China sent the highest-ranking person ever to the inauguration ceremony today (10th), is there any official position? 



<Reporter> 



Yes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China congratulated the launch of the Yun Seok-yeol government and said that it hopes for the continuous development of Korea-China relations. 



Let's hear it for yourself. 



[Zhao Lijian, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China: China hopes to work hand in hand with South Korea and advance the Sino-Korea strategic cooperative partnership to a new level continuously in line with the times.] At 



this inauguration ceremony, China will attend the inauguration ceremony, the highest level in history, Wang Wang, who is called President Xi Jinping's right-hand man. We dispatched Vice President Qishan. 



Vice President Wang said that President Xi Jinping wants President Yun Seok-yeol to visit China at a time convenient for both sides.



It is interpreted as trying to show that they value Korea-China relations.

As the Yun Seok-Yeol administration put the strengthening of the ROK-US alliance at the forefront, the atmosphere in which China is wary must be clear, how about it? 



<Reporter>



Yes, what China is most worried about is South Korea's participation in the siege of China by the United States and its allies. 



President Yoon Seok-yeol promised additional deployment of THAAD and gradual participation in the 'Quad', a security consultative body with China, during his candidacy.



For this reason, the state media representing the Chinese government's position is throwing a check. 



The Global Times, in an editorial, explicitly expressed caution, saying, "If South Korea-China relations become an accessory to Korea-US relations, it will inevitably harm Korea's interests." 



However, China is paying attention to the fact that the THAAD issue has been omitted from the national task of the transition committee, and there is an atmosphere of anticipation of Korea's balanced diplomacy. 



Right now, we are paying close attention to the outcome of the Korea-US summit to be held on the 21st.
