SUMMARY:Is it Wise to Push South Korea Toward China-Containment?
DESCRIPTION:In April\, the Biden administration released its Indo-Pacific s
 trategy in which countering China featured prominently. In May\, South Kor
 eans elected a new president\, Yoon Suk Yeol\, who has promised to be toug
 her on Beijing. How should the United States approach South Korea on the i
 ssue of China?  Based on his campaign rhetoric\, Washington expects Presid
 ent Yoon to be more sympathetic to the U.S. position on China compared wit
 h his progressive predecessor\, Moon Jae-in. Yet President Yoon will face 
 major constraints in moving toward a more confrontational China policy\, a
 s South Korean political elites differ substantially on how best to deal w
 ith a more assertive China amid growing Sino–U.S. competition. In Quincy
  Brief\, “The Folly of Pushing South Korea Toward a China Containment St
 rategy\,” Jessica J. Lee and Sarang Shidore explained why pushing South 
 Korea toward China-containment could undermine American interests in the r
 egion.   To explore these issues and the Brief in greater depth\, particu
 larly in light of President Biden’s recent visit to South Korea and Secr
 etary Blinken’s speech on China\, the Quincy Institute will host a panel
  discussion featuring Joon Hyung Kim\, Professor at Handong Global Univer
 sity and former Chancellor of Korea National Diplomatic Academy\; Andrew Y
 eo\, senior fellow and the SK-Korea Foundation Chair in Korea Studies at B
 rookings Institution’s Center for East Asia Policy Studies\; and Jessica
  J. Lee\, senior research fellow in the East Asia program at the Quincy In
 stitute. QI’s Director of Studies Sarang Shidore will moderate the conve
 rsation.
