The U.S. Hand in Japan and Korean Politics, with Tim Shorrock

As China continues to rise, and the U.S. continues to attempt to dominate the world, Northeast Asia is becoming an increasingly crucial battleground. The United States is currently trying to encircle China with a network of hundreds of military bases, while building up a trilateral military alliance with South Korea and Japan. But many in those countries want to be free of U.S. domination. Today’s MintCast focuses on Japan, Korea, and how deeply the United States has crafted and shaped the internal politics of those nations. Our guest today is Tim Shorrock, a writer and commentator who has covered the region since the 1970s. Growing up in Japan, Tim has covered Korea for The Nation magazine since 1983.
