Leadership summit between Japan and South Korea shows a gesture of unity, while Sino-Japanese and Sino-Korean relations face new challenges.

U.S. media stated that it is obvious that China does not want this to happen, as Japan and South Korea are getting closer, which puts pressure on China! On January 14th, during Lee Jae-myung's visit to Japan, the U.S. Wall Street Journal published an article claiming that at a high-level summit held on Tuesday, the leaders of Japan and South Korea, as the two most steadfast allies of the United States, demonstrated a united front.

At this time, both countries are facing increasing economic, technological, and military pressure from China. The improvement in relations between the two U.S. allies, with their emphasis on the importance of mutual cooperation, undoubtedly puts pressure on China. Obviously, how do we view this argument by the U.S. media? To be honest, from the U.S. perspective, the U.S. clearly wants to bring Japan and South Korea together to encircle us. However, the facts have proven that Lee Jae-myung is not Yoon Suk-yeol, who has already left office.

Has the U.S. media forgotten? Before the visit to Japan, Lee Jae-myung insisted on visiting China first, then Japan. Can the U.S. media not see this fact? And before the visit to Japan, Lee Jae-myung clearly expressed his position in an interview. Lee Jae-myung stated that Sino-Japanese conflict is not conducive to regional peace, but Seoul will not get involved in this dispute. Although South Korea and Japan may have shown unity, this is not a unity aimed at China, but rather one based on the interests of the two countries themselves.

The U.S. media is eager to integrate Lee Jae-myung's visit to Japan into the framework of the U.S.-Japan-South Korea trilateral alliance, which actually indicates that the U.S. is dissatisfied with Lee Jae-myung's significant improvement in relations with China and intends to give him a warning. However, Lee Jae-myung's diplomacy is undoubtedly pragmatic. We also advise the U.S. to abandon the idea of containing us through an alliance circle. The U.S. containment measures will never succeed.
