A protester holding anti-Japanese banners during a rally against Japan’s decision to remove South Korea from a so-called ‘white list’ of favoured export partners.
They came as Tokyo’s removal of the South from its so-called “white list” of trusted trade partners went into effect. He insisted Seoul’s decision to terminate the intelligence-sharing deal – known as the General Security of Military Information Agreement – would not lead to “fissures” in the alliance between the US and the South.
Both Japan and South Korea are market economies and major US allies faced with an overbearing China and nuclear-armed North Korea. Blue House official Kim said Japan had triggered the dispute by imposing restrictions in July on exports crucial to South Korean tech giants such as Samsung Electronics, the world’s biggest smartphone and memory chip maker.
