112. Another proposal to invade South Korea (Part 3) Unlike the North Korean regime, whom the Japanese and Chinese absolutely despise, the North Vietnamese regime, though both Japan and China might deny it, in reality both Japan and China have, if not publicly, then at least secretly, supported the North Vietnamese. Both Japan and China wanted the North Vietnamese to defeat the South and unify the country. China provided direct support to the North during the war. Japan provided support in establishing the Viet Minh initially. Once the Viet Minh began fighting the Americans during the sixties, Japan provided indirect support by fomenting a large leftist movement in Japan. This movement opposed the Vietnam War. The antiwar movement was essentially a threat to end the alliance between Japan and America, to communize Japan, to align Japan with China, Vietnam, and the rest of Asia in a united group of countries who absolutely hated the West. There is nothing that the West fears more than this. To prevent that from happening, the West decided to allow the reunification of Vietnam, Nixon made a historic visit to China which started America and China on the path to rapprochement, Communist China was admitted to the UN, Taiwan was expelled from the UN, and America allowed Japan to normalize relations with China.
