Lee Jae-yong calls out China, Russia and North Korea, what's the problem, are you still not satisfied with China?

September 22 news, South Korean President Lee Jae-yong said that the world is splitting into two camps, and South Korea is at the most dangerous front line.

He also said that seeing China, Russia and North Korea being so close makes it hard for South Korea, while calling on the United States to restart nuclear talks with North Korea, proposing a temporary alternative of freezing nuclear weapons production.

The closeness between China, Russia and North Korea has been a reality for decades, but this is not an adversarial framework created by China, but rather initiated by the U.S., Japan and South Korea together.

China has never regarded South Korea as an opponent, nor has it ever pressured South Korea to take sides; instead, it has continuously called for China, Japan and South Korea to return to cooperation and for East Asia to avoid bloc confrontation.

Economically, China remains South Korea's largest trading partner; culturally, exchanges between the two countries have maintained a certain level of warmth despite ups and downs; in terms of security, although China expresses concern about the military cooperation between the U.S., Japan and South Korea, it has never directly threatened them.

In short, against the backdrop of the U.S.-North Korea standoff and Japan-South Korea tough stance, China's performance has been the most restrained and stable.

If Lee Jae-yong really wants to restore diplomatic balance, instead of blaming China for being close to North Korea, he should ask why the U.S. is pushing forward step by step, forcing South Korea into a corner.

China's position on the peninsula issue has always been clear: support for denuclearization, but opposing pressure and sanctions at will; support for dialogue between North and South Korea, but opposing military expansion under the name of North Korean nuclear issues.

This position is essentially not contradictory to Lee Jae-yong's strategy.

The problem with Lee Jae-yong is that he doesn't understand internal affairs, and he doesn't understand the U.S. either, but you can't say all the problems are others', that others are grouping up to target you.

The fact is, no one is grouping up, and there is no targeting; it is South Korea itself that has placed itself in this position.
