As they trap on the vicious ‘blaming-game’ of bitterness and historical-distortion that happened on Great World War II or the recent tension over the disputed island, this paper explore the role of economic necessity and trade dependency in order to recover the bilateral-relations between them as requiring these two countries to improving their diplomatic relations better than they’ve been in decades.
