What is Wen's attitude towards China in Yin and what is Wen's position in Yin and Sade
4hw.org: the presidential election in South Korea has come to an end. Wen zaiyin, the former leader of the largest opposition party of the common Democratic Party in South Korea, was elected president. Wen zaiyin's former government has always been opposed to the Sade issue. When Wen zaiyin was elected president of South Korea, where will Sade go? What are the attitudes and opinions of South Korean President Wen zaiyin towards China? Let's learn from Xiaobian.
It is understood that Wen zaiyin, 64, is a close friend of the late former President Roh moo Hyun for 30 years. He was once the core staff of the Roh moo Hyun government and served as the Chief Secretary of civil affairs and Secretary General of the president's office. He is known as "the shadow of Roh Moo Hyun" and "the second leader of Roh moo Hyun government".
During the period of Roh moo Hyun government, the diplomatic staff also joined in the campaign of Wen zaiyin. It is not hard to imagine that if Wen zaiyin is elected, his foreign policy may follow the Roh moo Hyun line.
Wen also proposed "four strong neighboring countries' cooperative diplomacy", advocating to expand global cooperation between South Korea and the United States on the basis of military alliance and free trade agreement, deepen multi strategic alliance, and plan to promote national defense and high-level strategic economic dialogue between South Korea and China, and strengthen strategic communication between the two countries on Peninsula affairs to consolidate relations.
According to the report, although Wen zaiyin agreed that the South Korea US alliance is the cornerstone of South Korea's diplomacy, he and his party questioned the US deployment of the THAAD anti missile system (THAAD) in South Korea, saying the move brought 'unnecessary tension' to the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
Wen argued for a suspension of Sade's deployment, leaving it up to the next government. He believed that at this stage when the former president was impeached and stepped down, it would be no good for the country to continue to discuss the Sade issue with the United States.
In an interview with the New York Times, Wen even said Seoul should learn to say 'no' to Washington. This statement may add variables for the us to accelerate the deployment of Sade in South Korea.
After U.S. President trump recently asked South Korea to pay $1 billion (about S $1.4 billion) for the Sade system, Wen said: 'deploying Sade is not only a national security issue, but also an economic issue. The deployment of Sade will create a huge financial burden, which is constitutionally subject to congressional approval. '
He also said: 'I don't understand why this matter should be pushed forward so quickly? Has park Geun hye's government signed a behind the scenes agreement with the United States that we don't know about? The government should be transparent and open to the signing of the agreement between South Korea and the United States. '
As for the relationship between South Korea and Japan, the issue of comfort women in the second world war has been stuck in the middle. Wen zaiyin's view is that solving the problem of comfort women should not continue to be the premise of cooperation between the two countries in various fields. South Korea will adopt a two track diplomatic line, that is, while continuing to ask Japan to recognize the history of the problem, it will also carry out exchanges and cooperation with Japan.
According to the agreement on comfort women signed by South Korea and Japan, Wen zaiyin said: 'the Japanese government has not publicly and clearly assumed its responsibilities, nor publicly apologized, so the agreement on comfort women signed by South Korea and Japan in 2015 is invalid, and the agreement on comfort women signed by park Geun hye's government must be abolished. The South Korean government needs to renegotiate and reach an agreement with Japan that is acceptable to both the comfort women and the people. '
