Why both Japanese and Korean nationalists lust after Manchuria Options

Seems like Manchuria has nothing do with them at all.
It beats me


Anyway, just a shoutout.

Or it could be paranoia on the Korean nationalist side that they think Chinese nationalists would get bored enough to claim that Korean nationalists want to promote a "greater Korea" concept by annexing Manchuria as well as creating a so called Altaic union just to make Korean nationalists look bad.

I think both sides are blowing it out of proportion. I think there probably were some fanatic Korean nationalists that promoted the annexation of Manchuria. Then some Chinese nationalists caught wind of that and thought all Korean nationalists were crazy enough to promote that idea. But it's pointless because Manchuria isn't going anywhere, even if there are fanatics in the Korean population their government would think hard before on acting on this idea.

Most Chinese in China consider such thing as another internet korean joke, along with the Korean claimed everything jokes, etc.

I dont really understand why the guys here make it such a serious deal? They claim that? OK, have a good laugh and thats it.
