On the 24th it was announced that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit Japan shortly after visiting Korea early next month to hold a ‘Quadrilateral Security Dialogue’ meeting with Japan, Australia and India. ‘Quad’, an advisory body between major Asian countries and the United States, which share liberal democracy as its main value, is expected to strengthen the alliance’s solidarity against China and discuss countermeasure strategies at this meeting.
In our absence, the scenario in which the United States builds an alliance with members of the popular front is playing out in Japan. Diplomats say: “Korea’s emergence insisting only on a reserved position between the United States and China, but staying out of a member of a major multilateral council” and “Isn’t it going to be a loner among America’s allies?”
Minister Pompeo is expected to publish a public pressure message visiting Korea on a two-day, one-night schedule around the 7th of next month. He is expected to meet with his counterpart, Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa, and request active cooperation on anti-China policies, such as participation in the Huawei Boycott and Economic Prosperity Network (EPN). As the US policy of pressure on the masses continues to strengthen, requests for support and involvement in Korea intensify. According to diplomatic sources, the US is known to envision a “quad plus” system by including Korea and others in the “quad”. Earlier, late last month, China sent Yang Zetsu, a member of the Chinese Communist Party’s diplomatic policy bureau, to South Korea to indirectly convey the meaning of “ don’t support America. ”
Despite pressure from the United States, the government is taking an ambiguous position with the stance of “America for security and China for the economy.” A former senior diplomat said: “The government is increasingly distancing itself from the United States and Japan, for example, for reasons that are difficult to understand at the meeting of the defense ministers of Korea, the United States, and Japan on last month”. “On the other hand, China, North Korea and Russia are further strengthening solidarity.” .
