南韓是東亞經濟、政治、軍事最重要國家之一。除了日本之外，南韓在東亞是美國最重要的盟友。1980年代末與1990年代初冷戰的結果讓，世界經濟、政治、軍事與安全結構改變了。這些冷戰結果之后的改變也包括南韓 而且全部東亞地區。1980年代末與1990年代初冷戰結果的改變讓，南韓與蘇聯(目前俄羅斯), 而且南韓與中華人民共和國(中國)建立外交關係。 最近二十五年中，南韓與中國不僅改善經濟、政治與外交關係, 而且中國成爲南韓主要的經濟貿易對象。此外，中國也成爲南韓主要的投資目的地。中韓經濟貿易關係的發展不僅是反應對中國經濟影響的上升，而且南韓企業在中國市場企求投資與貿易的機會。中韓關係的改善能考慮，爲了美國對南韓印象的平衡。不過，另一方面中韓經濟密切關係，而且美韓軍事密切關係對南韓是嚴重問題的原因。最近的例如是薩德問題(THAAD issue)，使中國決定了對南韓用經濟制裁。中國經濟壓力的方式是抵制南韓商品或者限制中國旅游到南韓。 總之，薩德問題(THAAD issue)是很清楚的例如目前南韓有嚴重的兩難，選美國或者中國。

South Korea is one of the most significant economic, political and military powers in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, in military and security dimension apart from Japan, South Korea is one of the most important allies of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. The end of Cold War in late 1980s and early 1990s significantly influenced world’s political, economic, military or security order, also in East Asia. In case of South Korea, the end of Cold War has given possibility to establishing bilateral relations with the Soviet Union, China. During recent quarter of century, South Korea significantly improved economic, as well as diplomatic and political relations with China. Furthermore, China has become South Korea’s main trade and economic partner, and also China has become main destination of South Korean investments. South Korea has developed trade and economic relations with China to respond on rising China or finding opportunities by South Korean enterprises in Chinese market. Moreover, improving relations between Seoul and Beijing can be considered as a balancing strong influences of the United States in South Korea. Nonetheless, on the other hand close economic ties with China and close military ties with the United States frequently put South Korea in dilemma. The recent issue of installation the American THAAD System in South Korea caused Chinese put strong economic pressure on Seoul by boycotting South Korean products or limit travelling to South Korea. Nonetheless, the THAAD issue is an clear example, South Korea nowadays is in dilemma, which side to choose the United States or China.
