Much more mercurial, however, and therefore more frightening, is that riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma known as North Korea, with its alternate launching of rhetorical fusillades and long-range missiles. And what has happened to Japan, that once mighty economic engine now reduced to a source of bleak news about stagnation and malaise? Then there is South Korea, manufacturer of such technologically advanced products as smartphones, and lately a generator of transnational fads ranging from snail cream to K-pop. Going beyond these standard scripts, The Dream of East Asia presents a framework for understanding contemporary Northeast Asia, focusing on the countries that comprise our conventional understanding of what we call East Asia--namely, China, Taiwan, Japan, and the two Koreas. In so doing, John Lie illuminates regional economic, political, and cultural dynamics. 4aEast AsiaxRelations. 4aChina. 4aKorea (South) 4aJapan. 4aKorea (North) 4aTaiwan. 0aAsia shorts ;vno. 2.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oDS504.5 .L54 2018pPNLIB21060039r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c225d225
