Mate, you just change from "Idealist" to "Hypocritical"
Essentially, what you are saying is that, as long as you can use whatever mean to extinguish the so called "western imperialism". You are good for it. Going so far that you even promote "Asian Colonist-ism" to replace the western imperialism...
Did it ever occur to you that it's this "Asian Post Colonialism" mind set is what drove Asia into the so called "Western Imperialist"? Including the Yours Truly - Japan?
While you sitting in front of your computer dreaming about the resurrection of "Great Eastern Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" Did you ask yourselves is that what other wanted? You may speak on behalf of Japan (Actually you couldn't) but you did not represent any of the other East Asian Entity, and to force upon the believe of "Union" is for greater good to all other entity is basically what you said the "Western Imperialist" was doing all along.
Set aside whether or not
CAN China-Korea-Japan form a Union for that matter,
Should or
Would China and Korea form an Union to Japan is a whole other problem. While you can hypothetically form a Union with any country in the world. The matter of fact is if said Union are warranted and benefited to every member of said Union. What you now presenting is a mindset of "Like it or not, we are gonna get it" would be no more than force this perception to people that outside your domain.
While purporting or advocating the union is your own business, but to tell down an individual that oppose to said union is a bit hypocritical, don't you think? I mean you can go all out and support a Greater Asian Union, I would not have say anything to you, but you should not and could not say anything to me for me not supporting it.
Do not trying to tell other people what they should be thinking......You have your right to advocate your own point, so did
@gambit. He saw what he saw, you weren't him, how exactly can you understand why he think what he think?
You should let him express his point, it does not matter what one individual think, because we all know any sort of an Union against the United States will only end up like this

Do remember, we did not asked for WW2 to come to us. Even after the extreme pressure the US face with the Great Britain, but when War have a way to find us, we will have to finish it somehow. And when it was all over and those people cry Hegemony, then they should always remember this, if they don't want to have to cry foul, don't start a war that they cannot possibly finished.
You should really let him drool in his dream, reality is, we are still holding Japan and South Korea by the balls, and it wasn't we whom asked for it.
