With South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment looking more likely, analysts say there is a higher chance of the main opposition party rising to power – and it could take a more “conciliatory approach” to China.
But they had mixed views on how Seoul’s foreign policy and its relations with Beijing – which are in a stalemate under Yoon – might unfold if a new leader is elected.
On Thursday, South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party (DP) said it would vote on Saturday for an impeachment motion against Yoon over his declaration of martial law on Tuesday.
