Japan Opposes South Korea Inclusion in G7 Summit Due to Differences with China and North Korea Issues
The Moon administration plays the Imperial Japan card for everything just like certain groups in the U.S. play the race card for everything. Here is the latest example:
Japan’s reported protest against South Korea joining an expanded Group of Seven (G7) summit reflects its typical “shameless” behavior, a Cheong Wa Dae official said Monday.
The official was responding to a news report that the Shinzo Abe administration has delivered its objection to U.S. President Donald Trump’s idea of inviting President Moon Jae-in to the envisioned session.
Trump earlier announced that he wants to add the leaders of South Korea, Australia, India and probably Russia to the list of attendees at the event, which he hopes to host in the autumn.
Tokyo, however, has formally informed Washington of its negative view on the move to include Seoul, saying it is “not in lockstep with G7 members” on the China and North Korea issues, according to Japan’s Kyodo News service.
“There’s nothing to be surprised any more by Japan’s consistent attitude not to admit or atone for its wrongdoings,” the official said, describing Japan as accustomed to “harming” a neighboring country.
“The level of Japan’s shameless (stance) is something of the world’s top,” the official added. “I don’t expect any major impact (to Trump’s plan to expand the G7 and include South Korea as a member), as the international community, especially advanced nations, is sufficiently aware of Japan’s such level.”

You can read more at the link, but the Abe administration would not have opposed ROK attendance at the meeting if it wasn’t for the bilateral differences mentioned, it has nothing to do with Imperial Japan. Bringing up Imperial Japan as a response just demonstrates that the Abe administration was correct since no subsistence response to differences on North Korea and China was provided.
“Bringing up Imperial Japan as a response just demonstrates that the Abe administration was correct …”
Fact check: True.
And I wish South Korea would stop making the Japanese look like the good guys…
Koreans will never stop using the Japanese card. Just too valuable to give up for “politicians”.
setnaffa, Japanese look like good guys to you because the far-right Americans find the far-right Japanese, a useful bootlicker. Like in the Bolton file, far-right Americans want to go war with NK because they like getting into wars, and far-right Japanese want a war in Korean peninsula because they want to see a complete destruction of both Korea’s due to their racist feelings. Both are crazy, both are bad people.
Beijing-boi, you know nothing about me. And you just proved it beyond any ability I have to do so. Thank you.
Some of the reasons:
–My family is in Korea and doesn’t want to move. And I don’t blame them as it is a beautiful country. Another war might kill off those not killed in the 625.
–I was laid off by a Japanese company in the middle of fighting an aggressive stage 3 cancer in my right cheek. May the Lord never give you the opportunity to find out what that means.
–Unlike the fascist dregs trying to take over the BLM protests, I served in the US Military. To prevent a war. And we won that fight.
Why don’t you look up the Strategic Air Command and memorize the motto in your spare time. It might amuse you to learn something not taught by your political officer.
