Moon calls for 'peace economy' with N Korea; slams Japan
Today 06:28 am JST 90 Comments

SEOUL

South Korea's president on Monday described the country's escalating trade war with Japan as a wake-up call to revamp its economy and issued a nationalistic call for economic cooperation with North Korea, which he said would allow the Koreas to erase Japan's economic superiority in "one burst."

President Moon Jae-in's comments were made during a meeting with senior aides to discuss Japan's imposing of trade curbs on South Korea. They came as a surprise as North Korea has raised tensions in recent weeks with tests of new short-range weapons that experts say pose a serious threat to the South Korea's security.

"The advantage Japan's economy has over us is the size of its (overall) economy and domestic market. If the South and North could create a peace economy through economic cooperation, we can catch up with Japan's superiority in one burst," Moon said during the meeting at Seoul's presidential Blue House.

"Japan absolutely cannot prevent our economy from taking a leap. Rather, (Japan) will serve as a stimulant that strengthens our determination to become an economic power," he said.

Some analysts say Moon is getting desperate to find any leverage against Japan, which for decades has maintained a huge trade surplus with South Korea, and they question whether there could be any possible way for Seoul to use inter-Korean relations to boost its positon against Tokyo.

Even if inter-Korean economic cooperation is fully resumed after quick progress in nuclear diplomacy - a possibility that looks increasingly unlikely - rebuilding the North's dismal economy following decades of isolation and policy blunders could be a long and excruciating process.

Moon has described Japan's moves to downgrade South Korea's trade status and tighten controls on exports to South Korean manufacturers as a deliberate attempt to damage his country's export-dependent economy. He has accused Tokyo of weaponizing trade to retaliate over political disputes surrounding the countries' bitter wartime history.

Tokyo says its measures are based on national security concerns and, without providing specific evidence, has questioned the credibility of South Korea's export controls on sensitive products. Japanese officials have also claimed that South Korea could not be trusted to faithfully implement sanctions against North Korea and suggested that the South may have allowed sensitive materials to reach the North.

North Korea and Japan didn't immediately respond to Moon's comments. The North has been demanding that Seoul turn away from Washington and restart inter-Korean economic projects held back by U.S.-led sanctions against the North. The U.S. has said the sanctions should stay in place until the North takes concrete steps to relinquish its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

The North has significantly reduced its diplomatic activity with the South amid a stalemate in the larger nuclear negotiations with the U.S. It has been ramping up its weapons tests, including two test firings of what it described as a new rocket artillery system last week, while expressing frustration over the slow pace of diplomacy and the continuance of U.S.-South Korea military drills that it sees as an invasion rehearsal.

Choi Kang, a senior analyst at Seoul's Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said Moon's comments Monday could create friction with Washington and also send a wrong message to North Korea, which may think that its brinkmanship is working and push further to increase pressure on Seoul.

He said Moon's comments are "a confession that Seoul doesn't have many cards in its hands."

He said it was unclear whether Moon's suggestion that he could create a breakthrough in the trade row with Japan through inter-Korean relations was be realistic.

Choi also said Moon's words would strengthen views that the trade dispute between South Korea and Japan may signal a larger geopolitical divergence between the U.S. allies over North Korea and other security issues. He said that may complicate Washington's efforts to maintain cooperation to deal with the North's nuclear threat and counter the regional influence of China.

Moon met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un three times last year and the leaders agreed to resume economic cooperation when possible, voicing optimism that international sanctions could end to allow such activity. But the inter-Korean peace process has halted since the collapse of a nuclear summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump in February over disagreements in exchanging sanctions relief and disarmament.

Earlier on Monday, South Korea said it plans to spend 7.8 trillion won ($6.5 billion) over the next seven years to develop technologies for industrial materials and parts as it moves to reduce its dependence on imports. The government will also financially support South Korean companies in mergers and acquisitions of foreign companies and expand tax benefits to lure more international investment, while easing labor and environmental regulations so that local companies could boost their production, the country's trade ministry said.

South Korea's plans are aimed at stabilizing the supply of 100 key materials and parts in semiconductors, display screens, automobiles and other major export sectors, where its companies have heavily relied on Japanese imports to produce finished products.

On Friday, Japan's Cabinet approved the removal of South Korea from a list of countries with preferential trade status, which would require Japanese companies to apply for case-by-case approvals for exports to South Korea of hundreds of items deemed sensitive.

The decision followed a July measure to strengthen controls on certain technology exports to South Korean companies that rely on Japanese materials to produce computer chips and displays used in smartphones and TVs, which are key South Korean export products.

South Korean officials have vowed retaliation, including taking Japan off its own "whitelist" of nations receiving preferential treatment in trade. Moon's office said it will also consider ending its military intelligence-sharing pact with Japan as part of its countermeasures, saying it could be difficult to share sensitive information considering the deterioration of trust between the countries.

Japan unlikely to target Korea’s financial market: state policy chief
By Kim Bo-gyung
Updated : Aug 6, 2019 - 15:48

Kim Sang-jo, the president’s chief of staff for policy, said Tuesday the “possibility is very low” that Japan will target Korea’s financial market for economic retaliation amid thorny relations between the two countries after Japan toughened trade restrictions against Korea.

Asked by Rep. You Sung-yop of the minor progressive Party for Democracy and Peace wither Japan would target the country’s financial market, Kim said, “Compared with the IMF (Asian) financial crisis 20 years ago, the status quo and the fundamentals of our country’s financial (sector) are very different. So the possibility is very low.”

According to Kim, the percentage of Japanese funds in Korea’s capital market, as well as its loans and savings markets, is “very small” compared with the time of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

He added that a fallback plan would be considered just in case and that the government was keeping tabs on short-term market instability.

Kim Sang-jo, alongside Chief of Staff to the President Noh Young-min and Director of National Security Chung Eui-yong, attended the National Assembly’s House Steering Committee plenary meeting.

On the expected impact of the economic tensions with Japan on the country’s GDP, Kim put the impact at less than 0.1 percent.

Kim downplayed a forecast by the Korea Economic Research Institute that Korea’s GDP would shrink 4.47 percent as a result of a shortage of key chemicals required to manufacture semiconductors and other products.

Meanwhile, Noh said that for now the future of the General Security of Military Information Agreement, Korea’s military intelligence-sharing deal with Japan, signed in 2016 at the US’ request, was up in the air.

“It is true there are doubts over whether it is right to continue sharing sensitive military information with Japan, which has excluded us from the whitelist, raising security issues and a lack of trust,” Noh said.

“Nothing has been decided, the case is being reviewed. We will take a careful look into it (between now and) Aug. 24.”

Asked if the government had received requests from Washington to refrain from withdrawing from GSOMIA, Noh said “there has not been an official (request).”

He added that Seoul had not asked the US to arbitrate in the matter and did not plan to.

“Rather than using the expression arbitration, it is more appropriate (to say) the US’ interest and involvement,” Noh said.

Japanese Banks’ Refusal to Roll Over Loans to Korean Banks May Trigger Financial Exodus from Korea

By Yoon Young-sil
August 6, 2019, 10:45

The Japanese government may target the Korean financial market as part of its retaliation against Korea.

Concern is growing among domestic financial industry officials as the Japanese government may target the Korean financial market following restrictions on exports of semiconductor core materials to Korea and the exclusion of Korea from its whitelist of countries eligible for preferential treatment in export procedures.

When Japan takes a financial revenge on Korea, Japanese financial companies could refuse to roll over their loans to Korean financial companies. According to the Financial Supervisory Commission, as of the end of June, Korean financial institutions’ borrowing from Japanese financial institutions amounted to US$15.32 billion, of which US$7.21 billion is to mature within one year.

In the case of banks, 58.6 percent of their borrowings, or US$5.43 billion, must be repaid within one year. If Japanese financial companies refuse to roll over the loans, the funding rates of Korean financial firms will temporarily go up as they have to borrow from financial companies in alternative countries. Some financial experts say that this could cause a sense of uncertainty about the Korean financial market and prompt other foreign funds to leave Korea.

In response, Korean financial authorities contend that the credit ratings of Korean financial institutions are so high that they can fund foreign currencies from other countries without difficulty. They note that domestic banks' foreign currency borrowings from Japan total US$9.26 billion, accounting for only 6.6 percent of their total foreign currency borrowings, while their foreign currency reserves stand at US$29.2 billion, exceeding the US$25.5 billion in short-term foreign currency borrowings that will mature within the next three months by over US$3.7 billion.

"Japanese banks such as Mizuho and the Mitsubishi Financial Group (MUFG) are not taking any particular moves in rolling over their loans. Borrowings are being normally renewed,” Sohn Byung-doo, vice chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission, said in a meeting with reporters, eliminating the market’s concerns.

However, some experts say that as the Korean financial market is vulnerable to external factors, it is difficult to predict what would happen if Japan initiates financial retaliation against Korea. In particular, in the stock and bond markets where foreign investors account for a large portion of investors, there have been many cases in which foreign funds left Korea en masse due to external shocks regardless of the fundamentals of the Korean economy.

The Financial Supervisory Commission held a meeting on financial market situations on Aug. 5 before the opening of the financial markets. It sought to stabilize the market by noting that foreign capital inflows, credit default swaps (CDS) and foreign exchange reserves are stable both in the stock market and bond market. But the stock market and the foreign exchange market all moved significantly up and down all day long.

In fact, in Japan, some people, in particular, ultra-right media outlets and politicians openly say that the ultimate aim of Japan’s economic retaliation against Korea is causing a huge financial crisis in Korea. This indicates that Japan’s economic retaliation targets the Korean financial market, which is vulnerable to outside variables. They suggest that the Korean economy will be hurt if Japanese banks begin to refuse to guarantee Korean companies’ letters of credit.

However, Korean financial authorities explained that Korean companies use letters of credit in 15.2 percent of their trade settlements, and that the percentage of Japanese banks guaranteeing letters of credit issued by Korean banks for imports from Japan is only 0.3 percent.

We Koreans are emotional and rational
2019-08-09

Koreans gather in front of the Japanese Embassy in downtown Seoul, Aug.3, protesting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push for the delisting of Korea from its favored trade partners' list. Korea Times

Amid heightened tension after Japan's retaliatory trade sanctions against Korea, I met some foreigners who observed that Koreans are "emotional" compared with Japan's reputed exterior calmness and purposefulness.

Even some domestic media outlets editorialized a cautionary tale against an "emotional" approach to Japan.

The foreigners' definition of emotional likely indicates that Koreans are irrational and unrestrained, while the Koreans' definition means something opposed to measured and deliberate.

Are Koreans emotional? True. Are they irrational? No. Let's rationally analyze the irrational epithet further.

Emotional with rational reasons

The current Korea-Japan trade row was triggered by Japan's export restrictions that hinder Korea's bread-and-butter industries such as semiconductor production. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Korea was untrustworthy so didn't deserve the privilege of being exempt from case-by-case approval on key export items.

The virtual embargo followed the Supreme Court's decision that enabled Korean forced laborers to seek compensation from Japanese firms that withheld their proper wages during Japan's Second World War effort. Abe said the issue of compensation was covered by the 1965 Basic Treaty.

Abe, the descendant of a Class-A war criminal recognized by the Allied tribunal, has repeatedly said Japan does not need to apologize to Korea anymore and it is time to move on.

Millions of Koreans lived under Japan's rule of terror, with their identity denied. Many who were mobilized for Japan's war effort as soldiers and workers were killed, maimed or otherwise did not return home.

Koreans even had their spoons and chopsticks taken away to make guns and bullets as part of Japan's war effort. And women and girls were kidnapped to serve as sex slaves for Japanese Imperial Army soldiers.

Abe is acting as if Korea should keep quiet because he wrote a check he think enough to cover the damage. Besides, where does the 1965 treaty give total immunity to Japan as claimed by Abe for what misdeeds it committed against Korea? The Korean judiciary's ruling highlighted these remaining issues but Abe took retaliatory action in violation of the very basic tenet of free trade.

So we are emotional in a sense that we won't forget what Japan did to us and will keep reminding Japan of being a perpetrator of crimes against humanity.

Perhaps some Western sympathizers find it easy to accept Abe's denial of history because their countries shared the same past as a colonial power. Other colonial victim countries then may take the Korean example and get emotional about their past to see if anything is amiss in their settlements.

Coping mechanism

Koreans are seen crying, yelling, red-faced and in other emotional states. For instance, South-North family reunions are where "floods of tears" are shed by family members who have been separated for decades since the 1950-53 Korean War. It is no wonder, because often these intermittent gatherings are the last chance to see relatives.

The two Koreas have been in a technical state of war since the 1953 armistice, with millions of soldiers pointing their guns at each other. Making matters worse, the North has become a nuclear weapons state, which adds to safety concerns.

The Korean Peninsula has been a constant flashpoint where big-power interests clash. At the turn of the 20th century, the Joseon Kingdom was absorbed by Japan after it beat the Qing Dynasty and the Russian Empire and cut a deal with the U.S. Now, a repeat of it is taking place with different twists and turns.

So Koreans have not just suffered from occasional traumatic experiences, rather, their entire modern existence is one of an unending trauma. This gives rise to their quick emotional outbursts as a kind of coping mechanism.

Candlelight revolution

Korea's 2016 candlelight vigil would be hard to repeat in other countries. First, it involved millions of people protesting for many weeks without much violence. Second, it achieved a peaceful revolution to force a corrupt leader to step down.

But it has history. Korea's candlelight vigils started when two girls were crushed to death by U.S. armored vehicles, moving to protests against the impeachment of the late President Roh Moo-hyun and cresting with people protesting President Lee Myung-bak's decision to resume the import of U.S. beef despite health concerns. Then came the 2016 vigil that caused Park Geun-hye's dethroning.

These candlelight vigils represent the confluence of national emotion that interestingly played a key role in determining the direction of Korea's democracy and making it mature an example of mature emotion or emotional maturity.

2002 World Cup

Tens of thousands of Koreans, together with many foreign visitors, enjoyed and celebrated the World Cup Korea hosted with Japan. This paved the way for large-scale street festivals that were dubbed a "sea of reds" because of the jerseys the self-styled "Red Devil" Korean football supporters wore in a scene that has rarely been seen in other parts of the world.

It showed the potential and strength of Koreans when they are emotionally connected. This connection is being displayed and is likely to strengthen the unity of the nation if the Korea-Japan trade row escalates. So next time when you both Koreans and foreigners call Koreans emotional, please do so while bearing in mind that we have some reasons to be so and for us, it is not really a bad or negative thing.

Boicotando-Tóquio Olimpíadas


Coreanos enfurecidos pedem ao governo para boicotar os Jogos Olímpicos de 2020 no Japão

he political standoff between Seoul and Tokyo shows no signs of letting up as the two sides are staging a tit-for-tat fight, which started last month when the latter came up with export curbs of key materials to the former.

Crying foul at Japan’s unprecedented measure, Korea brought the case to the World Trade Organization. Enraged Koreans started boycotting made-in-Japan products and services ranging from automobiles, cigarettes, beers, pens, and cameras to movies.

But Japan has gone ahead with the procedure of restricting exports of high-tech materials to Korea, which are used to make semiconductors and flat-panel displays – Korea’s two major export items.

The step, which came due to a growing dispute between the two neighbors over wartime forced labor issues, prompted some Koreans to launch a campaign of boycotting the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Believing Japan crossed the line, many Koreans were at first emotional as they wanted to show the world their hard will against the export curbs.

But a rising number of Koreans take issue with the ongoing radioactive contamination of parts of Japan due to the nuclear catastrophe of Fukushima. In 2011, multiple nuclear meltdowns took place in the city.

Japan, which strives to show that the country bounced back from the nuclear disaster, plans to start the Olympic torch relay in Fukushima. In addition, it is set to host baseball and softball games there.

Against this backdrop, many Koreans talk about boycotting next year’s sporting event not because of the ongoing diplomatic conflict but because of concerns about nuclear radioactivity.

Their rationale: Despite sweat and blood of the athletes who have prepared the Olympics over the past years, it would not be worth their lives.

A petition was filed to the presidential house online board early July, which got more than 10,000 agreements from people.

Politicians are also hinting at the possibility of the nation’s boycotting the Olympics as lawmakers from the governing party continue to put the issues on their lips.

Outside of Korea, some also claim that Tokyo should not hold one of the greatest events in the world next to the greatest nuclear fallout sites so that exposing their own people and our athletes to dangerous levels of radiation.

Others came up with similar voices with different reasons – they urge Japan to stop hunting dolphins and whales.

Em 10 de novembro, a mídia japonesa FNN revelou que documentos escritos pelo governo coreano que dizem que 156 materiais estratégicos foram contrabandeados de 2015 para Março de 2019.

Entre os materiais estratégicos contrabandeados, foi confirmado que a matéria-prima do Gas VX usado no assassinato de Kim Jong Nam na Coréia do Norte também foi confirmada.

A FNN apontou que "eles também estavam envolvidos no contrabando dos Emirados Árabes Unidos (EAU), incluindo a fluoretação incluída na eliminação das preferências de exportação do Japão".

Katsuhisa Furukawa, membro do Comitê de Sanções do Conselho de Segurança da ONU, disse: "Fomos pegos em violações de exportação envolvendo a regulamentação de armas de destruição em massa. Ficamos chocados com o fato de o governo coreano não ter revelado isso". É difícil fazer isso?

'Korea will nurture basic science to overcome Japan'

By Jun Ji-hye

Choi Ki-young, nominee for science and ICT minister, said Monday he will institute policies to promote basic science and create an environment in which researchers can focus on studying promising technologies as a means to better cope with negative external conditions such as export regulations imposed by Japan against Korea.

He made the comments during a meeting with a group of reporters at the Gwacheon National Science Museum where his office was set up to prepare for the National Assembly confirmation hearings.

"All Koreans have now recognized the importance of science and technologies following export regulations recently placed by Japan," Choi said. "As an organization that oversees the nation's mid- and long-term policies related to science and technologies, the science ministry will thoroughly strengthen the basis and cooperate with relevant ministries to cope with crisis."

Choi, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, said he, if inaugurated, will innovate R&D sectors in order to secure capability of developing the nation's own material technologies, noting that basic science provides a solid foundation for innovative technologies.

The comments come amid growing uncertainty in the nation's economy following the Japanese government's Aug. 2 approval of a proposal to remove Korea from its whitelist of 27 countries that are granted preferential treatment in trade.

Before this, Tokyo tightened rules on exports to Korea of key three materials used in the semiconductor and display sectors, July 1.

"I will achieve innovation of policies governing science and technologies as well as information and communication to successfully realize great transition of the nation for the future," he said.

Choi who was tapped to lead the science ministry, Friday, is highly regarded in the field of chip design and artificial intelligence.

Novo Livro Branco de Defesa do Japão minimiza o papel da Coréia

Por Lee Ha-won, Lee Kil-seong
12 de agosto de 2019 13:06

O Japão deve minimizar a importância da Coréia em seu relatório anual de defesa que será lançado no final deste mês.

De acordo com a Kyodo News no sábado, a Coréia será mencionada em quarto lugar depois da Austrália, Índia e ASEAN na edição de 2019.

No ano passado, a Coreia apareceu em segundo lugar após a Austrália no capítulo sobre a cooperação de segurança do Japão com aliados que não os EUA Kyodo citou uma fonte do Ministério da Defesa dizendo: "Na verdade, isso significa um rebaixamento" para a Coréia.

Enquanto isso, legisladores do Partido Liberal Democrata, do governo do Japão, cancelaram uma visita à cidade portuária de Busan, no sul, a bordo de um navio de cruzeiro. De acordo com o Yomiuri Shimbun, um grupo de legisladores japoneses liderados pelo secretário-chefe do PLD, Toshihiro Nikai, planejou partir de Kanazawa em 31 de agosto e viajar para Busan para promover o turismo de cruzeiro.

Eles também esperavam encontrar autoridades coreanas importantes em Seul. No entanto, os planos foram cancelados devido a preocupações com sua segurança. O diário disse que uma reunião planejada em Tóquio no mês que vem reunindo os legisladores da Coréia do Sul e do Japão também deve ser cancelada.

Mas o Japão está mostrando sinais de se aproximar da China. Vice-ministros das Relações Exteriores de ambos os lados realizaram cinco horas de negociações estratégicas na Prefeitura de Nagano no sábado para discutir o fortalecimento das relações bilaterais e se preparar para a visita do presidente chinês Xi Jinping ao Japão no próximo ano.

A última vez que China e Japão realizaram conversas estratégicas foi em junho de 2012, antes do Japão anunciar planos para comprar ilhotas disputadas no Mar da China Oriental que os japoneses chamam de Senkaku e China Diaoyu.

A mídia chinesa, Dongfang Network, informou no dia 14 que a economia coreana está mostrando uma "luz vermelha", ao contrário do fato de que o governo coreano mostra atitude otimista e confiança à medida que o atrito comercial com o Japão se intensifica.

Ele introduziu que ficou claro que as exportações totais diminuíram 22,1% em relação ao mesmo período do ano anterior.

“o governo coreano está confiante, mas as empresas coreanas não pensam assim”, e mais de 70% das empresas coreanas reconhecem que é impossível produzir internamente todas as matérias-primas importantes. Ele também apresenta relatos da mídia coreana de que ficou claro que 7% das empresas coreanas esperam que o atrito comercial entre os dois países continue até o próximo ano.

https://translate.google.co.jp/translat ... 6937070%2F

“Para evitar uma depreciação do won, o governo coreano pode estar intervindo na troca do dólar, o que é o mesmo que a política de aperto monetário. Se a intervenção continuar, a participação do dólar diminuirá e, quanto mais vender, mais fraco será o won, e será o segundo movimento da crise cambial asiática. "

Os investidores estrangeiros não gostam do fraco ganho. Se o capital estrangeiro sair do mercado coreano, a Coréia do Sul poderá cair em uma crise cambial. Durante a crise cambial asiática de 1997, a Coreia do Sul tornou-se o estado administrativo do FMI (Fundo Monetário Internacional).

Ex-burocracia econômica e consultor político Noriya Usami disse: "A Coréia é mais dependente do comércio do que o Japão. Se a economia mundial for prejudicada no futuro, além da guerra comercial EUA-China, A economia estará em perigo. Se o won continuar caindo, terá naturalmente um impacto ".

Na verdade, o único país em que a Coreia do Sul pode confiar é o Japão, que tem uma forte moeda internacional. A única maneira de estabilizar o won é retomar os “swaps cambiais Japão-Coréia”

A moeda coreana não para de cair, a bolsa de valores também...

Recordando o trabalho do falecido presidente Kim Dae-jung, Moon insta Tóquio e Seul a buscar cooperação

JIJI
18 de agosto de 2019


SEUL (Reuters) - O presidente da Coréia do Sul, Moon Jae-in, disse neste domingo que o Japão e a Coréia do Sul precisam seguir um caminho de cooperação de acordo com a declaração conjunta de 1998.

Moon fez as declarações em um comunicado divulgado no Twitter e em outros meios de comunicação no décimo aniversário da morte do ex-presidente Kim Dae-jung.

Kim forneceu um guia para o caminho de amizade e cooperação entre o Japão e a Coréia do Sul, disse Moon.

Moon louvou a declaração conjunta de 1998 por esclarecer o profundo remorso e as sinceras desculpas do Japão por causar danos tremendos e sofrimento ao povo sul-coreano durante o período colonial de 1910-1945 na Península Coreana.

A declaração foi uma promessa de que o povo dos dois países compartilhará as lições da história bilateral e abrirá um futuro de paz de prosperidade, disse ele.

Moon também elogiou o falecido presidente por ter alcançado a primeira cúpula entre a Coréia do Norte e a Coréia do Sul, em 2000. Kim abriu um novo horizonte de paz para a península coreana e representou uma consciência que afeta para sempre os corações das pessoas, disse Moon.

Coreia do Sul faz aceno comercial ao Japão e diz apoiar negociações

Seul
15/08/2019 04h29

O presidente da Coreia do Sul, Moon Jae-in, fez um aceno ao Japão com a intenção de encerrar a disputa comercial entre os dois países, ao dizer que Seul irá "de bom grado dar as mãos" se Tóquio quiser conversar.

Em discurso televisionado nacionalmente, Moon minimizou a ameaça representada por lançamentos balísticos de curto alcance testados pela Coreia do Norte recentemente e expressou a esperança de que os americanos e os norte-coreanos em breve retomarão as negociações nucleares.

"Se um país arma um setor onde tem uma vantagem competitiva, a ordem do livre-comércio pacífico inevitavelmente sofre. Um país que conseguiu o crescimento primeiro não deve largar a escada enquanto outros estão seguindo seus passos", disse Moon, em referência ao Japão.

"Se o Japão, melhor tarde do que nunca, escolher o caminho do diálogo e da cooperação, teremos o prazer de dar as mãos."

Em meio a uma briga crescente com o Japão, a Coreia do Sul encerrou hoje (26) um exercício militar nas ilhas de Dokdo, no Mar do Leste, depois de realizar as maiores manobras de sua história. O exercício de dois dias envolveu todos os três segmentos das forças armadas, bem como o Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais e a Guarda Costeira. Com isso, a Coreia está demonstrando que não pretende recuar em sua disputa histórica com o Japão pelo território.

O número de soldados envolvidos foi quase o dobro dos exercícios anteriores, disseram autoridades.

A Guarda Costeira liderou o segundo e último dia do exercício, concentrando-se em manobras de campo sob o cenário de infiltrações de entidades não militares, que seguiram os exercícios liderados pela Marinha no domingo, projetados para melhor combater as ameaças militares estrangeiras.

Para os exercícios de hoje, nove embarcações da Guarda Costeira e da Marinha, bem como aviões de guerra e forças especiais, foram mobilizados. No domingo (25), os militares mobilizaram 10 navios da Marinha, incluindo o destróier equipado com Aegis de 7.600 toneladas, pela primeira vez, e 10 aviões de guerra, como os F-15K.

Os exercícios, que existem desde 1986, geralmente eram realizados em junho e dezembro, mas os exercícios deste ano foram adiados devido à aparente preocupação de que eles poderiam agravar excessivamente as tensões com Tóquio. O Japão, que fez reivindicações territoriais a Dokdo, protestou contra os exercícios.

No início do exercício, a Coreia do Sul deu a ele um novo nome: "Exercício de Proteção do Território do Mar do Leste". A Coreia abandonou o nome anterior: Exercícios de Defesa do Dokdo. Segundo a marinha coreana, o novo nome visa "consolidar ainda mais a determinação" do país de proteger e defender a área, incluindo Dokdo.

Os exercícios também ocorreram depois que um avião de guerra russo violou o espaço aéreo coreano acima das ilhas no mês passado.

Protesto

Apresentando queixas, o Japão pediu à Coreia do Sul que interrompesse os exercícios, mas Seul negou categoricamente tais pedidos e prometeu responder com firmeza às reivindicações territoriais do Japão em relação a Dokdo.

A Coreia do Sul mantem o controle efetivo dos afloramentos rochosos da costa leste com um pequeno destacamento policial desde 1945. O Japão tem reivindicado persistentemente Dokdo, recebendo forte condenação de Seul.

O exercício começou apenas três dias depois que a Coreia do Sul anunciou sua decisão de encerrar o pacto militar de compartilhamento de informações com o Japão em resposta às restrições de exportação de tecnologia do Japão para a Coreia do Sul.

A polícia deu início a uma investigação após um vídeo e fotos de um sul-coreano supostamente ameaçando e batendo em uma turista japonesa terem viralizado, disseram as autoridades no sábado (24).

“Encontramos a vítima e o suspeito no alegado caso de agressão, o qual ocorreu no dia anterior e entramos em contato com eles”, disse um oficial da Polícia do distrito de Mapo.

“Vamos investigar os detalhes do incidente”, disse.

No vídeo que viralizou, o homem segue a mulher de forma ameaçadora e a insulta. O vídeo acompanhou várias fotos do homem supostamente batendo na mulher.

A japonesa teria dito que o homem começou a ameaçá-la perto da universidade do distrito de Hongdae no oeste de Seul quando ela o ignorou no momento em que ele a seguia.

O incidente ocorreu em meio às tensas relações entre a Coreia do Sul e o Japão após as restrições de exportação de Tóquio sobre a Coreia do Sul em uma aparente retaliação contra as decisões de um tribunal superior de Seul sobre trabalho forçado de tempo de guerra.

Em 22 de agosto a Coreia do Sul anunciou sua decisão de se retirar de um pacto de compartilhamento de inteligência militar bilateral, citando uma “grave mudança” nas condições de cooperação de segurança entre os dois países.
