Dennis: OT. LOL! You're absolutely right about the manner in which the Koreans(and most of the rest of Asia for that matter) view the Japanese. The Japanese tend to be viewed by the rest of Asia in a manner identical to the way most of the West, and Europe specifically, once viewed Nazis Germany. And to think the Japanese still haven't so much as attempted to apologize for certain wartime atrocities as will go unmentioned here. This failure to apologize most probably the end result of certain policy ramifications first started by MacArthur(by the way) during US occupation of the "Land of the Gods", as the Japanese tend to view their homeland. Soooo, detest? Hoooo hoooo, boy, me thinks detest ain't a strong enough word. John~

Dennis V. I have said this many times. The Korean Gov't encourages internal production and trade in components for assembly of final products bound for export to the extent that they virtually, require any foreign company to pair up with a Korean company to produce the component in S. Korea. Like all Asian countries they try to import, as little as, possible and export, as much as, possible. The reason for the VLNC/Hanil plant. They want to keep the foreign exchange in their country by keeping their export/import balance in the black. Also, the Japanese tend to be very expensive when selling proprietary products. Two great examples are computer LED screens which is licensed U.S. technology and cultured pearls. Bill
