Abstract

While the process of globalization continues, the common development of East Asian cultures becomes more important. The paper mainly focuses on the construction of the East Asian Cultural Community, especially about the cooperation between China, Japan and South Korea. This article firstly introduces the historical connections of the three countries to explain the basis of cooperation by mentioning the common religion and languages within them. Then, the article analyzes the obstacles and potential of the East Asian Cultural Community by referring to the existing benefits and drawbacks of cooperation, both economically and culturally. By explaining the theory of critical geopolitics, the article states that competitions in East Asia are intense in many fields, with the dramatic growing popularity of pop culture industries in Japan and South Korea weakening their will to share those unique parts of their cultures. However, economic benefits motivate the three countries to export their cultures, fostering the growth of catering while also advertising different customs in neighboring countries. With the convenience of social media and the spread of pop culture, the article agrees that successful cooperations above can encourage further construction of the East Asian Cultural Community. In conclusion, a larger scale of cooperation under development of the East Asian Cultural Community is accomplishable.
