TOKYO - Japanese companies broadly support Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s tough trade stance against South Korea, a Reuters poll found.
More than nine in 10 predicted Japan would win if Seoul takes its complaints to the World Trade Organisation . Removing South Korea from a “white-list” of favored export destinations means some Japanese exporters face more paperwork and on-site inspections before they can win permits, which could slow Korea-bound exports for a wide range of goods.
“As we stand on the brink of a recession amid U.S.-China trade frictions, it’s undesirable to take such steps that could accelerate the downtrend,” a manager at a wholesale firm wrote in a survey response.“It’s obvious that the Moon administration is putting its utmost priority on reconciliation with North Korea at a time when North Korea proceeds with nuclear development,” wrote a manger at an electric machinery maker. “It’s only natural to deprive South Korea of most-favored-nation status.
Asked how they evaluate Japanese government’s explanation for its export curbs against South Korea, about three-quarters of companies in the Reuters poll said it has been explained fully or to a degree.
