preface
The world pattern is turbulent, and in the past two days, the Korean Peninsula has not been very peaceful, but somehow all of a sudden, the peninsula has suddenly warmed up, and relations have become more and more tense.
The recent actions of the two sides have exacerbated the situation, and it is only then that Yoon Suk-yeol is considering whether to visit China to take the opportunity to bring China closer to China and ease tensions on the peninsula.
However, the South Korean side made excessive demands at this time, and they wanted the mainland to visit Korea first and then consider the plan to visit China. Isn't the ROK considering easing relations with the mainland?
Peninsula Mystery: How to play Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to China?
Recently, the situation on the peninsula is a bit like a mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings. On the North Korean side, the missile test launch was like setting off fireworks, going back and forth twice every three days, without any ambiguity at all.
On the Korea side, the Yoon Seok-yue government is also in a "hard-hitting" posture, with various joint military exercises with the United States and Japan, and pulling in more countries, full of gunpowder.
To put it bluntly, the situation on the peninsula is, in the final analysis, a chessboard of the great power game. The United States and Japan want to muddy the waters of the Asia-Pacific region by taking advantage of the Korean Peninsula issue. The north and south sides of the peninsula are sandwiched in the middle, one wants to borrow strength to protect itself, and the other wants to fish in troubled waters.
Although it has been more than two years since Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, the relationship between China and South Korea cannot be said to be a "retrogression", but can only be said to be a "thousand miles away".
Korea has previously backtracked on the deployment of its anti-missile system and repeatedly jumped sideways, posing a serious threat to mainland security.
Originally, during the Moon Jae-in period, China and South Korea finally reached a consensus on the "three noes", and it is clear that relations are about to warm up. As a result, as soon as Yin Xiyue came, he immediately turned his face and did not recognize people, and he frowned at the United States, deploying strategic weapons and conducting joint military exercises, making it clear that he wanted to act against China.
On the other hand, the Yoon Suk-yeol government is also very "one-sided" in diplomacy. In order to hug the thigh of United States, it is all kinds of "kneeling and licking", and even does not hesitate to harm China's core interests and point fingers at the Taiwan Strait issue and the South China Sea issue.
This time, Yoon Suk-yeol suddenly remembered to visit China, but because of the tense situation on the peninsula, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he wanted to find China to "put out the fire." To put it bluntly, they just want to use China as a "firefighter".
But then again, although there is an element of "expediency" in Yoon Seok-yue's visit to China, it is not completely unnecessary from the perspective of Korea's own strategic needs.
After all, in the final analysis, the Korean Peninsula issue must be resolved through dialogue and consultation. As a close neighbor of the Korean Peninsula, China has a decisive influence on the Korean Peninsula issue and is an important force that no side can ignore.
Therefore, if Korea really wants to ease the situation on the peninsula and improve relations between the North and the South, it must strive for China's understanding and support. Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to China is undoubtedly a valuable opportunity for communication and dialogue with China and seeking cooperation.
"Pride and Prejudice": The Korea Government's "Calculations" and "Miscalculations"
Judging from the current situation, the Korea government does not seem to have shown enough sincerity for this visit. Judging from the reaction in Korea, there is still a lot of opposition to Yoon Seok-yue's visit to China.
Many Korea parliamentarians and media believe that under the current situation of no obvious improvement in Sino-South Korean relations, Yoon Seok-yue's rash visit to China will only make the talks embarrassing and tense, which is not conducive to the solution of the problem.
Some people have even suggested that Yoon Suk-yeol should first take concrete actions to improve relations between China and South Korea, such as making concessions on the issue of the anti-missile system, and then talk about his visit to China.
Some recent remarks by Korea's ambassador to China, Chung Jae-ho, have also raised doubts about the sincerity of the Korea government. He said at a meeting that he suggested that the Chinese side visit Korea first and then arrange for Yoon Seok-yue to visit China.
This remark, to put it bluntly, is to make China "low profile" and give Korea "face" first. You must know that the exchange of visits by state leaders is a very serious matter, and it can only be determined after full communication and consultation between the two sides.
However, Zheng Jae-ho openly made such unreasonable demands on China, which not only exposed the arrogance and prejudice of the Korea government, but also made the outside world doubt the sincerity of the Yoon Seok-yue government.
More importantly, the Korea government does not seem to realize that the responsibility for the development of China-South Korea relations to this point is entirely on the Korea side.
China has always developed its relations with Korea in line with the principle of "good-neighborliness, friendship, and win-win cooperation," but the Korea government has insisted on going its own way, repeatedly challenging China's bottom line on the THAAD issue, and constantly "leaning one-sided" toward the United States in diplomacy, seriously damaging China's strategic security interests.
In the final analysis, the Korea government still did not recognize the situation and did not put itself in the right position. They seem to have forgotten that China is no longer the weak country it used to behold.
Today, China is the world's second largest economy, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and an important force for maintaining world peace and stability. China has its own core interests and principled stand, and will not sacrifice its core interests for the sake of any country.
If Korea really wants to improve its relations with China, it must show enough sincerity, face up to its own mistakes, and stop all actions that harm China's interests.
Otherwise, even if Yoon Suk-yeol does go to Beijing, it will be just a "political show" and it is impossible to achieve any substantive results.
The Situation on the Korean Peninsula: Can the Visit to China Solve the Problem?
The issue of building an anti-missile system has a great impact on Sino-ROK relations. In recent years, the situation on the peninsula has continued to be tense, and tensions between the DPRK and the ROK have put a great danger of breaking out.
Many officials in Korea feel that Yoon Seok-yue's visit to China can help ease tensions on the peninsula and promote a solution to the peninsula issue.
The mainland is an important neighbor of the Korean Peninsula and has an indispensable influence on the affairs of the Korean Peninsula. The Korean Peninsula issue is very complicated and involves the interests of many quarters, and cannot be resolved by a single visit.
If the Korea government really wants to resolve the Korean Peninsula issue through its visit to China, it should show sincerity, strengthen communication and coordination with the Chinese side, and jointly promote the political settlement process of the Korean Peninsula issue.
Conclusion
If Yoon Suk-yeol really considers visiting China, it will be an opportunity and a challenge for China-South Korea relations.
If this visit is reached, it will provide an opportunity for high-level dialogue between China and the ROK to exchange views, enhance understanding and promote cooperation on issues of common concern.
As a challenge, China-ROK relations are currently facing many difficulties and challenges, and there are still differences and contradictions between the two sides on some major issues.
In order for this visit to achieve positive results, Korea should take concrete actions to stop harming China's interests and show sincerity in improving relations between the two countries.
We will also maintain communication and dialogue with Korea in line with the principle of "good-neighborliness, friendship and win-win cooperation" to promote the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations. We believe that as long as both sides make joint efforts, China-ROK relations will be able to overcome the immediate difficulties and usher in a better tomorrow.
