South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is visiting China for four days, his first trip since taking office, aiming to deepen ties with Beijing. The visit occurs amidst rising tensions between China and Japan over Taiwan. Lee will meet with President Xi Jinping, emphasizing South Korea's respect for the One-China policy and mutual respect in bilateral relations. This follows recent Chinese military drills around Taiwan and statements from Japan's Prime Minister regarding potential involvement in cross-strait conflicts.
