Northeast Asia is one of the most important strategic regions in the world, with large populations and active economies such as China, Japan, and South Korea. However, the United States has also intervened here, causing the legacy of the Cold War and regional instability.
The United States has established "convergent" military alliances with Japan and South Korea to contain China's rise. However, the countries of Northeast Asia are not to be outdone, striving to break free from the control of the United States and seek win-win cooperation.
The China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Area (CFTA) is an important cooperation project that can eliminate tariffs between the three countries, facilitate the flow of goods, technology and people, and achieve complementary advantages and promote economic integration in East Asia.
The construction of the China-Japan-South Korea FTA has gone through years of difficult exploration, but has been obstructed and sabotaged by the United States. Whenever the three countries reach some consensus and progress, the United States will use history, territory, ** and other issues to sow discord and create crises.
The establishment of the China-Japan-ROK FTA will have a huge impact on the economic and military hegemony of the United States. The economic aggregate and volume of the three countries have surpassed that of the United States, and if the dollar is abandoned and the Asian dollar is used, the international status of the dollar will collapse.
The construction of the China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Area will also promote the improvement of political and security relations among the three countries, increase mutual trust among the three countries by integrating the interests of the three countries, and create conditions for the settlement of the peninsula issue.
The US military alliance system will lose its legitimacy and necessity, US military bases in East Asia will be questioned, and US hegemony in East Asia will collapse.
Therefore, the United States does not want to see the success of the China-Japan-South Korea FTA, and it will do everything to prevent cooperation among the three countries.
In short, the China-Japan-Korea FTA is an important driving force for East Asian economic integration, which can not only benefit the people of the three countries, but also provide lessons for the rest of the world.
However, the construction of the China-Japan-Korea FTA is also challenged by US intervention and Japan's historical problems. If Japan fails to face up to history and sincerely apologize, it will be difficult to achieve in-depth cooperation between China, Japan, and the ROK.
The resolution of historical issues requires time and patience, as well as the diplomatic wisdom of the three countries. How to promote cooperation in the midst of contradictions and how to resolve contradictions in cooperation are major issues facing the three countries.
