Maybe it’s because China is a country that doesn’t like joint statements (or maybe it’s because they don’t want to be questioned by foreign reporters).
There was no joint statement this time either.
Looking at the director’s briefing, it was agreed that the leaders of the two countries meet frequently. 14 mou’s for economic cooperation in various fields were signed, and there was also a signature to donate Chinese relics collected by Mr. Gansong.
The issue of West Sea structures and illegal fishing boats were also on the table, of course, and we hope that China will take action to resolve these issues without major problems and that discussions will continue, so we hope that China will stop offending us.
Also, I don’t know if something was done behind closed doors about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, but because it was a sensitive security issue, he couldn’t talk about it in a briefing and only talked about peace, stability, resumption of dialogue, etc.
It is not easy to persuade neighboring countries to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
Doesn’t Trump have the nuance of tolerating nuclear weapons?
China and Russia don’t even want to talk about denuclearization because they need North Korea’s position as well.
Japan wants denuclearization, but it has a very irritating feeling.
Moreover, seeing how Venezuela and Iran are doing, I think Kim Jong-un will be even more reluctant to give up nuclear weapons.
Even though the President said that we must keep China and North Korea in check during the ROK-US summit, so China is sensitive from then on, but we reassure China that we are only preparing for North Korea.
The easing of the Korean ban was also an important point, but the news that entertainment companies can be happy about is that there is no progress (just looking at entertainment stock prices), and the government is cautious, so it does not look like the situation will improve immediately. It seems like they are taking a step-by-step approach.
Concerts and content distribution need to be resolved, but it doesn’t seem to be resolved yet.
The government’s position is that this should be discussed over a longer period of time.
China is a very difficult country.
However, entertainment officials advise that it is important to diversify and expand profits rather than relying only on Asian profits as in the past (although they are still doing well).
Meanwhile, it is ironic that Shinsegae followed suit and joined hands with Ali and signed an MOU like that.
In addition, as I mentioned earlier, there are panda rental agreements and baduk and soccer exchanges. There is no problem with baduk exchanges, but I would like to be more cautious about pandas and soccer. Panda diplomacy is also not good for both humans and animals because China takes money and sends pandas out for rent, and if they get used to it, they have to leave.
As for soccer, you know how tough Chinese soccer is, so I think it’s right not to play meaningless evaluation matches. It’s not a good match for the Asian Cup either.
Lastly, if we look at the nature of China’s approach to this meeting,
Because of Trump’s reckless hegemony and the conflict with Japan, I get the feeling that they are trying to make us more of an ally in terms of security. In reality, rather than giving in to everything South Korea wants and bringing security and economic benefits, they seem to be trying to put unspoken pressure and drag us in by telling us to keep in line with their political and diplomatic situation.
We’ll take care of it on our own, so we don’t want to put any strange pressure on us.
Talking about the past history of Korea and China being harmed by Japan also seems to be aimed at Japan, and peace in Northeast Asia also feels like a depiction of North Korea, the United States and Taiwan issues.
The government must have known how China would treat us in the current world situation. It is not a government that will be dragged into everything China wants, so I believe that we will act wisely between the United States, China, and Japan, secure all of our national interests, and do our best to ensure that we are not harmed while cooperating and keeping in check.
I’m going to Nara Prefecture, Japan next week, and it will probably be around 2 days and 1 night.
(The reason we have a little more Chinese schedule is to stop by the Provisional Government Building in Shanghai. This is because it is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Baekbeom Kim Gu.)
The Japanese media’s view of the Korea-China summit is that China’s goal is to widen the gap between Korea and Japan, which is probably correct.
(Even if we change our positions and go to Japan first, China will be watching closely and on guard.)
I think Japan will probably treat us very well in order to make us an ally, but we hope that we can extract all the benefits that can be extracted for the national interest without causing too much trouble, while considering the issues that have touched our hearts amidst the Sino-Japanese conflict.
Originally, we were only careful between the U.S. and China, but due to the conflict between China and Japan, we are now in a situation where we have to be careful between China and Japan as well.
