Recently, the United States has had frequent accidents in its communication with its allies South Korea. First, the so-called "chip four-party alliance" has not received a response from South Korea for a long time. The subsequent "Inflation Reduction Act" directly caused dissatisfaction in South Korea, saying that the United States has harmed its own interests and will appeal to it if necessary.
If these are all small things and do not directly make South Korea "break the defense", then the US media recently praised the political achievements of US Secretary of Commerce Raymond's call to intercept the investment of US$5 billion (about 7 trillion won) which can be said to be a sting in South Korea. For this reason, the mainstream Korean media also posted a message saying that the United States has robbed 5 billion of investment and has not even let allies go in order to maintain economic hegemony.
So after being defeated by the US "phone fraud", South Korea began retaliation.
According to Taiwan media reports, the South Korean Personal Intelligence Protection Committee held a plenary meeting to issue a fine of 100 billion won (about 70 million US dollars) to US companies Google and Meta (new name of Facebook ). At the same time, the two companies were required to be open and transparent when collecting information about users in other companies and give users the right to freely choose authorization.
It is worth mentioning that although the gap between 70 million and 5 billion is very large, this is already the largest punishment in South Korea for violating the Personal Investment Protection Law.
Obviously, South Korea is already unable to bear the act of the United States that has repeatedly damaged its interests, so it tries to retaliate against the United States by sanctioning US companies to express its opposition.
It can be seen that even the allies of the United States will be affected, and they will not be accepted, and eventually it will become a situation where dogs bite dogs.
You should know that as the president, South Korea is an ally of the "puppets" supported by the United States. What it does for the United States is not a little bit, it can be called "devoting all its efforts". However, even so, it was still "back-sting" by the United States, which is enough to show that the United States only cares about its own interests, and its allies are not important at all.
In terms of suppressing China, the South Korean government agreed to the United States to deploy the THAAD missile system at its own home, which continued to create trouble in the situation on the peninsula, resulting in a sharp deterioration of Sino-South Korea relations and a lot of economic cooperation between South Korea and China.
Under the influence of a series of factors, South Korea's economy has a trade deficit in trade, and the United States has also introduced the "Inflation Reduction Act" that has no effect other than harming the interests of various countries, causing greater harm to the South Korean economy.
Secondly, the "Chip Four-Party Alliance" built by the United States actually has no benefit to South Korea. Moreover, if it insists on asking South Korea to join its "small circle" and imposes sanctions on China, South Korea will still suffer losses, which is why it has not given a reply for a long time.
In addition, in order to deepen relations with the United States, South Korea has also strengthened its cooperation with NATO , and even spent more than a year joining NATO cybersecurity organizations, which have brought great risks to its own security.
says this because South Korea has not considered the vigilance of countries in the Asia-Pacific region towards NATO, especially China, North Korea and Russia.
As we all know, in order to disrupt the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and make the region its own pocket to curb China and Russia, the United States has been trying to copy NATO's model to the Asia-Pacific region and achieve "NATO Asia-Pacificization", but under the solemn vigilance of various countries, it cannot find an opportunity.
. South Korea and NATO strengthen cooperation are undoubtedly providing ideas and opportunities for the United States to achieve "NATO Asia-Pacificization". Then it will definitely be closely watched by countries in the Asia-Pacific region, and will also face the risk of being used by the United States as a springboard for confrontation and division in the Asia-Pacific region, and being countered by countries together, which will cause serious damage to South Korea's relations with its neighbors.
Moreover, once the United States really chooses to create conflicts in the Asia-Pacific through South Korea, South Korea will not only not even have the right to refuse, but may also become a "scapegoat". After all, as a nuclear-capable power and extremely "double standards", even if it is found that evidence of dominating the conflict, the punishment will be unpainful, and South Korea may become the target of venting its anger among countries.
At that time, Russia is very likely to teach South Korea a lesson. After all, its launch of a special military operation against Ukraine is to oppose NATO, and South Korea directly brought the influence of NATO's power to eastern Russia, purely asking for trouble.
As for China, it is certain that as long as the conflict burns to the peninsula, China will take all necessary measures to counter the situation to maintain regional stability. This is the bottom line that Zhang Jun, the permanent ambassador to the United Nations, has already identified.
So South Korea is loyal to the United States and is willing to have an unhappy relationship with its neighbors that should have established friendly partnerships. In the end, it may be "back-sting" by the United States and thrown away as an abandoned child. It is completely selling its own interests. Therefore, South Korea should reflect on how to choose its future, otherwise it will eventually put itself in a place of irreparable consequences.
