You don't seem to understand the scale of China's economy. From the perspective of world economic ranking:
你似乎不了解中国经济的规模。从世界经济排名来看:
Japan ranks third in the world, but only equivalent to the combined GDP of Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces.
•日本在世界上排名第三，但只相当于广东省、江苏省和山东省的GDP总和。
South Korea ranks tenth in the world, but it is only equivalent to the GDP of the entire Jiangsu Province.
•韩国在世界上排名第十，但只相当于整个江苏省的GDP。
However, there are 34 provinces in China 34 provinces 34 provinces
然而，中国有34个省...... 34个省...... 34个省......
Just like two teenagers saying to a strong man, we want to isolate you! Then, the strong man walked away without lifting his head.
就像两个少年对一个壮汉说，我们要孤立你!然后，强壮的男人头也不抬地走开了。
In addition, China is developing the western region and restoring the "Silk Road" of the Tang Dynasty. Today, the leaders of the five Central Asian countries held a meeting in Xi'an, China. China held a grand welcome ceremony in the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty.
When Western China is fully developed, China will become the largest economy in human history. Eurasia will soon become a whole, while the United States will remain on a separate continent alone.
In the face of enormous interests, it is foreseeable that in the future, all American European allies will violate American orders. We can all see the arrival of this day.
Japan and South Korea have complex histories, and the suffering caused by Japan will not be easily erased. Both are separated by the Sea of Japan and have developed totally different cultures. The separation from North Korea further increases the burden of South Korea.
Any form of military cooperation between Japan and South Korea must take into account North Korea's response, and Russia and China are also aware of the growing risks and have conducted joint exercises, including appearing off Japan's east coast and simultaneously crossing the Zingaru Strait.
As for isolating China, it requires strong growth to drive it. Economic growth can be driven by population growth, territorial conquest, or increased productivity. The population of Japan and South Korea has reached historical peaks and is also decreasing. As developed economies, productivity growth has already been squeezed out of the population, so we can expect that unless a large influx of immigrants enters, the future growth of Japan and South Korea will be tepid or stagnant.
South Korea and Japan donot have excess industrial capacity to compete with China. Just look at the total production of steel and cement in both countries. Both companies provide high-quality products, but due to the lack of significant subsidies, their pricing has no advantage in market competition. Even worse, Chinese people can deliver projects on unimaginable tight schedules. Countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia have already wasted years on contractors in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea before collaborating with Chinese contractors. They are all repeat customers in China now.
The biggest loophole in your "isolation" theory is China's core role in Japan and South Korea's Trading nation. China is a supplier, customer, raw material origin, labor force and an absorber of excess capital. Life in Tokyo today is very comfortable, largely because Japanese companies have shifted costs to China.
South Korea has also had a difficult time. Recently, China has temporarily restricted the export of urea, a byproduct of coal processing, which has led to a truck transportation crisis in South Korea, which relies on Chinese exports. Despite strong opposition from China, the large chaebol Lotte withdrew from the Chinese market after providing land for the controversial deployment of Sade. 10 trillion Korean won went bankrupt, and 20 years of hard work went to waste. In recent years, Samsung mobile phones have gone from leading to insignificant in the Chinese market. If the friction continues, the Chinese will completely abandon Korean products.
Japanese and Koreans need Chinese people more, whether they admit it or not, this has been a historical norm for East Asian people who use chopsticks for thousands of years. Both cultures are unable to transcend their historical boundaries, indicating that deep cultural isolation is a survival mechanism in harsh environments that is simply not suitable in today's globalized world.
Don't interpret the axis of Japan and South Korea too much. This is a Western narrative that, like most Western narratives, is detached from reality.
不要过多解读日韩轴心，这是一种西方叙事，和大多数西方叙事一样，脱离了现实。

Every country has its own interests, and in the field of international relations, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests
“每个国家都有自己的利益，在国际关系领域，没有永远的朋友，只有永远的利益”-巴麦尊勋爵
The United States has a huge political influence on South Korea, which is mainly due to the long-term military alliance between the two countries, including providing security and influencing Military policy. After the end of the Korean War, the United States held important power as a suzerain in South Korea, and even played a role in a close election. This influence was evident in Yoon Kwang hung's election, where he became one of the least popular presidents in South Korea with a 55% opposition rate. In addition, the United States has played an important role in cultivating close relations between South Korea and Japan, which are often seen as forced alliances, despite large-scale protests in South Korea every day.
China, known for its non-interference foreign policy, usually does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, including South Korea and Japan. Although China cannot control the actions of other countries, it can exert influence on its diplomatic and trade relations with these two countries. By maintaining trade relations, striving to achieve Balanced trade, and aiming to achieve an export surplus by 2025, China can control its actions in its exchanges with South Korea and Japan. In contrast, the United States is increasingly involved in the internal politics of these countries, even demanding that they contribute $40 billion to their military spending.
I cannot predict specific future events or geopolitical developments. The dynamics of political and cultural relations between countries are complex and may be influenced by various factors.
Although Japan and South Korea have indeed established closer political and cultural ties in recent years, this does not necessarily mean that China will become more isolated in East Asia. China is a regional power with strong economic influence, and its relations with neighboring countries are multifaceted.
China actively develops diplomatic and economic relations with East Asia and other countries around the world. China has established extensive trade partnerships, invested in infrastructure projects, and launched diplomatic initiatives such as the "the Belt and Road". China's economic growth and increasing global influence enable it to establish relationships and partnerships with other countries.
The political landscape will change over time, and the relationships between countries will also change due to a series of factors, such as economic interests, security concerns, historical issues, and changes in regional dynamics. The future trajectory of political and cultural relations in East Asia will depend on the interaction of these factors and the decisions and actions of relevant countries.
Are you sure? South Korea and Japan have a huge dispute on an island. South Korea and Japan have just ended (but I still think it is in progress) their economic war with each other recently. Most importantly, South Korea and Japan dislike working together and would rather not be together. There is no good relationship between the two countries, but they are both aligned with the United States, which forces cooperation between the two countries, causing disharmony between the two countries, let alone the fact that China's economy is far stronger than the two countries.
Not to mention, compared with other countries invaded by Japan, the entire Korean Peninsula suffered the most under Japanese rule (I was born in Singapore, grew up in Singapore and Malaysia, and my mother's family survived the purge period). Comfort women are a very sensitive topic for Koreans. South Korea and China set up the An Jung-geun Monument in Harbin, Chinese Mainland, to commemorate the Korean assassin An Jung-geun, who was considered a criminal in Japan but a hero in South Korea.
In my opinion, Americans or Westerners know nothing about this field. As a person of Eurasian ancestry, my mother is of mixed Chinese and Malay descent, and my father is British. I grew up in Southeast Asia and have some understanding of the geopolitics and history of Southeast Asia and East Asia. Before asking a foolish question, why don't you first understand what's going on here, instead of believing in the foolish American politics you believe.
The trade dispute between Japan and South Korea, also known as the Economic warfare between Japan and South Korea, is an economic conflict between Japan and South Korea.
日韩贸易争端，又称日韩经济战，是日本与韩国之间的经济冲突。
There are different reasons behind conflicts. The Japanese government removed South Korea from the "white list" of preferential trade in July 2019, in response to South Korea's alleged violation of the United Nations ban on exporting certain materials to North Korea. Later, it officially argued that the conflict was caused by the South Korean government's non-compliance with export controls and regulations to prevent the resale of strategic goods, and ignoring the Japanese government's request to hold three-year export control negotiations. However, this conflict is considered to be the retaliation of the South Korean government against the compensation judgment of the Supreme Court of Korea.
Some external observers suggest that the current tense situation reflects various historical grievances over Japan's occupation of the Korean Peninsula and recent regional hotspots, such as relations with North Korea and China.
The trade dispute led to the serious deterioration of Japan South Korea relations, which fell to the lowest point since the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1965. This cannot be reversed by Yoon Suk Yeol's simple goodwill. For example, the following conflicts erupted between Japan and South Korea:
1. The dispute between Japan and South Korea over the islands broke out before the Shoda Yoon Suk Yeol meeting
1、日本和韩国围绕岛屿的争端在岸田-尹锡悦会晤之前爆发
A few days before the planned meeting between the leaders of the two countries, a South Korean opposition lawmaker visited a long disputed rocky island. An observer said that the timing of this visit was more to make Yoon Suk Yeol "embarrassed" than to issue island sovereignty. Seoul calls these islands Dok do, while Tokyo calls them Takeshima
2. South Korea: The disappointing Japanese judgment failed to bring justice to the "Comfort women"
2、韩国方面:令人失望的日本判决未能为“慰安妇”伸张正义
Today, the Korean court rejected the request of the Japanese government to pay compensation to women and girls who were forced by the Japanese army to become Comfort women before and during World War II. In this regard, Arnold Fang, an East Asia researcher of Amnesty International, said:
Today's ruling is very disappointing, failing to bring justice to the survivors of this military slavery system, to those who suffered from these atrocities before and during World War II but have passed away, as well as to their families.
"More than 70 years have passed since the end of the World War II. We condemn the Japanese government for stopping denying these survivors the right to full compensation, and believe that it is urgent to provide effective remedies in their lifetime. Only 4 of the 10 survivors who filed lawsuits in 2016 are still alive."
3. Japan stated that the video "proves" that a South Korean warship locked weapons on a Japanese aircraft
3、日本表示，视频“证明”韩国军舰曾将武器锁定日本一架飞机
Last Friday, Japan released a video claiming that a South Korean warship had locked a weapon targeting system onto a Japanese aircraft, confirming the escalation of the dispute between Japan and South Korea.
South Korea has condemned the release of this video and reiterated its refusal to accept Japan's accusations.
韩国谴责了这段视频的公布，并重申拒绝接受日本的指控。
Tensions have escalated since Japan claimed that a South Korean destroyer targeted a Japanese maritime patrol aircraft with Fire-control radar in the waters off the east coast of South Korea last week. Seoul has denied these accusations, stating that the ship is only searching for a North Korean fishing boat drifting near the North Korean maritime border.
The South Korean Ministry of Defense stated that in order to ease tensions, the defense authorities of both sides held a video conference on Thursday to "exchange views on the truth and technical analysis to eliminate misunderstandings.
最近，韩国政府宣布与日本达成了一项历史性协议，给“日韩劳工赔偿问题”画下了句号，本来这是一件有利于日韩和平的好消息，但没想遭受了韩国民众的指责，纷纷在韩国总统府外面表示抗议。韩国的在野党也跳出来，指责韩国政府“卖国求荣”，背叛历史，背叛韩国人民，中国也对此表示警惕。在美版知乎Quora上，外国网友问，日本和韩国越走越近孤立了中国，中国该怎么办？这引起各国网友的围观和热议，我们看看他们的观点。

Japan and South Korea have complex histories, and the suffering caused by Japan will not be easily erased. Both are separated by the Sea of Japan and have developed totally different cultures. The separation from North Korea further increases the burden of South Korea.
日本和韩国有着复杂的历史，日本造成的苦难不会轻易被抹去。两者都被日本海隔离，发展出截然不同的文化，与朝鲜的分离进一步加重了韩国的负担。
Any form of military cooperation between Japan and South Korea must take into account North Korea's response, and Russia and China are also aware of the growing risks and have conducted joint exercises, including appearing off Japan's east coast and simultaneously crossing the Zingaru Strait.
日韩任何形式的军事合作都必须考虑到朝鲜的反应，俄罗斯和中国也意识到了日益增长的风险，并举行了联合演习，包括出现在日本东海岸外，并同时穿越津加鲁海峡。
As for isolating China, it requires strong growth to drive it. Economic growth can be driven by population growth, territorial conquest, or increased productivity. The population of Japan and South Korea has reached historical peaks and is also decreasing. As developed economies, productivity growth has already been squeezed out of the population, so we can expect that unless a large influx of immigrants enters, the future growth of Japan and South Korea will be tepid or stagnant.
至于孤立中国，这需要强劲的增长来拉动。经济增长可以由人口增长、领土征服或生产力提高来驱动。日本和韩国的人口数量都达到了历史峰值，人口数量也在减少。作为发达经济体，生产率增长已经从人口中榨干了，因此我们可以预期，除非大量移民涌入，否则日本和韩国未来的增长将不温不热或停滞不前。
South Korea and Japan donot have excess industrial capacity to compete with China. Just look at the total production of steel and cement in both countries. Both companies provide high-quality products, but due to the lack of significant subsidies, their pricing has no advantage in market competition. Even worse, Chinese people can deliver projects on unimaginable tight schedules. Countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia have already wasted years on contractors in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea before collaborating with Chinese contractors. They are all repeat customers in China now.
韩国和日本都没有多余的工业产能来与中国竞争。看看两国钢铁和水泥产量的总和就知道了。这两家公司都提供高质量的产品，但由于没有大量补贴，它们的定价在市场竞争中毫无优势。更糟糕的是，中国人可以在难以想象的紧张时间表上交付项目。越南、印度尼西亚和沙特阿拉伯等国家在与中国承包商合作之前，已经在欧美日韩的承包商身上浪费了数年时间。他们现在都是中国的回头客了。
The biggest loophole in your "isolation" theory is China's core role in Japan and South Korea's Trading nation. China is a supplier, customer, raw material origin, labor force and an absorber of excess capital. Life in Tokyo today is very comfortable, largely because Japanese companies have shifted costs to China.
你口中的“孤立”理论的最大漏洞是中国在日韩两国出口导向型经济中的核心作用，中国是供应商、客户、原材料产地、劳动力以及过剩资本的吸收者。今天东京的生活很舒适，很大程度上是因为日本企业把成本转移到了中国。
South Korea has also had a difficult time. Recently, China has temporarily restricted the export of urea, a byproduct of coal processing, which has led to a truck transportation crisis in South Korea, which relies on Chinese exports. Despite strong opposition from China, the large chaebol Lotte withdrew from the Chinese market after providing land for the controversial deployment of Sade. 10 trillion Korean won went bankrupt, and 20 years of hard work went to waste. In recent years, Samsung mobile phones have gone from leading to insignificant in the Chinese market. If the friction continues, the Chinese will completely abandon Korean products.
韩国的日子也不好过，最近，中国暂时限制了煤炭加工副产品尿素的出口，导致依赖中国出口的韩国出现了卡车运输危机。大型财阀乐天不顾中国的强烈反对，在为备受争议的萨德部署提供土地后退出了中国市场。10万亿韩元打了水漂，20年的努力付诸东流。在近几年里，三星手机在中国市场从领先到无关紧要。如果摩擦持续下去，中国人就会完全抛弃韩国产品。
Japanese and Koreans need Chinese people more, whether they admit it or not, this has been a historical norm for East Asian people who use chopsticks for thousands of years. Both cultures are unable to transcend their historical boundaries, indicating that deep cultural isolation is a survival mechanism in harsh environments that is simply not suitable in today's globalized world.
日本人和韩国人更需要中国人，不管他们承认与否，这一直是东亚使用筷子的人几千年来的历史常态。这两种文化都无法超越其历史边界，这说明了文化的深度孤立性是恶劣环境下的一种生存机制，在全球化的今天根本不适合。

美国对韩国拥有巨大的政治影响力，这主要源于两国长期的军事联盟，包括提供安全保障和影响国防政策。朝鲜战争结束后，美国在韩国作为宗主国拥有重要权力，甚至在势均力敌的选举中发挥了作用。这种影响在尹光雄的选举中表现得很明显，他以55%的反对率成为韩国最不受欢迎的总统之一。此外，美国在培养韩日密切关系方面发挥了重要作用，韩日关系通常被视为被迫结成的联盟，尽管韩国每天都有大规模抗议活动。

以不干涉外交政策著称的中国，通常不干涉包括韩国和日本在内的其他国家的内政。虽然中国不能控制其他国家的行动，但它可以对自己与这两个国家的外交和贸易关系施加影响。通过维持贸易关系，努力实现贸易平衡，以2025年实现出口顺差为目标，中国可以在与韩国和日本的交往中控制自己的行动。相比之下，美国越来越多地参与这些国家的内部政治，甚至要求它们为其军事开支贡献400亿美元。

China has established extensive trade partnerships, invested in infrastructure projects, and launched diplomatic initiatives such as the "the Belt and Road".

3. Japan stated that the video "proves" that a South Korean warship locked weapons on a Japanese aircraft

South Korea has condemned the release of this video and reiterated its refusal to accept Japan's accusations.

Seoul has denied these accusations, stating that the ship is only searching for a North Korean fishing boat drifting near the North Korean maritime border.
自从日本声称一艘韩国驱逐舰上周在韩国东海岸海域用火控雷达瞄准一架日本海上巡逻机以来，紧张局势已经升级。首尔方面否认了这些指控，称这艘船只是在搜寻一艘漂流在朝韩海上边界附近的朝鲜渔船。
The South Korean Ministry of Defense stated that in order to ease tensions, the defense authorities of both sides held a video conference on Thursday to "exchange views on the truth and technical analysis to eliminate misunderstandings.
韩国国防部表示，为了缓和紧张局势，双方防务当局周四举行了视频会议，“就真相和技术分析交换了意见，以消除误解”。
