This author is clueless about Korea
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on June 11, 2012 - 11:04am.
A Canadian long-term resident in Seoul once wrote in her blog that Seoul has less Chinese influences than her hometown of Vancouver, which she found striking considering how China's only 250 km away from where she was living.
The fact is those who live in Korea know that China has almost zero influence in Korea, and Korea is very anti-China in culture and politics. What's more, average North Koreans blame their current misery on China's support of Kim's regime and will become even bigger China haters than the resident in the South.
Just as former East Germans turned anti-Soviets after the fall of the Berlin Wall, North Koreans will turn feverishly anti-China after the collapse of Kim Regime, and the unified Korea would firmly in the western block in terms of security alliances. A security alliance with China is not even dreamed up in Korean media at all.
So the Post-Unification Korea's model will be Germanization(Where the unified Germany became the leader of Western Europe), not Finlandization(Political Neutralization).
