Global Times editorial… “The real winner is Washington”

[서울=뉴시스] Correspondent Kang Young-jin and Yu Ja-bi = China warned about the “Washington Declaration” adopted by both Korea and the United States, saying that “Korea is going the wrong way.”

On the 28th, the Global Times, the English version of China’s state-run Global Times, said in an editorial, “President Seok-Yeol Yoon wants to regain the nuclear umbrella from the United States, but this nuclear umbrella is unrealistic compared to the various gifts he has brought to the United States and the cost to South Korea’s interests. and will only bring new risks.”

The Global Times pointed out, “It is not only a performance report for the Korean people, but it is highly likely to trigger a new phase of tension on the Korean Peninsula.”

“It is full of irony to call it a ‘diplomatic achievement’ or a ‘victory of the Yoon regime’,” he added.

“The real winner is Washington,” the Global Times criticized, saying, “South Korea wanted to share nuclear weapons, but the United States did not slow down and South Korea had no say in nuclear decision-making.”

“Introducing US nuclear forces to the Korean Peninsula will give North Korea a strong impetus and further exacerbate the security dilemma on the Korean Peninsula,” he said. is profound,” he stressed.

The Global Times also said, “It is said to be a joint statement, but Korea is only a signatory.” “The joint statement once again mentioned ‘peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.’ Signing such a joint statement will inevitably undermine mutual trust with China. “he said.

The Global Times reported in a separate analysis article that “Chinese experts warned that the dispatch of US nuclear missile submarines to South Korea could trigger a new nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, and that the US and South Korean governments are responsible for what happens.”

The Global Times said, “If the US deploys nuclear weapons or nuclear submarines on the Korean Peninsula, there is a very high possibility that a new crisis will be triggered.” It cited the assertion of Liu Chao, a researcher at the Liaoning Provincial Academy of Social Sciences.

In addition, Wang Junsheng, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that if the United States sends nuclear weapons such as nuclear submarines to South Korea, it will accelerate North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile development and exacerbate tensions between the United States and China.

“It is unacceptable to send a nuclear submarine to a place very close to China, and if there is no opposition and retaliatory measures, we will send additional strategic weapons such as aircraft carriers and strategic bombers,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Global Times argued that President Yoon Seok-yeol invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit Korea in relation to the Taiwan issue mentioned in the Washington Declaration between Korea and the United States.

In addition, he threatened that President Yoon Seok-yeol would not be able to compensate for the price he had to pay in various fields such as economy and trade with an aggressive policy toward the public, saying that the amount of investment received by President Yoon Seok-yeol was only 5.9 billion dollars during his visit to the United States.
