Critical of anti-Japanese sentiment

Hong Se-hwa is critical of South Korean liberals and progressives' anti-Japanese nationalism. He sees liberals using radical rhetoric that appears to be anti-imperialist on the outside, ironically curbing the growth of the South Korean socialist movement. He thinks neither Japanese conservative-nationalists nor South Korean liberal-nationalists speak for working class. He takes the view that "Japanese imperialism" is somewhat exaggerated by liberals, and liberals compromise with chaebol for anti-Japanese nationalistic reasons. He also takes a critical view of the fact that South Korean (non-progressive) liberals never criticize American imperialism.[2]
