East Asian Union would never work. South Korea and Japan are in US sphere of influence. This is like saying Russia would join NATO or the EU.

Also Chinese, Korean and Japanese are all far too nationalistic compared to European nations (Britain, France, Germany) to ever make a union work. The EU works because Europeans do not hate Germany for the war in the same way that Asia hates Japan. Also, Germany has truly repented for its history: Japanese haven't. Asia is still too childish to make a union work.
