Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context South Korea politics - Yoon Seok-youl presidency and the relations with China.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Given that the Yoon administration is seeking to strengthen its alliance with the United States or bolster trilateral cooperation among Korea, the U.S. and Japan as the priority of its foreign policy direction, which is drastically different from the Moon Jae-in government's balanced diplomacy, the Chinese government wants the new Korean government to at least maintain its existing stance. The Wang [Wang Qishan] dispatch and his remarks reflect the Chinese government's concerns that the new Korean government may turn away from the balanced diplomacy and support the U.S.' anti-China alliance.”

“It seems that Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] is carrying out what he said during the presidential campaign - rebuilding the South Korea-U.S. alliance. There is no doubt that we should have the alliance as the basis of our diplomacy, but it is also true that we cannot rule out China given the intertwined relationship with North Korea and other neighboring countries. The current situation forces South Korea to choose a side between the U.S. and China, but we also have to think about risks associated with uncertainty surrounding the U.S. side.”

“It is obvious fact that the South Korea-U.S. alliance is the main pillar of Seoul's diplomacy, national security and economic policies. However, it is uncertain whether the Yoon administration [Yoon Suk-yeol] is pursuing policies leaning toward the U.S. after considering the costs of such policies. It seems that Yoon is engaging with the U.S. without contingency plans for North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and the side effects of joining the U.S. bandwagon. Regarding the Korean delegation to the U.S., Yoon has revealed his hand too quickly and even if he decides to send delegations to China, he needs to be more prudent about the consequences.”
