Abstract:
Union is desirable. Because the concept of a Union includes the equality of oneself within a group whereas, the concept of a Community places restrictions on oneself.
Therefore, rather than Community, Union has the capability to allow the inclusion of individual countries. For this reason, it would then be the East Asian Union. Appropriately, I would prefer to apply a new name: “Gently structured East Asia”. While avoiding political intention, this concept can be used to identify the peacefully, loosely and gently organized, related region
