China और South Korea के रिश्ते सुधरने से क्यों हैं घबराए US और Japan? जानिए Saurabh Shahi से

Описание: This video by Saurabh Shahi, Editor of Foreign Affairs at The Red Mike, focuses on the growing relationship between China and South Korea, and analyses why this is a concern for the US and Japan.
The video includes the following segments:
• Introduction and Visit's Significance (0:00 - 1:07): The video begins by highlighting the significance of South Korean President Lee Myung's visit to China, which is the first in many years and the second meeting between the leaders of both countries within the last three months. This visit signals improving relations between the two nations and is causing concern for the US and Japan.
• Visit Details (1:09 - 1:54): The four-day visit included over 200 South Korean businessmen and industrialists, and several joint MoUs were signed. The highlight of the meeting was the interaction between the two heads of state, with a selfie taken by Lee with Xi Jinping going viral globally.
• Historical Relations (1:54 - 4:02): The video elaborates on the historical ties between China and Korea, particularly their shared fight against Japan during World War II. However, relations strained after the Korean Civil War, where China supported North Korea and the US supported South Korea. The deployment of the American THAAD missile defense battery in South Korea in 2017 further worsened relations.
• Current Political Landscape (4:02 - 6:46): Mr Shahi notes that relations deteriorated further during the tenure of the previous South Korean President, Yoon Suk-yeol. However, with Lee Myung's election on a peace platform, the situation has improved. While Lee has stated that the US remains South Korea's most important country, he has also expressed a desire to "de-hyphenate" relations with China from those with the US.
• Interests of China and South Korea (6:46 - 11:00):
• For China (6:49 - 7:41): Following recent comments by Japan regarding Taiwan, tensions have risen in the East China Sea. China seeks South Korea to be either aligned with it or at least neutral to maintain regional balance, which is strategically and militarily advantageous for China.
• For South Korea (7:42 - 11:00): South Korea is also wary of Japan's neo-militarism, especially given Japan's imperial past. China is South Korea's largest trading partner, and over 50% of critical minerals for South Korea's semiconductor industry come from China. South Korean companies aim to fill the void left by Japanese companies in the Chinese market. Additionally, South Korea seeks China's assistance in resuming talks with North Korea.
• Restoration of Relations and Challenges (11:00 - 13:50): South Korea has expressed its wish for a full restoration of diplomatic relations by 2026. However, an unofficial ban on Korean cultural products in China persists, and its lifting is not expected in the immediate future. Nevertheless, significant trade deals have been signed, such as promoting Korean products, especially cosmetics and toiletries, on Alibaba's international platform to tap into the vast Chinese market.
• Personal Rapport Between Leaders and US-Japan Concerns (13:50 - 18:34): A personal rapport between the two leaders was observed, exemplified by Xi Jinping gifting a Xiaomi phone to Lee and Lee posting a selfie with it. The US is uneasy about this rapprochement, having pressured South Korea into investments in the US that could undermine its own industries. Japan, which has never apologized for its past atrocities, is also concerned as it aimed to include South Korea in the Quad alliance against China.

The video concludes by stating that it remains to be seen in the coming weeks and months whether this relationship truly strengthens or reverts to its previous state.
