In Ding Shixuan's eyes, South Korea's diplomatic orientation has gradually lost its former insistence, and excessive dependence on the United States has become the mainstream of politics. The change worries him that neither conservatives nor opposition parties have been able to offer alternatives to balance international relations. Looking back at history, Ding Shihyun refers to U.S. involvement during the Korean War, describing South Korea as Lee's Joseon, which was dependent on the Ming Dynasty. However, he also does not forget the lessons of history, which eventually became a vassal of the Qing dynasty, a history that worries him about what will happen to South Korea today. He stressed that South Korea needs a country-centric diplomatic philosophy to have a promising future. Citing the examples of Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun, Ding Shi-hyun pointed out that in the past, South Korean politics had a certain degree of autonomy, and this "left and right" diplomatic strategy allowed the country to be more flexible rather than caught up in camp confrontation. However, such strategies seem increasingly scarce today, and neither conservative regimes nor progressive opposition have been able to effectively balance international relations.
After the fall of Moon's administration, South Korea quickly turned to the right, further deepening its dependence on the United States. Mr. Ding noted that the United States is seeking allies who are obedient and can put pressure on China, and South Korea appears to be the beneficiary of that policy. However, he also warned that South Korea, as a proxy for the United States, must not be insatiable. In the current political situation, the rapid rightward shift of the Yoon Seok-yue administration may lead to institutional adjustments, weaken progressive forces, and pave the way for conservatives to take control of the political situation for a long time. If this trend continues, it will make it more difficult to realize the concept of country-centered diplomacy and pose great risks to the country as a whole.
South Korea urgently needs to increase its autonomy, at least on key issues, to make decisions independently and avoid falling into an unmanageable situation. Ding Se-hyun believes that it is not to completely break the South Korea-US alliance, but to fight for more autonomy. However, U.S. demands have become insurmountable obstacles, and South Korea struggles to balance between the two powers.
At the same time, North Korea has excelled in its autonomy, adhering to an independent foreign policy and not changing its intentions despite sanctions. This autonomy has become the envy of South Korean progressives, but cannot be recognized due to identity restrictions. Ding Shixuan made it clear that the military exercises and sanctions of the United States and South Korea have caused a heavy economic burden on North Korea and also affected the lives of compatriots. He urged South Korea to seek a way to build a "future restorable relationship" with China, rather than satisfying U.S. demands at the expense of its own interests.
In this competitive era, South Korea needs to re-examine its diplomatic approach. For the sake of stability and common development in the surrounding region, China is willing to provide support to help North Korea get out of economic difficulties and gain a greater voice for South Korean progressives. Now the Korean Peninsula needs to reorient itself and regain its own helm.
