China holds rare summit with U.S.-allied South Korea and Japan
NBCJAN 2024
It's crystal clear that America wants to use both Japan and South Korea as proxies to advance its hegemonic ambitions to counter China, so their leaders must not fall into such a trap that can only bring instability and chaos to East Asia. Seoul and Tokyo must act in accordance to their own national interests and accelerate cooperation with Beijing.
...Under pressure from the West, Beijing has no alternative other than to restore trilateral cooperation with Japan and South Korea. And as China remains their largest trading partner, the two major US allies in the Asia-Pacific can't just ditch it. Yet, this is no cause for alarm as even Washington has worked to stabilize ties with the PRC.
There's a 10% chance that there will be a US-China war before 2035, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
