Chinese food tend to have more oil than Korean. Traditional Korean food is similar to traditional Chinese, however Korean tend to have more dry salty seafood & pickle vegetables.

North American Chinese food tends to be greasier and is sweeter than traditional Chinese (traditional tend to be saltier). The ½ dozens Korean restaurant that I have been to in North America tend to sever foods that have much Japanese influent.

What do you mean by this? If anything Japanese copied the Koreans/mainland because Japan originated from Korean migrants to the island.

Other people may have different Americanize Korean dining experience than I, however my limited North American Asian culture/foods experience suggested that Americanize Korean foods/restaurants tend to borrows Americanize Japanese dishes.

And, no where in my post that I indicated that the penisula Korean culture bowrowed from the Island Japanese.

nope, you are right and it isn't limited to north america. if you go to korea half the restaruants serve japanese type foods. it could be argued that some of the raw seafood stuff is korean also as korea is a peninsula but i think it's generally recognized as more japanese.

otoh, japanese people crave kimchi from korea.
