It is reported that the NATO Summit will be held in Madrid on June 29, and it is worth noting that this meeting also invited four Asia-Pacific countries, namely Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand; South Korean President Yin Xiyue also arrived in South Korea recently. This time The trip to Madrid is Yoon Seok-yue's first foreign visit since taking office, and it is also the first time a South Korean president has participated in a NATO summit.
Regarding Yin Xiyue's arrival this time, the US think tank analyzed that his attendance at the NATO summit is to expand South Korea's role in regional affairs and international affairs, and hopes to jointly strengthen the desire to "based on international order" with NATO.
However, Yin Xiyue's trip did not go smoothly. The two meetings that were originally planned to be held on the 28th were "put away", and some of his remarks during the interview were also criticized domestically. It is reported that he was flying to During the trip to Spain, when asked about his attitude toward China in an interview with accompanying reporters, he said that he would "keep a distance from China." He was warned by members of the South Korean opposition party, saying that his so-called decision to "keep a distance from China" would offend China. , resulting in a huge blow to the economy and even the possibility of a "new cold war".
It is reported that Yin Xiyue will meet with Finnish Prime Minister Niinisto on the 28th, but it was canceled for some reasons. The meeting with the NATO Secretary General that day was also forced to cancel. Some media reports said that Yin Xiyue was on the same day. We waited for more than 30 minutes at the meeting place, and the reason for the cancellation of the meeting may be due to the fact that NATO Finland joined NATO. On that day, NATO held long negotiations with Turkey and FinlandSweden on this matter.
This matter has also been criticized by Korean netizens, saying that Yin Xiyue and his wife spent the hard-earned money of Korean people to travel to Europe, and then participated in a NATO summit that had nothing to do with South Korea. If Yin Xiyue is really important, then the NATO Secretary The president will definitely meet him.
After Yin Xiyue came to power, China-South Korea relations also attracted much attention, because he had a very tough attitude towards China during the election campaign, and after he officially came to power, he not only demanded the redeployment of " THAAD ", but also negotiated with NATO Gou Lian, China has already spoken out before, prohibiting NATO from extending its tentacles to the Asia-Pacific. South Korean officials are also "inspiring", saying that the South Korean president's participation in the NATO summit will not be anti-Russian or anti-China, and the main purpose is to protect national security.
China will definitely not believe South Korea’s explanation, and South Korea does not have three hundred taels of silver here. At present, South Korea should be testing the reactions of neighboring countries to judge whether to integrate into the "Asian Mini-NATO". If South Korea has been close to the United States and thus lost its diplomatic independence. Sino-South Korean relations will also become complicated because of this, and the final consequences will only be borne by South Korea alone.
If South Korea really connects with NATO, it will no longer have the decision-making initiative in many aspects, and it will inevitably stand with NATO in many aspects. This can also be seen from other NATO member states. Yin Xiyue should What is clear is that whether it deploys THAAD or moves closer to NATO, it will have a devastating blow to China-South Korea relations. By then, South Korea's economic development will encounter big problems, and domestic people's dissatisfaction with the government will also rise rapidly.
As an important country in East Asia, South Korea's series of actions are causing Asia to face new security threats. Neighboring countries will not sit idly by. Before this, Sino-South Korean relations were cold due to the THAAD issue. Yin Xiyue now has a tendency to repeat the same mistakes. The South Korean people do not want history to repeat itself. It is worth noting that according to South Korea's latest polls, the negative ratings of Yin Xiyue, who has been in power for more than a month, have exceeded the positive ratings. If he insists on moving closer to the United States, the previous pro-US president will It will serve as a lesson for others.
According to relevant sources, the leaders of the United States, Japan and South Korea will meet this time and talk about promoting NATO's expansion in the Asia-Pacific. The person also emphasized that the United States' alliances in the Asia-Pacific region are mainly bilateral, and it hopes to integrate these alliances. And promote smaller multilateral mechanisms, so it starts with Japan and South Korea. In addition, Yin Xiyue will also meet with the leaders of nine NATO countries to discuss issues such as security chip supply chains, nuclear reactor exports, and weapons.
Korean media pointed out that the economic recovery momentum in South Korea is now slowing down. For Yin Xiyue, economic problems are the biggest challenge. Under this situation, if Yin Xiyue continues to pose a threat to the Asia-Pacific and provoke China, he will surely pay a heavy price. cost.
