Today, the situation in Europe, which was also enmeshed in the same war, is quite different to that of Asia. In Europe, France and Germany have reconciled their past and now jointly lead European countries on a path towards integration. They have set up an example of regional integration and Germany has also regained widespread international respect. In Asia, Japan has locked horns with both China and South Korea over historical and territorial disputes. These disputes have become frequent and can now be said to characterize a new normal in Northeast Asian intemational relations. Reconciliation between these countries is still distant, which makes it very difficult to advance regional integration.展开更多
