好奇這次美國是用甚麼好處換到韓國對台海表態的？
＂白宮國安會昨天下午就文在寅到訪舉辦背景簡報時透露，美韓領袖聯合聲明會與上個月的美日聯合聲明一樣，提到中國對台灣的動作，也將會提到整體區域安全及維護和平與穩定，強度上也不會比美日聯合聲明輕。資深官員說，美、日、韓都面臨相同挑戰，而這些挑戰就包括中國。＂
簡單一句話帶過～
「拜登總統和文在寅總統強調維持台海和平穩定的重要性。作為重視多元價值和個人自由的民主國家，無論是在國內外，我們都會以促進人權和法治為共同目的。」
聲明連結：
“ President Biden and President Moon emphasize the importance of preserving peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. As democracies that value pluralism and individual liberty, we share our intent to promote human rights and rule of law issues, both at home and abroad.”
南韓外長掃玻璃心ing~
"根據《韓聯社》報導，鄭義溶昨日在新聞節目中明確指出，台灣海峽和平穩定對於區域和平至關重要乃是客觀事實，美韓峰會後發布的聯合聲明是以籠統的措辭在此基礎上加以提及。
對於中國外交部怒批美韓聯合聲明不應損害包括中國在內的第三方的利益，鄭義溶強調，台灣海峽問題需用和平方式解決這點，與南韓面對的北韓問題完全相同，希望中國理解韓方立場。"
南韓外長意圖平衡翹翹板ing~
"就韓方是否與中方討論在韓美聯合聲明中提台灣問題一事，鄭義溶表示，韓中始終保持緊密溝通，韓方堅持在尊重一個中國原則的同時，推動韓美同盟關係和韓中戰略合作夥伴關係協調發展的立場。韓美聯合聲明充分體現出韓方的這些立場。"

這篇提出的參與印太、接觸拜登、發展南向等三帖任一都會被中國視為親美之舉啊~
"The enduring question for the Moon administration is how far it can go to develop its multilateral commitments without antagonizing China, while at the same time leveraging its middle power status in the Indo-Pacific."

沒想到南韓與寮國有這層關係...
"Laos’ second largest bilateral aid donor is South Korea, with South Korean aid increasing significantly over the past decade. As a member of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), Seoul adheres to the same lending standards as other OECD donors regarding, for example, funding transparency, avoidance of tied aid, and the separation of Official Development Assistance (ODA) from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Other Official Flows (OOFs). One point of distinction between South Korean aid and that of many other OECD donors has been financial support for urban development initiatives such as the beautification of Vientiane’s Mekong riverside Chao Anouvong Park."
