Xinhua News Agency reported on the evening of August 24: "South Korean President Lee Jae-myung sent an envoy to visit China, South Korea's major trading partner, while he was in Washington to meet with US President Trump. The head of the delegation, former Speaker Park Byung-seok, met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and delivered a personal letter from President Lee Jae-myung to Chinese President Xi Jinping."
[Witty] Comment: On August 24, it was also the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. It seems that Lee Jae-myung sending Park Byung-seok, a non-current official, as an envoy to China is a temporary measure, but in reality, it shows indifference. South Korea wants to please both sides, wanting to rely closely on the United States, yet unwilling to give up China, an important trade partner. However, this approach of swinging between two sides is destined to fail. The United States will not favor it for such minor actions, and China will not accept such a lack of sincerity in foreign affairs. In the end, South Korea may end up pleasing neither side.
