re: #132 wheat-dogg

China is a powerful neighbor. Trump-merica is isolationist and an ocean away. Trump has abdicated the role of the USA as the leader of the free world. and is basically giving China carte blanche here. Under those circumstances, South Korea may have decided to take its chances with China.

Do you really think that after 65 years of relying on help from the U.S. and the west South Korea would make a move to work with China just because of 1+ year of Trump America?

That seems an awful large chance to take based on what may hopefully be a hiccup by America.
