First of all, the cause of the Sadr issue.
To understand why we don't talk about the Sadr issue now, we first need to understand the cause of the Sadr issue. From July 2065438 to July 2006, the South Korean government announced the deployment of the American Sadr anti-missile system in its territory, which aroused strong opposition from southern China. China believes that the radar of Saad system can monitor China's military activities and pose a threat to China's national security. Therefore, China imposed a series of economic and cultural sanctions on South Korea, which led to a sharp deterioration of relations between the two countries.
Second, the impact of the Sadr issue.
The emergence of Sadr issue has an impact not only on China-ROK relations, but also on the security pattern of the whole East Asia. The Thaad system of the United States is designed to deal with North Korea's nuclear threat, but its deployment has aroused resentment from China and Russian countries. This antipathy further aggravates the tension in East Asia and complicates the security situation in the region.
Third, why not talk about Sadr now?
Although the Sadr issue once caused tension between China and South Korea, why not talk about the Sadr issue now? The main reasons are as follows:
1. Improvement of Sino-Korean relations
In recent years, China-ROK relations have gradually improved. Thanks to the joint efforts of the leaders of the two countries, the two sides have reached some understandings on the issue of Sadr, and cooperation in the fields of economy, trade and culture is gradually strengthening. Therefore, the issue of Sadr is no longer the main contradiction between China and South Korea, and the cooperation between the two countries has become the main theme.
2. The deployment of Sade system has been completed.
20 17 the south Korean government has deployed the sade system to xingzhou county in central south Korea. Although China strongly opposes this, the fact is irreversible. Therefore, it is meaningless to talk about the issue of Sadr now, and it is impossible to change the facts that have already happened.
3. Impact of the global epidemic
In 2020, the global outbreak of COVID-19 has a profound impact on the global economic and political structure. Under this circumstance, the focus of all countries has turned to epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery, and the issue of Sadr has naturally become a secondary issue.
