Amid the 2+2 talks ahead of the ROK-US diplomatic and security centers, China is in check, saying that Korea will become a’weak link’ in the US siege strategy with China.
On the 17th, the Global Times, an English version of China’s state-run media, observed that the United States could successfully lure Japan with the’Chinese threat theory’, but South Korea could neglect this threat theory.
The media delivered the news of the first meetings between Foreign Minister Eui-yong Eui, Defense Minister Seo Wook, Secretary of State Tony Blincoln, and Defense Minister Lloyd Austin. In particular, he noted that the US side mentioned security concerns about China and North Korea, but Secretary Seo Wook did not mention China.
The media analyzed that the reason Korea cannot openly collide with China is because of its high political and economic dependence on China, and that Korea will distance itself from the’Asian alliance’ led by the US to check China.
Professor Jung explained that the Asian strategy of the Joe Biden administration is still centered on’US priority,’ and that it considers the interests of the United States but does not consider the interests of Korea.
He added that South Korea is currently facing many problems, including economic revitalization and easing relations with North Korea that cannot be resolved without Chinese help.
“It seems that the Biden administration is taking a hard line on the North Korean issue, but the massive notification of the ROK-US joint training put Korea in a passive position. “We will make it more important, and we will be more inclined to China in dealing with the Korean peninsula problem.”
He said, “We recognize that Blincoln-Austin’s trip to Asia cannot challenge China’s rise alone. It needs the help of an old alliance.” did.
The media said that the US and Japan’s release of a joint statement with the main content of’China checks’ would bring about regional conflict.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijen said, “The US and Japan are sticking to the Cold War mindset and are trying to create a circle to deter China. Their actions will only bring confusion, and even regional conflicts.” .
Ryu Yao-dong, director of the Institute of Japanese Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explained, “The point that Japan has not touched on Hong Kong and Xinjiang is aimed at encouraging a deliberate (US-China) dispute between the two countries.”
Director Rue also shows that Japan’s move makes it hard to believe that it wants to improve relations with China, and that he does not take relations with China very seriously. As Japan continues to pursue the United States, relations will worsen.
