Actually, this is federalism. Not imperialism... And because the states elect the executives and legislators, your claim doesn't hold any water.
You realise how Romes legislature was held power in there senate right?
Most of the time it was rich families scattered throughout the kingdom, much like how our politicians are usually from predominately rich families from there respected areas. I think my claim holds plenty of water my boy.
Can you back up that claim with a source? Obviously the consumers who purchase them think it's worth it and that's not mine to judge.
Well true, it is totally fine, but I dare you do a google search with Kia or Hyundia + the word "warranty" + the word "scam" and listen to the horror stories. Anyone who knows anything about auto industry knows that the department that is incharge of warranties, finance and insurance are the departments where car companies make there real money. Selling cars is to costly, the real money is in all the stuff that goes along with the car purchase.
Kia and Hyundai are known world over for sleezy warranties and ****ty cars, and Americans have there hands all over that pie. GE has had large stake and other prominent American companies.
Well Korea was under colonial rule much like most of china, but in both China and Korea there were large liberation movements happening at the same time. They may not of fought together but both sides had liberation fighters.
Also I remind you that in Korea Japan was trying to kill the culture of Koreans,
"Focus was heavily and intentionally placed upon the psychological and cultural element in Japan 's colonial policy, and the unification strategies adopted in the fields of culture and education were designed to eradicate the individual ethnicity of the Korean race."
Japan went as fat to take all Chinese characters off famous statues to re-enforce less Chinese influence on Koreans daily lives. The Japanese do not get along with the Chinese.
A fact many may not know about WWII, America killed about 70,000 Koreans when we dropped both A bombs. In both the cities there were about 70,000 Koreans working in the factories. You want another reason why Koreans might be a little pissed off at America.
For some reason South Korea has become good friends with Japan, even after many years of being confined to slave labor and defacto rule, many South Korean professors say "it was for our best interest and opened our doors to capitalism". That's funny, the door to capitalism was opened with the wips of colonialism.

This pisses off a lot of North Koreans, and it should. They suppress there culture, declare defacto rule, stifle education, force slave labor and try to destroy there language....but it was all for the best.
Man that really busts my balls, and you want to know who that kid in the picture is...he is a kid who should grow some balls like all south koreans should.
