branch kitchen and service staff are being replaced by machines. by county w. business asia i'm going to jones and dylan good to have you with us a south korea central bank has warned that to japan's recent decision to cut exports of tech materials could cause major economic damage the export restrictions relate to 3 materials the major south korean companies like sam's a need to make a semiconductor chips and to displace tokyo's decision to limit supply comes amid an escalating dispute between the 2 countries about compensation for south koreans forced into labor pan during the 2nd world war. or for more let's bring in our correspondent in south korea. fabienne this is a dispute that just seems to be escalating i mean with souled sole announcing today that it will cancel its intelligence sharing pact with tokyo where does all this

lead. to this comes a little bit as a surprise 1st just yesterday the foreign ministers of china japan and so we are what we can be doing to try to resolve the conflict but obviously it's nor will the cancellation of the military sharing. doesn't have any immediate effect because it will still run months older. and then it will not get renewed but it is the essential for the trilateral alliance between japan south korea and the u.s. so the turnout griot now this alliance shows open rifts and to me that's also proof that the straight this is even expanding out towards security issues which is why it's that we are and this dispute i can only imagine must also have an impact on south korea's economy we heard that from the central bank today how damaging is it . well maybe not s. damaging yet as you might expect it to aspects of the south korea was stripped off japan's white list of preferred trading hotness and this is more of

a symbolic move. off a nation in asia are not on the wifeless observe and anyway so this will bring more inconveniences such as you no longer our approval procedures for exports but japan has also regulated the exports to solve we all 3 chemicals were really critical essential for south korea's biggest industry namely the semiconductor industry so japan could possibly can to the south korean companies by james m. for example for some sun to produce semiconductors but this has not happened yet the 1st batch of exports have already been approved but the government you want to talk to some of the shows today they seem quite alarmed because it's a sensitive issue president going to end up south korea is that popularity is really really weakening because of the domestic economy and just today the finance minister has announced that south korea may miss its target growth for this year of 2.5 percent and he blames the trade dispute with japan parts and how is all of this

going down with the people of south korea are they feeling the pinch and 2 are they blaming. well they're not getting the pinch yet but they are there's a lot of anger and but anger is directed against the japanese prime minister shinzo aba and according to surveys is less popular in south korea the north korean leader kim jong il and the main reason is because he's seen as a revisionist who glorifies japan's aspect the colonial past under which south koreans suffered a lot and there's a channel for this and of that and that's the stronger message and tighter pay and boycotts and effects like all japanese business here and the central bank of korea has measured at the last credit card spending on japanese products in the last month has like only 50 percent what people spend on the japanese products it's really really messed up. all right. reporting for us from the south korean capital seoul on the current situation in that strange dispute between south korea
