Priorities of the Lee Jae Myung Administration’s

Diplomacy with China

Dong Ryul Lee, Chair of EAI’s China Research Center and Professor at Dongduk Women's University, analyzes the priorities that the Lee Jae Myung administration should set in its China policy. Professor Lee suggests that the government restore strategic communication between South Korea and China and realistically readjust expectations of China's role in the North Korean nuclear issue. Additionally, the author argues that while restoring civilian exchanges, South Korea needs to adopt a prudent and phased approach to improve South Korea-China relations over the medium to long term.
