Distrust and unease loom as South Koreans grow wary of China’s clout​

  • The topic of relations with China, a top trading partner and powerful neighbour, remains a sensitive one among South Korean industry and government officials

But there is a key difference. Unlike in Washington, Seoul still seems reluctant to push back against Beijing too hard, making it unclear just how much the sharply negative shift in public opinion towards China will translate to policy.

Most of the industry and government officials interviewed for this article asked that their names not be used so they could speak freely about the highly sensitive topic of relations with China.

They made clear that the distrust towards Beijing is real, but it is fused with another feeling: worry. Specifically, concern about Chinese retaliatory punishment, which is something Beijing has already shown a willingness to impose on smaller countries, including South Korea, that try to challenge its line in almost any way.

The person added that if the US did not defend Taiwan, it might be a sign that it would also not defend South Korea from a North Korean attack. “We probably take for granted that if China attacks Taiwan, the US will engage,” the official said.

Beyond geopolitics, there is a sense in South Korea that Xi Jinping has little respect for his neighbour, viewing it almost as an imperial vassal state rather than a fellow nation among equals.

Observers are quick to point out that the last South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, visited China twice, but Xi never once stepped foot in South Korea during Moon’s five-year term. His only visit as Chinese leader was in 2014; he travelled to North Korea in 2019.

China should really consider conducting more test flights of H-20 during Pelosi's expected visit to Taiwan to show the Pentagon and White House that Beijing means real business.

Guess I'm just too aggressive a person, because I would have suggested shooting down Pelosi's plane. I mean, I'm done with all this sabre-rattling from USA. Absolute snakes.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration is investigating Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei over concerns that U.S. cell towers fitted with its gear could capture sensitive information from military bases and missile silos that the company could then transmit to China, two people familiar with the matter said.

Authorities are concerned Huawei could obtain sensitive data on military drills and the readiness status of bases and personnel via the equipment, one of the people said, requesting anonymity because the investigation is confidential and involves national security.

The previously unreported probe was opened by the Commerce Department shortly after Joe Biden took office early last year, the sources said, following the implementation of rules to flesh out a May 2019 executive order that gave the agency the investigative authority.

The radicalization of Korean folk is far beyond imagination.Based on inexplicable self-confidence, netizens in Japan and South Korea always feel that they can defeat the Chinese easily (with the help of Americans).
The formation of this self-confidence is realized by the media using various lens effects, site selection and theme selection to show China.

Koreans' infatuation with "great power status" is extremely morbid.However, I still don't understand why they choose to focus on the promotion of "South Korea is the origin of earth civilization".

Quoting one of the sentences:

I guess they have forgotten about Biden "no-look-handshaking" their president Yoon in Madrid just last month.
