Chinese President Xi Jinping has extended an invitation to South Korean President Lee Jae Myung for a state visit to Beijing. This visit aims to enhance diplomatic relations between China and South Korea amidst regional uncertainties.

South Korea’s national security adviser, Wi Sung-lac, announced that President Lee will meet with President Xi on Monday in Beijing. Following this meeting, President Lee will travel to Shanghai to visit the historical site of South Korea’s provisional government during Japan's colonial period.

The discussions between the leaders are expected to cover areas of "practical cooperation," focusing on supply-chain investment, tourism, and responses to transnational crime.

The leaders may also address the modernization of the South Korea-US alliance. This alliance is considered by some as a counterbalance to China's influence in the Asia Pacific region.

Currently, approximately 28,500 US troops are stationed in South Korea to deter threats from North Korea. US officials have indicated plans to enhance the flexibility of these forces in addressing regional challenges.

President Lee’s visit is expected to emphasize cooperation in critical minerals, supply chains, and green industries. Nearly half of South Korea’s rare earth minerals, essential for semiconductor production, are sourced from China. Additionally, China is a significant market for South Korean chip exports.

Last month, officials from both nations agreed to work towards stable rare earth supplies. Potential collaborations in AI and advanced technologies are also anticipated during the visit.

Huawei Technologies plans to introduce its Ascend 950 AI chips in South Korea next year. This development offers an alternative to US-based Nvidia for Korean companies.

Another topic of interest may be the restrictions on K-pop content in China, which have been in place since 2017 following the THAAD missile defense system's deployment in South Korea. SM Entertainment’s chief executive will accompany President Lee’s business delegation, indicating potential discussions on this matter.
