Relación general
0The relationship is anchored by extensive economic exchange, a bilateral free trade agreement, and sustained diplomatic engagement. Those cooperative foundations are counterbalanced by China’s opposition to South Korea’s THAAD deployment, the resulting economic pressure, and broader disagreements involving North Korea and regional security. The combination supports a mixed assessment rather than a close partnership or sustained adversarial relationship.
