The relationship between China and the Republic of Korea will face new tests after the 18th National Congress of the CPC. Nevertheless, relations with China will remain crucial for the ROK, says an article in The Korea Herald. Excerpts:
Despite ever-growing economic interdependence, the ROK and China remain discordant over history, territory, fishing and regional security issues.
With China about to usher in a new leadership, the two governments are expected to continue to try containing the volatile issues from flaring up.
On Nov 8, the CPC begins its biggest event in a decade: the selection of a new leadership. For the ROK, the rising global power is already one of its biggest trade, tourism and investment partners. For China, firmer ties with the ROK are vital for stabilizing the region, keeping the US and Japan in check and securing industrial technologies.
I’ve lived in China for quite a considerable time including my graduate school years, travelled and worked in a few cities and still choose my destination taking into consideration the density of smog or PM2.5 particulate matter in the region.
