About this Quote

This quote by Kim Dae Jung suggests that if the United States were to withdraw from South Korea, there could be a power battle between nations such as China and Japan. This might be due to the fact that South Korea is a strategically essential nation in East Asia, and its elimination from the US sphere of influence might produce a power vacuum that other countries would aspire to fill. This could cause a competition between China and Japan to get control of South Korea, which might have major implications for the region. It could also result in increased stress in between the two countries, as they both make every effort to gain control of the nation. Eventually, this might lead to a destabilization of the region, and could have far-reaching effects for the whole world.
