Abstract

Korea and China to Mark 30-Year Diplomatic Ties in 2022. Over the past 30 years, Korea-China relations have developed rapidly, most notably in the area of trade, which has achieved great success, and China has become vital to South Korea’s economy, being its largest trading partner. South Korea elected the main conservative party’s Yoon Suk-yeol as its new president to serve the country for the next five years, after Presidential election, the China Policy of the Yoon Government will show their position and set the tone for diplomatic relations between the two countries from the standpoint of this administration. However, President Yoon remarked that negative views of China during and after the election. Therefore, this article analyzes the the trend of Yoon Government 's policy toward China and the U.S. through President Yoon’scommentsandstatements firstly. Second, this study is to provide an analysis of the critical factors that Yoon administration 's policy toward China, it includes, economic, the Korea-US alliance and North-South confrontation. And it also makes the observation that even though there are many factors in South Korea's China policy, but also the decisive factor is the international situation.In other words, The Korea-U.S. alliance, as a structural conflict between Korea and China, has determined that the Yoon administration 's policy toward China cannot escape the influence of the "Korea-U.S. alliance factor" . Third, This paper puts forward three different schemes “Balance between China and the U.S.”，“With United States to control China”，“With China to control the United States” for discussion. In conclusion, with the intensification of U.S.-China competition, the Yoon administration 's foreign policy is limited in choice. It is obvious that the Yoon administration attaches great importance to the U.S. in its foreign policy, and therefore it is most likely that the Yoon administration will choose the foreign policy of “With United States to control China” in the next five years. However, due to the South Korea's diplomatic dilemma, this paper argues that the Yoon administration will choose “Strategic containment, Tactical cooperation”as foreign policy toward China. In any case, the development potential of a country depends on its power, But no matter how you choose, "Power" is the basis for determining your own status and voice. Therefore, Enhancing comprehensive strength is the fundamental way for South Korea to expand its international living space.
