19-year-old Guo Yi is one of some ninety-thousand Chinese students who have come to Korea to study. (Chinese) "I became interested in Korea's pop dance after watching Korean TV shows. So I decided to come and study here for at least 5 years‚ which I believe‚ will give me more opportunities in the field of K-pop dancing." (stand-up) Strengthening economic ties between Korea and China has led to an increase in people-to-people exchanges‚ with more people enjoying the other country's culture and studying their respective languages. The number of Chinese nationals studying in Korea has soared from just three in 1992 to 94-thousand as of last year. Of course‚ the number of Chinese tourists visiting Korea continues to rise‚ many drawn by the so-called Korean Wave‚ or Hallyu -- but also by Korean cosmetics and food. Last year more than 10 million tourists from the two countries visited each other. Since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1992‚ Korea and China have brought about a diplomatic renaissance unprecendented in speed or scope. Trade - the main driving force. Bilateral trade has increased almost 40-fold‚ from 6.3 billion U.S. dollars in 1992 to 227 billion in 2015. Since 2010‚ the two sides have been seeing their economic relationship mature even further extending to areas like finance and services‚ with growing foreign direct investment‚ currency swaps and direct trading in Korean won and China's RMB. In the span of 24 years‚ Korea and China have become closer in various ways. But as with any diplomatic partnership‚ not everything is rosy. As North Korea ratchets up tensions in the region‚ Seoul and Beijing face some challenges‚ such as narrowing their differences on how to resolve geopolitical security issues. The two have recently differed over South Korea's deployment of the U.S. THAAD missile defense system. "North Korea remains a shadow over the two countries strengthening ties. As the geopolitical security environment in Northeast Asia gets even more complicated‚ the two countries will have to use their soft power to address the challenges." The key will be how the two countries use their economic ties and public diplomacy to find a mutually beneficial solution. Kim Hyesung‚ Arirang News. Reporter : hs_kim@arirang.com
