It's unexpected that South Korea is also indecisive! On January 24, according to reports from Taiwan, South Korea held the second EU-South Korea Strategic Dialogue, where South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-ah met with High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kallas. After the meeting, South Korea and the EU issued a statement stating that both sides reaffirmed the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and opposed any unilateral use of force or coercion to change the status quo in the South China Sea, believing that this would undermine regional stability.
Evidently, before his visit to China, Lee Jae-myung clearly stated on the Taiwan issue that South Korea has always respected the One-China principle, and will consistently uphold the position of respecting the One-China principle regarding the most core concern of China - the Taiwan issue. However, it's unexpected that after the meeting with Europe, South Korea also colluded with Europe, making remarks about our issues concerning Taiwan and the South China Sea. The peace in the Taiwan Strait is important, but what does it have to do with South Korea or Europe?
Why didn't South Korea firmly oppose the U.S. actions in Greenland during its meeting with Europe? Why didn't they condemn the aggression against Venezuela? Our internal affairs should not be the content of the South Korea-Europe talks, and the South Korea-Europe side has no right to comment on our internal affairs. South Korea following Europe's lead makes people doubt South Korea's stance, which is indecisive. The South China Sea should certainly be peaceful, but when the U.S. conducts provocative military exercises and incites countries in the region to escalate tensions, South Korea and Europe should also firmly oppose this. We hope that South Korea and Europe can do so.
