The strengthened security cooperation between South Korea, the United States, and Japan, as well as the close relationship between North Korea and Russia, also acts as a variable for China.

China and Russia announced that they are maintaining the best relationship in history with Putin's visit to China, but Professor Kim said, "If you look at the route of Putin's overseas trips, you can see Russia's true intentions."

The countries that Putin visited, including North Korea, Vietnam, and India, are all allies of China but are wary of China, and are countries capable of opposing China with force.

As strategic competition between the United States and China intensifies, what is China’s intention?

Professor Kim said, “It appears that China will prefer Harris instead of Trump, who is likely to enter an unpredictable competition.”

In a complex international situation that changes in real time, Korea's major foreign policy agendas seem to change with the change of government. In response to a sharp question from audience member Kim Sam-sik, who asked about the direction in which the Republic of Korea's diplomacy should move in this difficult situation, Professor Kim answered the question of the direction for peace. He emphasized the importance of foreign policy and expressed regret about domestic politics, where the fate of a nation tends to be decided by a few with partisan views.
