Trade War?

Not sure what is really going on. I prefer not to mix economics, business, and politics. But it seems to be more and more these days. No one wins in a trade war and possibly the idea of a Korea/Japan trade war seems to be progressing. Japanese companies are going to suffer and Korean companies are going to suffer, if they aren't already from the China/US trade war. No one wins. There has got to be better ways to solve problems or challenges.

It doesn't seem to be the best strategy for either country to impose sanctions or whatever as both countries, more than ever, need each other to overcome the obstacles related to the China/US trade war. Both economies are not at their best right now and seem to be trending down, so the idea of political tactics or whatever you want to call them might not be the best idea now.

Too many other companies, such as Apple and HP, non Korean companies, are going to be affected by the Japanese strategy. It doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Both countries can do better!
