China and South Korea: future allies?

May 8 is Mother's Day, but that doesn't necessary mean everyone in the world will celebrate it.

Saturday, China called on Japan and South Korea to sign on a possible three-way free trade agreement, Japanese officials said. This the free trade agreement is believed to improve the tension among the three countries. This is a sign that China is releasing its goodwill to the neighbors, Japan and South Korea. Money and profit are still the maintream voice in the world, right?

Meanwhile, the leaders of China and South Korea met in Moscow and pledged to work to solve the North Korean nuclear bomb issue. China wants to be closer to South Korea, not only for North Korea, but also to confront with Japan in the future.

If China is to become a true global power not just economically, they are going to need to join forces with someone politically. Even America doesn't stand alone just look at the how the U.K's Prime Minister Blair was deeply involved in helping the U.S. build its case for a preemptive strike.
