Abstract

In July 2016, South Korea and the United States agreed to install the THAAD system in South Korea. This is a defense measure taken by South Korea because of North Korea's nuclear test activities that is considered as a threat. However, the action that is considered a step towards self-defense for South Korea is actually considered a threat to China. In results, China put sanction towards South Korea in form of an economic boycott. This study aims to analyze the strategies used by South Korea in improving diplomatic relations between South Korea and China after the boycott. In analyzing the case, the authors uses the concept of action-reaction patterns, security dilemma, and confidence building measures. Periodization of research was limited between 2016 – 2019, after China began to implement the economic boycott over South Korea until an agreement was reached to normalize relations between the two countries. The results of this study indicate that the enactment of economic boycotts carried out by China against South Korea has created severe impacts on South Korea's economy and security. CBMs was then implemented by South Korea as its strategy to normalize and improve relations, as well as build mutual trust between the two countries.
