...draft treaty, it was clear that the long and bitter relationship was yielding to a more conciliatory mood-or, as the Japanese put it, moodo. Though Japan's Prime Minister, Eisaku Sato, made it very clear that Japan and South Korea were not entering into an anti-Communist pact, both countries unquestionably had been pushed together by Red China's explosion of a nuclear device...
