Everyone knows that China will travel to South Korea from October 30 to November 1 to attend the 32nd informal meeting of leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic and Economic Organization (APEC) and to make a state visit to South Korea.But South Korean President Li Keqiang may have great trouble, on October 29, US President Trump will travel to South Korea!According to the Associated Press, with the opening of the Asia-Pacific Economic and Economic Organization (APEC) summit, representatives of 21 member countries such as China, the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia and others came to South Korea.

Logically, this is something to be happy about, especially when China and the United States will hold a meeting in South Korea, and the whole world will pay close attention to it. However, Li Zai-ming is worried because Trump is very likely to force South Korea to cede land in person and let the land ownership of the US military bases in South Korea belong to the United States. Some experts said that once the United States obtains land, changes will occur on China's doorstep.

If you pay attention to the series of performance after Lee took office, while he has repeatedly stated that implementing a "practical diplomacy" based on national interests can be hit by the threat of the United States, Li's "practical diplomacy" strategy can not be sustained at all.

Although South Korea has previously promised to invest $350 billion in the United States, this is an oral agreement, but Lee Jae-myung seems to regret it now. According to this agreement, South Korea will set up a $350 billion investment fund in the United States, of which $150 billion will be used to help restore the American shipbuilding industry.

If you know the real data, you will know that Lee won¡¯t be able to fulfill his $35 billion commitment to invest in the United States at all. Because once this is done, South Korea¡¯s foreign currency will have little left, as of August this year, South Korea¡¯s foreign exchange reserves were $416.3 billion.

Li in Ming himself naturally knew this, unless he didn¡¯t want to continue as president. Li in Ming had a bigger problem compared to the $350 billion investment promise, and it was Trump¡¯s previously mentioned request for South Korea to cut off a U.S. military base in South Korea.

Lee visited the United States from August 24 to 26 this year, and when he was elected President of South Korea in June, he expressed his willingness to bear "humiliation" in the interests of the country, resulting in a word.

According to reports at the time, Li Zai-ming and Trump held talks for more than two hours, during which Trump hoped that South Korea would hand over the land ownership of the US military bases in South Korea to the United States, so that they could get rid of the so-called "lease." In fact, according to the provisions of the Status of Forces in South Korea Agreement signed in 1966, South Korea will provide free land to the United States for US military bases and will also share a large amount of the cost of maintaining the garrison, but land ownership still belongs to South Korea.

According to the latest data, at present, the US military has 62 military bases (including various military facilities) in South Korea, and Trump asked the ROK to increase the cost sharing of the US military stationed in South Korea by at least 3.8%. Among the many military bases, Pyeongtaek Base covers a total area of 14.67 square kilometers, making it the largest overseas military base of the United States.

If Lee accepted Trump¡¯s demands, it would mean a radical change in the legal status of the U.S. military in South Korea and could even violate the South Korean constitution and shake the national sovereignty foundation. According to information, U.S. military bases in 128 countries are currently rented, even in key allies such as Germany, Japan, the U.S. has not obtained ownership of the base land.

So what is Lee¡¯s attitude toward Trump¡¯s demands? Lee¡¯s thinking it¡¯s Trump joking. Lee¡¯s saying that the U.S. has used these bases and land free of charge. It¡¯s unacceptable if it really handed over land ownership to the U.S. Lee¡¯s also joked: ¡°If it really handed over ownership to the U.S., they would have to pay a huge amount of property tax¡ªbut we don¡¯t have the duty to be tax exempt.¡±

In fact, the Korean people are strongly worried about the U.S. military base in South Korea, especially the ecological environment around the base is seriously polluted, which makes the nearby people miserable. Almost every once in a while, Korean people will protest outside the U.S. military base.

The protests of the South Korean people are not groundless. Due to the frequent various military activities in the U.S. military base, in addition to storing a large amount of weapons and ammunition, explosives and toxic chemicals, a large amount of fuel is consumed every time military training is held. In addition, the power supply, air conditioning, heating, etc. inside the base facilities have caused great damage to the surrounding environment.

Another thing is that because of the limited territory of South Korea, the vast majority of these U.S. military bases in South Korea are located in densely populated capital circles, which pollution poses further threats to the life and health security of South Korean people.

South Korea paid money and land, which also caused a lot of pollution. Now the United States still asks South Korea to cede land, which makes Lee Jae-myung deeply ashamed, but he can't change anything. In the end, Lee Jae-myung can only sign with tears in his eyes. In the current responsible geopolitical environment, Lee Jae-myung's "practical diplomacy" is facing a huge test.

It can also be seen from this that Trump's asking price for South Korea is becoming more and more specific. From the original request for an increase in military spending to the current request for cession of military base land, it means that South Korea must choose to take sides. Currently, more than 28,000 U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea, which makes the Lee Jae-ming government no real autonomy at all.

Per aware of the impossibility of avoiding Trump's pressure, Lee in Ming recently revealed that South Korea plans to increase defense spending from 2.3% of the current GDP to 3.5%. This is an astonishing figure, Lee in Ming that is preparing for the situation on the Korean Peninsula to mutate.

Of course, Li Wei Ming is very clear about the situation in China and the United States, how South Korea will maintain economic and trade cooperation with China whileining relations with the U.S. allies, will be a huge challenge. Li Wei Wei Ming said frankly that the Korean-U.S. relationship, although put in the first place, can not "put China out of the door."
