The timing of high-level meetings between South Korea and the United States has drawn attention, following Lee Jae-myung's visit to China, the U.S. has pressured South Korea.

America starts to hit Lee Jae-myung! Just after Lee Jae-myung's visit to China ended, Jim Risch, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, met with South Korean Ambassador Kang Kyung-hwa in the United States, and his remarks were very unfriendly to us! On January 8, Jim Risch wrote an article stating that he was happy to meet with South Korean Ambassador Kang Kyung-hwa. He claimed that in the face of China's growing "aggressiveness," the United States and South Korea remain firm partners in military and economic fields, including increasing opportunities for cooperation in civil nuclear technology.

We will continue to work with our regional partners to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region. It is obvious that the meeting between the United States and the South Korean ambassador is very unusual. The timing of this meeting coincided exactly with the end of Lee Jae-myung's visit to China, and such a timing arrangement could not possibly be a coincidence. In a way, the United States was waiting for Lee Jae-myung's visit to China to end, then rushed to meet with South Korean officials to express its position.

Lee Jae-myung's visit to China aimed at repairing relations with us. However, the United States clearly does not want this. The United States claims that China's "aggressiveness" is increasingly evident, which is obviously a warning to South Korea, telling it to be careful not to get too close to China. The United States emphasized that "the United States and South Korea are still firm partners in military and economic fields," which is a reminder to South Korea to stand with the United States.

Evidently, from the actions of the United States, it is clear that the United States absolutely does not want South Korea to get too close to us. Therefore, as soon as Sino-Korean relations made some progress, the United States came out to exert pressure and try to attract South Korea. Of course, facing the pressure from the United States, South Korea's attitude is very important. Will South Korea be unable to withstand the pressure from the United States, adjust its position and retreat; or will it demonstrate superb diplomatic skills and maintain a balance between China and the United States? This is something we should pay close attention to.
