For example, following President Park Geun-hye’s request that Xi honor the Korean assassin of a Japanese prime minister, to which Xi readily agreed, she began to discuss joining the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade negotiations, in order to assuage the US. As China continued to pursue an anti-Japanese propaganda campaign throughout 2013, Park felt obliged to make some effort to revive ties with Japan by sending a private envoy to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to seek talks on reconciling their disputes.
比如，韩国总统朴槿惠要求习近平颂扬刺杀日本首相的韩国人（习近平早已准备好欣然接受），随后又开始准备讨论加入美国领导的跨太平洋合作伙伴（Trans-Pacific Partnership）自由贸易谈判，以此讨好美国。2013年，中国一直在进行反日宣传，与此同时，朴槿惠感到有必要采取行动修复与日本的关系，派遣个人特使与首相安倍晋三会晤，寻求谈判调和两国争端。
