    Reckless

    I work in Tokyo and just had a presentation from Korean attorneys. Looks like they are light years ahead of Japan and really proactive in cooperating with the US. Not like Japan where they rue every agreement and ignore the 90% benefits in favor of the 10% bad points. I think Korean per capita could exceed Japan within 10 years.

    Well one things for sure if Japan continues as is many more companies will more more/all of their operations outside Japan so Korea might be able to win some of it.

    Right now Japan has no plan for ANYTHING regarding people or business, its is sad sitting here watching the decay

    The South Korean trade surplus is expected to grow after this agreement is in place. If that's what it means to be an "economic colony" then by all means, I wish the US was one as well!

    "good luck with that, Korea. you will be taken over by the US shortly."

    If it wasn't for the U.S., they already would have been taken over - by North Korea.
