From a reader:

This is in response to the Korean-American reader who wrote to you.
As a Korean-American whose parents suffered under Japanese rule, I totally disagree with the previous person regarding Korea/China/Japan. Maybe you should get everyone to read Sharansky’s book on democracy. China in 50 years will be a threat to Korea, both militarily and economically, unless it becomes a full democracy. China has already impacted Korea’s economy by siphoning off a large chunk of foreign investments. Letting short-term outlook and past grievances affect your policy is a foolish view in my opinion.
