South Korea is facing one of the most difficult geopolitical moments in its history. Intensifying U.S.-China competition, mounting domestic pressures and the possibility of deepening cooperation between China, Russia and North Korea are all reshaping the country’s defence. Crisis Group’s Senior Consultant for the Korean Peninsula, Christopher Green explores how all these aspects are threatening South Korea’s security status quo, and why they are driving Seoul to expand its defence industry and strengthen its deterrence capabilities. This video is part of our “Asia’s Military Modernisation” series which examines the shifting security roles of the U.S. and China, and the evolving defence postures of Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia. #SouthKorea ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj015l-Gu66iB80-X_sr9tw And find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrisisGroup Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crisisgroup/ LinkedIn: https://be.linkedin.com/company/international-crisis-group And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crisisgroup/
