At the China Expo, Africa and South America were attacked for being ‘anti-Busan’ and Yoon Seok-yeol’s ‘bias toward the US and Japan’

At the China Expo, Africa and South America were attacked for being ‘anti-Busan’ and Yoon Seok-yeol’s ‘bias toward the US and Japan.’

 

‘The Diplomat’ pointed out that China attacked the Yoon Seok-yeol regime’s ‘US-Japan-biased diplomacy’ by ‘opposing Busan’ to African and South American countries in the Expo election.
Diplomat, a diplomatic magazine, commented on Korea's failure at Expo on the 4th, saying, "The conflict between President Yoon and China has alienated the African region, where China is playing an increasingly important role," adding, "China is supporting some countries in Africa and Latin America." “There are suspicions of forcing the government to withdraw its support for Busan,” he said, publicly criticizing the “US-Japan-dependent arms trade diplomacy.”
In the title <South Korea's failure to compete for the World Expo triggers President Yoon's first apology>, the Diplomat said, "The Korean people are more concerned about the fact that this failure to host the event than the defeat of Busan itself is the result of complacency and wrong beliefs, just like President Yoon has been running the government so far." “I’m getting more angry about it,” he said.
Regarding President Yoon's US-Japan-biased Chinese 'value' diplomacy, 'Diplomat' said, "The conflict with China has alienated Africa, where China is playing an increasingly important role and is recognized as a positive force, and China has He pointed out, "We are suspected of forcing some South American countries to withdraw their support for Busan." Regarding the Diplomat's value ideology diplomatic strategy, "technology transfer and cooperation in areas such as climate change, fisheries, food security, and renewable energy." "The fate of the election depended on securing votes from developing countries, but Busan was promoted only in major Western cities, and Busan's unique charm as Korea's coastal economic center and vibrant resort was promoted," he said. “I failed to emphasize the atmosphere. Korean culture is not limited to K-pop,” he said.
The Diplomat said of President Yoon's 'global pivot diplomacy', "Rhetoric about values and promises of future cooperation have weight and importance in themselves, but apart from some meetings and arms deals, his diplomatic interests are mostly focused on the United States and Japan. “It is focused on,” he said, publicly pointing out the U.S.-Japan dependency on arms trade diplomacy in Eastern Europe.
The diplomat continued, "Most people expected Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) to be chosen, and news and media articles also saw Riyadh as advantageous. However, only the Korean government and media were telling a completely different story, and Koreans “I believed this. I was caught up in group bias and confirmation bias,” he said.
The Diplomat specifically said, "According to President Yoon Seok-yeol, he met with 96 countries to host the Busan Expo, and the government spent more than 400 million dollars to promote Busan's bid. The entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs focused on promoting Busan, and ministers and officials traveled around the world. "The First Lady personally designed and produced Busan Expo merchandise and wore it at the summit. However, this Expo diplomacy went completely astray," he said.

Regarding President Yoon's slogan of 'global pivotal diplomacy', "His diplomatic interest was somewhat famous. “Except for personnel affairs, meetings, and arms deals, most of them are focused on the United States and Japan,” he said, adding, “Experts have long explained that his diplomacy is not inclusive and is actually bringing about isolation.”

In a commemorative speech at the National Diplomatic Academy on September 1, President Yoon said, “Communist totalitarian forces, their opportunistic followers, and anti-state forces are inciting anti-Japanese sentiment, and the Korea-US-Japan cooperation system derived from Camp David is harming the Republic of Korea and its people. “We are misleading people into thinking they will put us in danger,” he said. “We are building a solid cooperation network in security, economic information, and cutting-edge technology with countries that share the universal values of freedom, human rights, and the rule of law and countries that respect the international order based on rules.” “It has to be done,” he said.

In the Korea-U.S.-Japan system, the United States did not support Korea from the beginning, and Japan initially went from 'supporting Saudi Arabia' to 'switching to support Busan' just before the vote when South Korea succeeded in holding diplomatic talks between Korea, China and Japan in Busan, but withdrew it when the three-party talks collapsed.
Britain, a member of the Anglo-American liberal Anglo-Saxon conservative alliance, also stuck to its 'support for Saudi Arabia' during President Yoon's two visits, and France continued to 'support Saudi Arabia' openly from the beginning.
Regarding Polish arms exports, “The Polish government announced on the 4th that the Polish Armed Forces Agency signed an export contract with Hanwha Aerospace for 152 guns, including 6 K9A1s and 146 K9PLs, through its website on the 1st,” he said. “KB Kookmin, Shinhan, It is reported that the five major banks, including Hana, Woori, and NH Nonghyup, are considering a joint loan for the second contract for Polish defense industry exports and are providing advance support of $2.7 billion (3.5 trillion won). “It is an amount commensurate with the size of the K9 self-propelled howitzer export performance contract,” News 1 reported on the 4th.
The issue of the second performance contract negotiations with Poland is the financial support for Korea's arms trade, which the Polish government requested from Korea, and the Export-Import Bank of Korea has already exhausted 15 trillion won of its equity capital in long-term low-interest loans and long-term installment repayment financial support. It appears that major commercial banks have announced additional support.
The Chosun Ilbo said, “Hanwha Aerospace signed a ‘second export contract’ with Poland for K9 self-propelled howitzers worth 3.4 trillion won. However, as the issue of financial support from the Export-Import Bank (Mercury) to importing countries is still not resolved, this contract was limited to only one-third of the originally expected export volume,” he said. “The industry said, ‘For a smooth contract for the remaining volume, the Mercury He argued, “There is an urgent need to amend the Mercury Act to expand this financial support.” It was reported on the 5th.
