The world is undergoing profound transformation unprecedented in a century, and the strategic competition between China and the United States is an important part of it. Since the Trump administration, the US containment policy toward China has brought unprecedented risks and challenges to China-US relations and also trapped many third parties in a dilemma of strategic choice, among which the Republic of Korea (ROK) is a typical representative. As a US ally in the Asia-Pacific region and an important neighbor and strategic partner of China, the ROK depends on the US for immediate security and on China for trade. The China-US strategic competition has triggered a sense of crisis and heated debate in the ROK. A review of the ROK's perceptions of and response to China-US strategic competition will help grasp the direction of the ROK's foreign policy and facilitate the upgrading of China-ROK ties on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations.
