The APEC and G20 summits in South America and the possibility of a Korea-China summit are also open.

Following the recent visa waiver, China has been steadily sending signs of restoring relations by appointing a heavy figure to the ambassador to Korea, which had been vacant.

Beijing correspondent Kang Jeong-gyu reports on the background.

Chinese President Xi Jinping flew to South America to attend the APEC and G20 summits.

A final reunion with U.S. President Joe Biden, who will retire in January next year, is expected.

[Jake Sullivan / National Security Adviser: This is the third face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since Biden took office and the last meeting as president.]

The possibility of a Korea-China summit is also ripe.

If it is done, it will be the first time in two years since November 2022.

The Chinese ambassador to Korea, who had been vacant for four months, was also appointed.

Diving As China's deputy representative to the United Nations, he is considered heavier than his predecessor, Xing Haiming.

He has not had much relationship with the Korean Peninsula, but it is a glimpse that takes into account the fact that former Ambassador Singh, who is fluent in Korean, created a "sulhwa."

It is in the same vein that the unilateral visa waiver for our people was announced earlier.

[Moon Il-hyun / Professor of Chinese Political Science University] It seems that China is willing to give a warning to North Korea, which is rapidly approaching Russia recently, and highlights its unilateral goodwill toward South Korea.]

In September, they agreed with Japan to gradually resume imports of seafood, which had been banned since the release of contaminated water from nuclear power plants.

In October, he closed the border dispute with India and held a summit for the first time in five years.

Ahead of the launch of Trump's second term in office, where a large number of hard-liners are stationed, China's efforts to diplomacy with neighboring countries opened up an opportunity for the recovery of Korea-China relations to accelerate.
