The reshuffle also included the replacement of one presidential secretary and the reassignment of four vice-ministerial positions.

For instance, U.S. outlined strict \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commerce.gov\/news\/press-releases\/2023\/09\/biden-harris-administration-announces-final-national-security\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guardrails<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d for recipients of the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act funding, which states that beneficiaries must not materially expand their semiconductor manufacturing capacity in designated \u201cforeign countries of concern\u201d for 10 years from the award date. Wang\u2019s role will likely involve devising strategies to mitigate the impact of these U.S. policies on South Korea\u2019s semiconductor industry while Seoul focuses on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/01\/south-koreas-foreign-minister-nominee-eyes-balanced-diplomacy-amid-tensions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">building trust<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wang is a renowned China expert, formerly a macro-financial analyst and the director of the SK China Economic Research Institute.
