A Study On Park Geun-hye Administration's “Balancing Foreign Policy”

China is a large country in Northeast Asia and the United States is also a big country,which affects the area of Northeast Asia greatly.The relationship between China and the United States is related to the relationship between the major countries in Northeast Asia and the foreign policy of the major countries in Northeast Asia.How to deal with this relationship with China and the United States is essential for the Northeast Asian countries.South Korea,as one of the major countries in Northeast Asia,needs to examine the relations with China and the United States and handle relations with China and the United States properly.In the context of China's international status' rising and rapid economic development,the United States,in order to establish its international order under its control in the Asia-Pacific region,starts to curb China's rising and rebalance to Asia-Pacific,and North Korea's nuclear test exacerbated the peninsula tension,on the occasion of Park Geun-hye's coming into power,South Korea's economy hasn't recovered from the aftermath of the economic crisis,and its economy is still in a state of downturn,in addition,Roh Moo-hyun government and Lee Myung-bak government also continued to develop the relationship with China,under such a background,Park Geun-hye Administration carried out the "balancing foreign policy" to extend its diplomacy space and increase the flexibility of its diplomacy.The "balancing foreign policy" implemented by Park Geun-hye Administration is based on the theory of balance of power.On the basis of the contradictions between China and the United States and South Korea's contradictions with China and US,in order to expand its diplomatic space,South Korea constantly adjusted its relations with China and the United States,and cooperated with the two countries with emphasis in order to achieve maximum national interests and the “balancing foreign policy” is a policy or means.While deepening the ROK-US alliance,Park Geun-hye Administration also deepened and expanded its cooperation with China on politics and security.On the occasion of the 60 th anniversary of ROK-US alliance,South Korea and the United States deepened their alliance.The high-level visits between China and South Korea were frequent,and the two countries opened the national defense hotline,and opened dialogue between the head of China's State Council who is in charge of China's diplomacy and South Korea's national security chief and carried out the exchange of young officers,deepen the military education and training cooperation,and participated in China's 9·3 parade.South Korea and the United States and China's economy are further close.Some of the terms of South Korea and the United States FTA came into force,tariff barriers on agricultural products and other products reduced.Under great pressure,South Korea joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank,China and South Korea FTA was signed.In addition,South Korea and the United States also expanded cooperation in new areas,including the network,health,etc.,China and South Korea deepened the culture and folk exchanges.Through the development of diplomatic relations between China and the United States,to a certain extent,South Korea balanced the relationship with China and the United States.However,how to balance the relationship with China and the United States is still a problem for South Korea.As a result of North Korea's nuclear test,the issue of "Sade" deployed in South Korean was again raised,South Korea and the United States decided to deploy "Sade" and began to prepare,"Sade" problem is related to the structural contradictions between China and the United States,whether the next government will continue to implement "balancing foreign policy",all of these are challenges for the Park Geun-hye Administration's "balancing foreign policy".In view of these problems,the South Korean may examine its situation and may carry out the correct strategic judgment,and resolve the DPRK nuclear issue peacefully,and face up with the contradictions between China and the United States and the contradictions between South Korea and China and contradictions between South Korea and the United States.On the basis of this,the next administration may continue to implement the "balancing foreign policy",attaching importance to the ROK-US alliance while continuing to enrich Sino-ROK strategic partnership,balance the relationship with China and the United States properly and achieve maximum national interests.
