...press conference in Seoul Monday evening, Abe said that the tests had dominated his talks with President Roh Muh Hyun of South Korea, and told reporters: "It is a serious threat not only for Japan, South Korea and neighboring countries' regional security, but also a threat to international peace." That's the case as well for China and Japan, normally wary rivals at best. "A nuclear test brings China and Japan closer together tactically," says Malcolm Cook, program director for Asia and the Pacific at the Lowy Institute of International Studies in Sydney.

After two days of intense negotiation, the two sides avoided a high-seas skirmish, thanks to a last-minute deal in which Japan postponed its survey and Korea agreed not to submit its name proposals. Would sanity prevail? Hardly. Korean President Roh Moo Hyun reignited the dispute last week with a spectacularly inflammatory televised speech. "Japan's present claim to Dokdo is an act negating the complete liberation and independence of Korea," he declared. "This is a matter where no compromise or surrender is possible, whatever the costs and sacrifices...
