Korean Views of Korea-China Relations: Evolving Perceptions and Upcoming Challenges

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Twenty years after diplomatic normalization in 1992, Korea-China relations have become more interdependent, complex, and conflictridden.
In spite of ever-growing economic interactions, South Korea now views China as a source of concern with respect to its economy and security. The China–South Korean history controversy and the disillusionment in the midst of the Cheonan sinking and the Yeonpyeong Island shelling further contributed to the rise of such concern.
As the interactions grow in the future, South Korea and China will face challenges in seven areas: trade/commercial frictions, historical disputes, clashes of values and norms, North Korea’s nuclear weapons, the Korea-US alliance, territorial disputes, and Korean reunification.
