closer fakes are trying from brazil to iran. this is the tell me a business asia imes and now the unwelcome it's a fight dating back to the japanese occupation of south korea in the early 20th century this court over war era labor compensation has snowballed into a rapidly escalating trade conflict between the 2 countries seoul said today it was moving to reduce its the pendency on japanese exports and japan may yet remove south korea from its list of preferred trading partners the dispute could hurt lobel supply chains allies like the u.s. are concerned. executives of some songs headquarters are currently discussing supply disruptions at the beginning of this month japan placed restrictions on the export of some chemical materials to south korea samsung needs them to produce chips and touch screens the conflict has caught the attention of washington. so fundamentally they are ok in japan must resolve these sensitive matters and we hope

that resolution happens to the united states as a close friend and an ally to both will do what it can to support their efforts to resolve. the region welcomed the offer of conciliation just last week the u.s. state department to tear down that it preferred to stay out of the dispute but says korean protests against japan have increased at the japanese embassy in seoul a demonstrator wearing a mask depicting japanese prime minister shinzo was symbolically slapped in the face. and large supermarket chains have removed japanese products from their shelves the conflict threatens to develop into an emotional costly economic war that affects more than just the electronics industry. joining me now in the studios 5 democrats are he's our correspondent in south korea currently on a brief visit to berlin welcome to you fog and now talking this is a historical conflict with very current consequences could you tell us what it is

that the 2 countries actually want so if you to understand that conflict we have to go back to the $65.00 bits when both countries not with ice their diplomatic relations and japan at that time paid financial compensation because of its walk rhymes and also wrongdoings during the colonial period however south korea was a military dictatorship at that time and it used those funds not a didn't allocate them to the victims but use it to build up infrastructure so actually after south korea opened up and became a democracy the civil society and also the victims of war crimes demanded compensation and also of apology however japan sees this conflict as settled it is solved and they don't want to south korea to bring it up in the international community so there is a conflict and the recently south korean president basically backed the claim of the south korean civil society and also the constitutional court order japan's biggest filmmaker to pay financial compensation to the foremost victims of forced

labor so basically the straight war is a retaliation by japan for the historic dispute i see and it's as we say spilling over into today but it's also spilling over in a region that's already made complicated by the north korean issue now how big of a role does that play in today's discussions and quite a big role japanese media have reported that south korea has exported bent goods towards north korea named the hydrogen fluoride which it received from japan and then. supposed to be exported to north korea that would be a violation of international sanctions however seoul rejects that claim so we cannot verify it cannot falsify it and both countries have a quite different stance towards north korea south korea really wants peace it once engaged in towards north korea japan however it's highly skeptical and they do a lot to keep this status quo actually now this is obviously very complicated

a lot of history and a lot of present day trade tensions these export curbs could ripple all across global supply chains now do you see any potential at all for a resolution well i think it will only get worse i think there will be further escalations and last friday we've seen working double talks between a delegation of japan and south korea to solve things but what happened actually it made things only worse there was a really cold reception the japanese sides didn't even properly greet or bow bow down to words the south koreans in the end both sides didn't even agree what was discussed and what should be disclosed to the public and i see many friends and acquaintances in south korea actually individually boycotting japanese products and there's a lot of strong n.t. japan sentiment well that sounds like it's gotten some very emotional dimensions indeed but we're also coming to a time where the u.s. has decided to wade in on this discussion despite initial reluctance to do so that

signals to was that this could mean more for the wider world what's your take on that well between on this i find it pretty said that both countries japan and south korea share a lot of history a lot of culture they're both allies with the u.s. and they're both democracies and still they cannot get over this dispute and i think it's quite historic it will take another generation to really solve that conflict and interesting to south korea always points at germany in that conflict especially that of former president bill brown who was kneeling down in 1970 to apologize for the holocaust. and they basically want japan to do something similar to basically kneeling down to apologize for their war crimes when they do that no no i don't i don't see any solution with. there must be you i mean he's quite it takes a lot of. revisionist stands when it comes to japan's current history so i think with the best no solution to the conflict another generation to solve the conflict
