This is very constructive to all three parties and the whole of Asia.
In peacetime there should be trade time and economic prosperity.
This could lead to a revolution in the security policy as well and change from aggression and provocation as in the former NATO alliance to a cooperative security policy without the craziness of NATO’s antisocial personality disorders. 🤣
It is good for like-minded, culturally connected people to come together for peace & prosperity. This will be the way of all around the world. All three of these cultures have endured or are still enduring colonial oppression by hegemonic empire.
The keys to empire are religion, corporations & military. If we take a cursory view of the last 500 years of history, we'll see that missionaries were sent soon after explorers "discovered" a place. The corporations were there, too. The area of Eastern USA was dominated by the Hudson Bay Company which still exists in some form today. The company people assess the riches that can be acquired & begin trading with the native people. The military comes in later to "clear the land" so that colonial "settlers" can hold the land for the corporation. Religion is used as the "soft power" to quell the natives & teach them their inferiority to the dominant invader.
Thus, corporate wealth is directly tied to conquest. The fact that conquered, colonial people become good at forming companies & producing goods is a result of learning well from their ruler culture in the cases where there is freedom to do so. In extractive colonialism as found in most of Africa & South America, the majority of people are kept in poverty.
China created the freedom to build its own companies after it finally threw off its "Century of Humiliation" in revolution. South Korea essentially was overtaken by corporate control after foreign military came in & wrested half of the peninsula away in war. While some corporations might be "South Korean" we can bet that most have their reins held in USA/ UK /EU. From the way USA has treated Japan, it seems to have had a solid control of its corporations. Thus, its economic rise was seen as a threat. Why western corporations didn't simply buy them out & take them over would be worth knowing.
My point is that whatever the hegemon does, it is seen as a benefit to the corporations. If USA can "win" a war against China, all the spoils of war will be snapped up. In themselves, corporations are neither "good" nor "bad." The human mentality or consciousness that oversees them determines whether all the "profit" they earn is ultimately to serve the greater whole of humanity or a select few.
The soonest, the better! And that in the interest of all - planet, human, plant and animal species - including of Europe, that "peninsula of Asia" as the French poet Paul Valéry one said. But first the present EU, especially the Poles, Baltics, the Commission and Parliament should be convinced to drop sanctions on Russia and continue trading with China. Most easy to swerve might be the Parliament. In order to do that, mobilize the EU business community to lobby in favor of maintaining and promoting China-EU trade links.
Interesting. Good analysis.
