I might be totally wrong about this, but I thought that South Korea and Japan have taken steps to have friendlier relationships with China, while maintaining ties with the USA?

EDIT: for what it is worth, I just asked Gemini Flash 2 and ChatGPT this question and indeed according to these “sources” my perception seems correct.

South Korea is a US puppet regime, so those friendly relationships only extend as far as the US will allow it. The moment they need something, like say helping them paint China as a devious infectious entity bent on world domination, or that the DPRK is full of backwards nitwits who are dominated by an insane dictator, the South Korean government bends over backwards to comply.
