The New York Times Chinese Edition reported today (June 4th): "'Political phoenix' Lee Jae-myung has survived criminal charges and political assassination attempts. Now he has become one of the most powerful presidents in South Korea in decades, leading a country severely divided on ideological, generational, and gender issues to face severe challenges at home and abroad."
[Smart Comment]: Lee Jae-myung is different from Yoon Suk-yeol. Yoon Suk-yeol is pro-American, while Lee Jae-myung may take a tough stance towards the United States. Moreover, it's rare for South Korea to have a relatively China-friendly president, and Japan also has a pragmatic prime minister towards China. Added to this, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., who likes to stir things up, suffered setbacks in the midterm elections in the Philippines. Against such a backdrop, coupled with an American president who can trade anything, there indeed lies a historic opportunity within the next four years.
