The topic of this issue is South Korea's large-scale military exercises, North Korea's test launch of large rocket artillery, and the peninsula is surging.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the South Korean military held a large-scale military exercise in the northwest of the peninsula on March 15, in which the South Korean army's special forces and marines participated in the exercise. According to analysis, South Korea's large-scale exercise may be to prepare for the "provocation" in the South Korean parliamentary election in April.
It can be said that the recent South Korean exercises have not stopped, and the day before this exercise, the "Freedom Shield" joint exercise between the United States and South Korea had just ended. Under the leadership of the United States, 12 countries, including France, the United Kingdom, and Australia, participated in the exercise.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that this would further stimulate the escalation of the situation, but the United States and South Korea still went their own way and insisted on taking a tough stance to deter the northern part of the peninsula.
On 18 March, the DPRK leader personally instructed artillery units in the western region to conduct super-large rocket artillery firing training. This time, the North Korean army test-fired a 600-millimeter rocket launcher to confirm the weapon's power and actual combat capabilities.
According to reports, the DPRK leader also inspected the firing positions, personally inspected the operation of the artillery, and listened to a report on the training. It is enough to see that the DPRK side attaches great importance to this rocket launch.
In response to such successive actions by the United States and South Korea, the DPRK leader has long been prepared for the worst, and mentioned in a previous speech that if the enemy dares to use force against the DPRK, they will not hesitate to mobilize all their forces to bury the enemy.

For a time, the military atmosphere on the peninsula became even stronger, and the pressure returned to South Korea. During previous joint exercises between the United States and South Korea, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-hyun said that if the northern part of the peninsula took the initiative to launch a provocation, South Korea would "strike first."
South Korea always puts on the image of being bullied, but in fact, during this period of time, it was basically the United States and South Korea that took the initiative to carry out military deterrence actions, which attracted a counterattack from the north of the peninsula. However, because the military strength of the North Korean side is greater than that of South Korea, South Korea is always frightened by every move they make.
It is not difficult to see that the current situation on the peninsula is rather tense, with the United States and South Korea forming the "14-nation coalition" and then the South Korea's large-scale military exercises. The United States and South Korea are just trying to bluff, but we can see that the North Korean side is not so easy to give in.
At present, the northern part of the peninsula has the attitude of not hesitating to start a war at the slightest change, so although South Korea has frequently made big moves, it still does not dare to take the initiative to provoke a war, and out of fear of North Korea's nuclear weapons, the United States and South Korea do not dare to excessively challenge North Korea's bottom line.
But the problem is that the United States and South Korea are afraid, but they don't know how to stop, and now the United States and South Korea are like flying kites, dragging the kite string in their hands, thinking that they can control it, and they will take it back if they want to, and if there is a strong wind one day, the kite string will be broken, then the situation will get out of control.

Prior to this, the DPRK had clearly decided to reconcile the "completely hostile relations" between the DPRK and the ROK, which means that the DPRK and the ROK are no longer of the same ethnic group and will never complete reunification. It can be seen that the current tension on the peninsula is gradually rising.
As a matter of fact, there is no way to ease the situation on the peninsula, and the DPRK has long put forward conditions for peace talks. One of the prerequisites is the withdrawal of US troops from the peninsula. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why the situation between the DPRK and the ROK has changed frequently is because the United States is constantly arching the fire behind it. However, the ROK lacks trust in the DPRK and has continuously strengthened military cooperation with the United States, giving the United States the opportunity to stir up the situation. Therefore, in South Korea's view, the DPRK's military buildup has become a manifestation of its reluctance to hold peace talks.
At the same time, South Korea's recent frequent moves may also have something to do with the current international situation. The current Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the Red Sea crisis have all involved too much energy from the United States, and if this continues, the United States will pay less attention to the peninsula.

However, the more aggressive South Korea behaves in this way, the more detrimental it will be to the situation on the peninsula, and South Korea will only make the situation more serious by relying on the power of other countries for its own security. In particular, it has borrowed the power of the United States, but the United States has never been a defender of regional peace, and this can be proved by the fact that it has stirred up contradictions in other regions, and the United States will only create chaos around the world and then profit from it.
As a responsible major country, China has not stood idly by on the Korean Peninsula issue.
Such harsh language is still relatively rare in China's relevant foreign speeches, which shows that China attaches great importance to the Korean Peninsula issue. The Chinese foreign minister's remarks are also a warning to the United States that if it wants to replicate the "Ukraine" model on the peninsula, it will definitely pay the price.

However, if we want to solve the Korean Peninsula issue, the key depends on South Korea's attitude, and now Yoon Suk-yeol is blindly dependent on the United States, and even wants to "use nuclear weapons to counter nuclear weapons." Therefore, under the manipulation of the United States, I am afraid that the crisis on the peninsula will continue for some time.
As the saying goes, "although the road is far away, it is coming, and although it is difficult to do, it will be done." The turbulent situation on the peninsula over the past few decades or so tells us that only dialogue and consultation are the most fundamental way out. The strengthening of military cooperation between the United States and South Korea will only make the situation on the peninsula more tense, and if the United States and South Korea continue like this, no one dares to guarantee what will happen to the peninsula in the future.
