| South Korea to scrap intelligence-sharing pact with Japan amid history feud |
| 2019-08-23 |
| [DAWN] South Korea will scrap an intelligence-sharing pact with Japan amid an intensifying dispute over history and trade, South Korea's presidential office said on Thursday. The decision was made after a meeting of the presidential National Security Council. The deal was due to be automatically renewed on Saturday, unless either side decided to cancel it. Japan created a "grave change" in the environment for bilateral security cooperation by removing South Korea's fast-track export status, said Kim You-geun, a deputy director of the National Security Council. |

| #11 Herb was stuck somewhere in HK methinks. Everyone will agree that Japan had really been a summbitch all up to their meeting with Fatman. Before that, they just didn't know the meaning of co-existence. |

| #8 Historically, there has always been animosity between China, Korea and Japan. No love lost between any of them. Koreans and Chinese like to pretend that it's all Japan's fault but the history goes a lot further back than WWII so I find that difficult to believe and we all know how the Chinese like to keep the pot boiling. Is Herb really a Chinaman? |

| #5 So, SK don't like Japanese because of the last century. Their first clash with Chinese was in 4th century BC. |

| #4 There are a few Korans still alive today who were real slaves under the Japanese. You think the 'slave' circus here many generations later is out of hand, multiply that 10 fold there. A Korean acquiescence asked me once why only two bombs? |

| #2 Blaming China? There is plenty of bad blood between Korea and Japan without having to blame foreign bogeyman. It was suppressed for a long time and now things are going back to normal. Both Japan and Korea think of themselves as the best race on the planet. When they had it out, Japan got the better of Korea and this is the consequences. |

| #1 China is working overtime to get these two countries at each other's throats. |
