I may be wrong about this, but I always understood that Chinese and Koreans are more similar to each other than to the Japanese in terms of culture, etc. The Japanese engaged in a hostile occupation of both countries in the 1930s, too.

Having said that, I'm still kind of surprised to see that this kind of "diplomatic tension" still exists. Didn't Japan and South Korea co-host the World Cup a few years back?

Sometimes its good to be an island.
