SUMMARY:The US Policy towards Korea, China, and Japan: Challenges and Prospects
DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. Jin Park Distinguished Chair Professor at 
 Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS); 
 Former Chairman, Foreign Affairs, Trade and National 
 Unification Committee, ROK National Assembly; 
 Chairman, Korean-American Association; 
 Chairman, Asia Future Institute \n
 \n
 Dr. Jin 
 Park, a renowned Korean scholar and politician, 
 will talk about the implications and prospects 
 of recent U.S. foreign policy initiatives 
 toward Northeast Asia including Korea, China 
 and Japan under the new Trump administration. 
 Korea and Japan, as key allies of the U.S. 
 sharing democracy and market economy, are 
 coping to digest the impact of America First 
 policy in terms of defense cost sharing and free 
 trade regime such as the Korea-U.S. FTA and 
 the TPP. The U.S. will have to deal with diverse 
 geopolitical and economic challenges in 
 Northeast Asia, particularly by the rise of 
 China, regional rivalry between China and Japan, 
 South Korea's alliance management with the 
 U.S. and, last but not least, North Korean 
 security threats. Meanwhile, the interplay of 
 domestic politics and changing dynamics of 
 trilateralism among the three countries in the 
 region will reversely influence the U.S. foreign 
 policy directions in the future.\n\n
