• South Korea's Hopes For North/South Accord Dimmed, But Not Dashed Foreign Media Reaction 27 Mar 2001-- Editorialists in East Asia and Europe viewed South Korean President Kim Dae Jung's March 7 Washington visit as both a turning point in bilateral relations and another example of Bush administration policies that are more assertive and less conciliatory than those of its predecessor. These observers criticized the U.S. for "throwing cold water on the ongoing process of reconciliation and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula," but Seoul commentators held out hopes for the revival of the process. Most agreed that "President Kim is the one who will have to bear the consequences if his opening to North Korea is shut down." Some writers did, however, judge that Pyongyang's dilatory and extortionary tactics had much to do with Washington's adoption of a tougher stance.
