This policy document signifies the Yoon administration\u2019s strategic pivot, prioritizing Seoul\u2019s relationship with Tokyo over Beijing, representing a marked departure from the previous Moon Jae-in administration\u2019s approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tensions between South Korea and China have heightened recently, underlined by media <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2023\/06\/china-signals-hardened-stance-amid-four-nos-policy-speculations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> alleging that Liu Jinsong, an official from China\u2019s foreign ministry, presented Beijing\u2019s \u201cFour Nos\u201d policy during his visit to Seoul. One of these \u201cNos\u201d reportedly contained a veiled warning that China would not allow South Korea to play a lead role in North Korea affairs if differences between Seoul and Beijing persist. However, a senior official from South Korea\u2019s presidential office refuted such allegations during a media briefing on Wednesday, June 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lee Jae-myung\u2019s meeting with Chinese Ambassador Xing Haiming and Kim Gi-hyeon\u2019s meeting with Japanese Ambassador Koichi Aiboshi highlight the politically divided landscape of South Korean foreign policy. This has the potential to raise questions among neighboring and partner nations regarding the consistency of South Korea\u2019s foreign policy approach, as its orientation could change based on election outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/domestic-politics\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Domestic Politics<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/inter-korean-foreign-relations\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Inter-Korean &amp; Foreign Relations<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main opposition Democratic Party (DP) leader Lee Jae-myung is scheduled to meet with Chinese Ambassador Xing Haiming on Thursday evening to deliberate on various matters of mutual interest, including Japan\u2019s anticipated discharge of radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant.
