Tarō Kōno → Taro Kono – It seems that per WP:COMMONNAME this article should be moved to remove the macrons, nearly all of the English sources write his name as Taro Kono instead of Tarō Kōno ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 02:10, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale for Japan - South Korea Cooperation[edit]

Currently, we phrase the page as "Kono believes that Japan and Korea must stick together in order to compete with the current economic superpower of the world, the United States". However, I can't seem to find a source that states this as the rationale for sticking together, and actually, I am finding sources pointing towards this being against China (which would actually make sense with the rest of his statements and policies as well). I marked it "^{[citation needed]}", and I just wanted to throw it out there in case anybody can find it, but if we can't find anything, I am going to fix the page.
