At this time, what is the confidence of South Korea to threaten China? Ukraine also had such thoughts in the past. The Western camp has more than 40 powerful allies, but ultimately all these countries are just cheerleaders, none of them participated. The only one being severely beaten was Ukraine itself.
South Korea's agreement to allow America's THAAD to be stationed in South Korea poses a great threat to China's strategic security. As long as they have not made any substantial changes, it is impossible for Chinese people to lift the restrictions on South Korea. South Korea is not afraid of offending China, so what does China have to fear about offending South Korea? As mentioned earlier, relying on a few unreliable allies to bluff is only a sign of South Korea's unease.
Professor Yan's viewpoint is just one person's opinion, and over the years, many of his statements have been proven wrong. We hope to maintain friendly relations with South Korea, which can be seen from the fact that we established diplomatic relations with South Korea despite strong dissatisfaction from allies at that time. However, South Korea should not expect China to sacrifice its own interests to please them, and this will become even less likely in the future. Relying on the United States or other countries to pressure China is a very wrong choice.
