components of exporting semiconductors to South Korea. South Korean society resisted Japanese goods sports; then Japan and South Korea each had each other from the white list of convenient trade convenience.Except for name.This one -year resistance movement has caused Japanese companies to suffer huge losses in South Korea, and Nissan Automobile has completely withdrawn from the Korean market for 16 years.

Wen Zaiyin held talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the end of last year to repair the bilateral relations that fell to the freezing point.Different from the problems left over the history of the daily occupation period, the two sides were too large, and after Japan and South Korea experienced a 13 -year -old negotiation of the year, they established diplomatic relations on June 22, 1965.The problem of women still troubles the two countries.

There are long -term differences in historical issues. The suggestion of the G7 expanding lineup has exacerbated the tension between Japan and South Korea. It is undoubtedly the old hatred and new hatred. The contradictions and disputes between Japan and South Korea have further intensified, and bilateral relations may accelerate the cooling.South Korea is also disputed with island sovereignty on Dominosaus (known as Takeshima in Japan) and Japan. The two countries have a saliva war every few years. On August 25 last year, South Korea also launched the Doamian defense exercise in the waters near Dojima, which greatly stimulated it.Japan.

Some analysts believe that Japan's opposition has several principles As a result, one is unwilling to see the status of this East Asian neighbor improved, sitting up with it; the second is that in order to improve the support rate of incomplete response due to crown disease, Abe deliberately creates anti -Korea emotions, try to stimulate and draw conservatives;It is Japan's historical issues that may focus on South Korea around the two countries, and unilaterally carry out the publicity of Japan's publicity on the international stage.

Japan is now tired of responding to the rebound of the crown disease, and the prospect of economic recovery is not optimistic. In order to save the weak economy, Abe hopes to deepen economic and trade cooperation with China.The relationship must also take a certain tough position on China, but they are worried that the deterioration of bilateral relations will affect the economy.

To expand the G7's lineup, it is inevitable that there is a intention to block China, and it is more intention to use this allies to use this allies. Whether South Korea eventually became a member of the G11 or G12 is finally determined.Strategic relations between the United States and South Korea, especially South Korea, still have availability in responding to the situation in the Korean Peninsula.

Although Japan is not the main party of the North Korean nuclear issue, it cannot play a decisive role in solving the Nuclear nuclear issue. However, due to historical, geopolitical factors and the relationship between Japan and the United States security alliances, North Korea ’s nuclear tests and series of missile tests, the Japanese government naturally naturallyFeeling that his own security was threatened, of course, he was of course uncomfortable with the official attitude of the Wen Zaiyin government.

I am distressed how to show a tough position with the allies to China, and to ensure that China -Japan's economic trade is not affected. This makes Japan not be pleased, and it is not happy to see South Korea's international status rising.Japan and South Korea's long -standing historical disputes have continuously eroded bilateral relations. Once the disputes in the two neighbors are upgraded, they will eventually fall into a situation where they are not allowed to impact the peace and stability of Northeast Asia.
