      It’s going to be really funny if Korea ends up being reunified simply because the regime in the south falls as a result of a population collapse.

        In the same way India will eventually become number 2 it feels inevitable given enough time the reunification of Korea. Being Samsung’s labour pool and a US pitstop is only going to get you so far.

            Do you reckon? Are they heavily invested in American AI or is it more like domino effect of collapsing stock market bubbles (or something else eg the US will milk SK for all its worth to prop up its own GDP)?

              I expect more that it’s the latter, similar to the economic shock DPRK suffered when USSR collapsed.

      I mean yeah, the US war on korea was, in large part, to rebuild japan as a market after WW2 so it was aligned w the west. Both the war and Korea itself became the impetus for Japan’s economic recovery. Their fate is tied together unless their people revolt against the imperialists.
