미중 패권 갈등이 한반도 평화에 미치는 영향

The rise of China in the 21st century emerged as a force to break down the phenomenon that threatens the existing order in terms of the balance of power in the Northeast Asian region, and the emergence of China threatens peace through the power of the United States to envision the existing order and hegemony strategy in Northeast Asia. It appeared as an enemy. The realization of the “China Dream” proclaimed by China will inevitably lead to conflict with the US strategy for supremacy in Northeast Asia. The conflict for supremacy between the US and China in Northeast Asia appears in two main directions, and the first is the economic conflict. The US has been building economic cooperation with China so far, but has been pursuing a strategy of “decoupling” since 2019 to break away from economic closeness with China and promote economic separation. The US is now China’s high-tech industry. In addition to sanctions on Huawei, it is economically imposing sanctions on China by imposing sanctions on SMIC, a foundry company that is fostering as a key national industry in China. It is struggling with China over time. In particular, the Taiwan issue is related to the core interests of China. After the diplomatic relations between China and the United States were established, the United States has played a role in the mediator of the conflict from China against Taiwan in this region through the Taiwan Relations Act. Accordingly, tensions surrounding Taiwan are increasing by strengthening relations with Taiwan and projecting military power into the region. As a situation in Korea, the conflict for supremacy between the US and China in Northeast Asia is a burdensome situation in that it is divided into the Korean peninsula. In particular, if a long-term strategy is not devised for the reunification issue as well as the inter-Korean issue, in the issue of the US-China hegemony conflict, a major change can come in the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula. In terms of peace and unification on the Korean peninsula, as well as in the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, the issue of hegemony conflict between the United States and China, and the drive for unification on the Korean peninsula can be a factor of rapid geopolitical changes in countries in Northeast Asia. In the end, the journey for peace and reunification on the Korean Peninsula, diplomatic environment, and problem-solving process for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula are inevitably great challenges for us. Therefore, it can be said that Korea"s strategy is to form diverse networks based on the ROK-US alliance and maintain a flexible balanced relationship.
