According to South Korean media reports, according to the statistics of the votes obtained in the South Korean presidential election earlier today, Yoon Seok-yue, the presidential candidate of the largest opposition party national power, successfully won the presidency by defeating another candidate, Lee Jae-myung, with a score of 48.58 percent. This means that after a brief two-month transition period, Yoon Seok-wook will immediately take over all of Moon's affairs and reorganize his cabinet to open a new presidential model in South Korea. Yoon Seok-wook himself has a "legendary resume" in which he personally sent two former presidents, Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, to prison, and his tenure created decisive conditions for this victory.
However, the background of Yoon Seok-yue in the South Korean media is very similar to that of a big figure in the United States, Vice President Harris: both of them are born with legal degrees and have served as prosecutors for many years after entering politics; and then they both jumped from the position of prosecutor general to the high position of president (vice president) at one time, without any experience in high-level national offices. Coincidentally, since the 1980s, the vice president of the United States and the president of South Korea have both served in Congress at least once, and most of them have resumes in important positions in special institutions of the party, and both of them are completely blank in this regard.
Those who are concerned about Sino-South Korean relations will inevitably pay attention to a problem: As the dividing line between moderates and hardliners in China, Yin Xiyue and Lee Jae-ming have huge differences in their views on the development of Relations with China. Lee Jae-ming insisted on taking the road of "South Korea's self-determination," striving for military dominance and developing relations with China steadily, rejecting the so-called "US-Japan-ROK alliance.", while Yoon Seok-yue said that he would take the route of favoring the United States, and on the sensitive issue of "THAAD" deployment, he also said harshly to China: Although China is very sensitive to this matter, for the sake of national defense requirements, the current "THAAD" is simply not enough, and it is necessary to abandon the "three noes principle" promised during The Moon Jae-in's administration and pursue the deployment of this weapon closer to Seoul. South Korean media believe that this move will completely reset the relationship between China and South Korea.
At the first press conference after Yin Xiyue's victory, he made a general exposition of the definition of the future development relationship between China, the United States and Japan. Yoon Seok-yue believes that South Korea and China should maintain the principle of "mutual respect", while relations with Japan should be "future-oriented", and we should seriously consider the issue of South Korea-Japan relations, focusing on the common interests of the two countries and the pursuit of the future generation of young people in the two countries. For the United States Yin Xiyue, he firmly said that it is necessary to rebuild the "US-Rok alliance" and that the two sides must strengthen all-round strategic alliances in the future, and he also spoke with Biden on the phone for the first time.
It is also worth mentioning that although Yoon Seok-yue's high-level political experience is zero, he uses this point to focus on his "clear stream" political banner of "not understanding mainstream politics and not having deep relations with South Korean politicians", and wins the favor of the South Korean people who hate the collusion of chaebol politicians. Some fear that South Korea under Yoon Seok-wook will abandon the geopolitical line of the previous government and bring South Korea more and more under U.S. control based on his own personal preferences, and that he has threatened to "liquidate" the shortcomings of the former government, which will also affect the fate of former President Moon Jae-in.
