The dispute between South Korea and Japan could threaten the global supply chain for smartphones and electronic devices

Hong Kong South Korea has warned Japan against escalating a dispute that could upend a trade relationship worth around $80 billion and threaten the global supply chain for smartphones and electronic devices.

During a telephone call on Friday, Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha pressed her Japanese counterpart to lift trade restrictions on materials South Korean companies need to produce computer chips. She also urged Tokyo not to further aggravate the situation by removing South Korea from a list of countries that can trade with Japan with minimum restrictions.

Oww

Yea!

You want it to

The United States should come forward to mediate. It cannot affect the US economy, but it is also considered for Japan and South Korea. Guilt is something that needs to stop.

Japan simply re-regulates the export to Korea which is the same situation before 2013. No impact on global supply chain. All wrong.

Your view and opinion influenced by Japanese left side don't help, but damage South Korea more than before. You must think why.

Wouldn’t that be great 👍

Geez. How did we ever become so dependant on Asia? Oh ya, because anybody looking out for their own community is labelled alt right, racist, white supremacist by the Fake News Media. A little pride and care of your country over your narrow self interest would go a long way
