美 전문가 "일 수출규제, 경제, 안보, 미국 전략 목표에 피해" 현지 연결<br /><br />As part of our week-long interview series seeking perspective from various experts across the globe, today, we take a step into whether Japan's latest string of tightening export controls on South Korea and security and economic implications from the escalating Seoul, Tokyo dispute.<br />Joining us live from Washington, D.C. is Patrick Cronin, Asia-Pacific Security Chair at the Hudson Institute. He was formerly VP at the CSIS.<br />Pat, thanks for joining us this morning.<br />You've publicly discussed extensively on the ongoing Japan, South Korea trade spat - in your view, are the latest actions taken by Japan serving that country's overall interest? Can we say the move is purely non-political?<br />The tit-for-tat retaliation between the two - what are some economic ramifications on the two economies - especially on key industries... semiconductors, obviously, in South Korea, but which industry in Japan will feel the blow the hardest?<br />Could a trade dispute between the world's third and twelfth largest economies have knock-on effects for the regional or global economy?<br />Not only in economy, but South Korea and Japan have been part of a trilateral security alliance with the U.S. in the face of pressing security threats on the Korean Peninsula. How does the escalating trade row dent Japan's strategic interest?<br />Do you think the U.S. will rise to the occasion and try to find a way to nudge its two Asian allies toward a dispute resolution? How do you foresee the Seoul, Tokyo row settle or can we not see the light at the end of this tunnel?<br />Patrick M. Cronin, Asia-Pacific Chair at Washington-based Hudson Institute... many thanks for your insights this morning. We appreciate it.<br />
