Lee hat jedoch mehrere Kommentare zu den Beziehungen zwischen Rok und Taiwan abgegeben, die darauf hinweisen, dass er mehr PRC-freundliche Richtlinien als Yoon übernehmen würde. In einem Kampagnenereignis von 2024 in der Provinz Chungcheong bemerkte er: „Was auch immer in der Taiwan -Straße passiert, was auch immer in den häuslichen Angelegenheiten Chinas und Taiwans passiert, was macht es uns wichtig?“
What does South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s Impeachment Mean for Taiwan?

Another way of wording it would be “ How much would the election of Lee Jae-myung positively impact Taiwan?“ ..but F that though huh, at the very base level they continue to manipulate you.
Most of what happens between China and Taiwan would be dominated by the US approach to it. If the US pursues a hardline on the issue, then it is unlikely that S Korea impacts it by much. If the US is seen to back away from Taiwanese support, S Korean support of Taiwan is not likely to make much of a difference to the Chinese actions.
To put it even more bluntly, S Korea likely will not risk severing ties with the US.
It is highly unlikely that Japan or South Korea would intervene militarily regardless of who is in power. Because,
1. Unlike the US which is a Pacific Ocean away, both countries are geographically too close to China so they take the most damage in a case of war, and
2. Both countries are democracies so you cant force them to fight a highly unpopular war. (For Japan it is perfectly legal for a self defense officer to refuse foreign deployment and for Korea the army is made up of conscripts)
A „proud NIMBY“ to the very end much like the other western democracies out there!
