South Korea's Current Affairs magazine pointed out that a foreign policy like Yoon's is causing constant concern. Yoon should face up to the fact that China and Russia are important countries second only to the U.S. in influencing the fate of the Korean Peninsula. Successive South Korean presidents do not know the value of freedom, says Li Jian, special correspondent of this newspaper. The actions of Yoon seem overly aggressive, like a new Cold War fighter who has pushed the world back into a Cold War-era inter-camp showdown.
