Recently, the 25th ASEAN-China-Japan-South Korea (10+3) Leaders' Meeting was held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Leaders of ASEAN countries and leaders of China, Japan and South Korea attended the meeting. Leaders of countries discussed the current crisis and how to strengthen cooperation among all parties.
As the chairman of the China-Japan-South Korea Leaders' Work Conference this year, we are also the coordinator of "ASEAN 10+3". South Korean President Yoon Seo-young made an active speech. Yoon Seo-yue said that my country's international development society is currently facing multiple crises such as national food and energy security, and the cooperation between South Korea, China and Japan can also become more important and urgent in this research context.
Yin said that the three countries should jointly respond to these crises and challenges, and expressed their expectation to launch a tripartite cooperation mechanism. Previously, South Korea has been close to the United States and Japan, and many of them deliberately kept a distance from China because of the instigation of the United States.

South Korea's turn may be related to the recent U.S. inflation reduction bill, and South Korea is also one of the many victim allies. Recently, some countries, including South Korea, Japan and the EU, have successively submitted submissions to the United States, requiring the U.S. government to readjust the content of the inflation reduction bill, give companies in these countries the same treatment as American companies, or postpone the implementation of the bill for three years.
The Inflation Reduction Act of the United States was originally a solution to Biden's solution to reduce the inflation rate in the United States. It can also take into account the Biden administration's expectations for China's climate and environmental protection and development to provide clean energy, but some clauses make students from allies with economic and trade cooperation and economic relations with American society feel uncomfortable.
According to regulations, the US government will give a tax credit of $7,500 per car to domestic electric vehicle companies, which will be regarded as a disguised incentive to consumption and provide certain compensation to automobile companies. It can also promote the development of new energy vehicle companies in the United States.
is just one, which violates the interests of foreign car companies, because the working conditions for applying for tax credit in my country are also very strict. After multiple rounds of screening, only American local cultural enterprises were selected. Automobile companies in various countries were originally competing on the same track in a fair market, but the US government directly sent their own developing companies to the finish line.
In the past, the United States often set such trade barriers against China, but now the United States has pointed its finger at its allies, which is something South Korea certainly does not want. The South Korean government has expressed concerns and dissatisfaction to the United States many times, and has even been preparing to file a lawsuit with the WTO, but none of them have attracted the attention of the United States.
Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for South Korean companies to gain advantage in the hands of the United States. The EU, which has stronger size and strength, has negotiated with the United States for two rounds, and has not forced the US government to make concessions. It should be more difficult for South Korea to obtain a national exemption system. South Korea cannot see hope in American students, so naturally they can only find a breakthrough from one China.
China is South Korea's largest import and exporting country. China-South Korea trade cooperation has been on an upward trend in recent years, which shows the potential of China's production and consumption levels. On the other hand, this also reflects South Korea's increasing reliance on the Chinese market.
Due to the THAAD incident, Sino-South Korea relations have been at a low point. After South Korea's former President Moon Jae-in took office, he immediately took action to ease relations with China, while refusing to participate in the United States' Indo-Pacific strategy. In order to maintain such a good cooperative relationship, Yoon Seo-woo must adhere to a reasonable policy toward China.
Yun Hee-yue has been moving closer to the West since she came to power. The South Korean government has previously reached a cooperation with NATO and announced the establishment of a representative office in NATO, further deepening the relationship between South Korea and NATO. South Korea's move is tantamount to attracting wolves into the house. As an important regional military force, NATO has combat troops and deadly weapons that ordinary organizations do not have. Once expanded to the Asia-Pacific region, it will pose threats and hidden dangers to neighboring countries and be unfavorable to regional peace and stability.
Currently, NATO can already show a tendency to expand into the Asia-Pacific region.If South Korea insists on bringing wolves into the house, then China will also take effective measures to protect China's territorial security. I hope South Korea will not help the evil, otherwise it will only be themselves who will suffer serious damage to the development in the end.
