Over the centuries, Japan and China have taken turns dominating East Asia, and both now seek to assert regional hegemony. Historically, the Korean Peninsula was the playground for this rivalry, but, with North and South Korea appearing to make peace with each other, South Korea is also staking a claim to regional influence.
中国就是一个例子。几个世纪以来，日本和中国轮番主宰东亚地区，现在两国都在寻求获得地区霸权。纵观历史，朝韩半岛一直是这场竞赛的比赛场地，但是随着韩国和朝鲜快要彼此达成和平，韩国也要宣扬它对该地区的影响力。
