SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - MAY 26: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol talks with Chinese Premier Li Qiang during a bilateral meeting at Presidential Office on May 26, 2024 in Seoul, South Korea. China on Monday urged Japan and South Korea to reject "protectionism" and uphold free trade as leaders of the countries met in a trilateral summit in Seoul.
"Under President Biden, there's been tremendous success in terms of bringing Seoul, Tokyo and Washington together through the Camp David principles," he said, adding China is wary of this cooperation and wants to drive a "wedge" between the U.S. South Korea and Japan.The summit comes at a time where regional security is at the forefront, amid nuclear and missile threats from North Korea.
"If there's going to be any kind of cooperation in stemming weapons proliferation from North Korea, it's not going to come from specifically working from China," but from cooperating with each other and with the United States, he added. China is a huge market for both countries to ignore, said Tobias Harris, deputy director of the Asia Program at German Marshall Fund of the United States.
