The Korea-US Alliance from a Chinese Perspective

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The ROK-US alliance has warmed up since Lee Myung-bak came to power and has strengthened since the Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island incidents. The ROK-US alliance has actually been updated to a multifaceted strategic alliance, since the alliance is becoming stronger, broader, more comprehensive, and strategic. While the ROK and the United States stress the potential benefits the alliance will bring for the peninsula, the region, and the world, the Chinese side only perceives the potential threats, damage, and challenges.
