In recent years, the bilateral and trilateral relations among China, Japan, and South Korea have soured. Japan and S. Korea continue to fight over historical issues and Japan and S. Korea face increasing security dilemmas in the midst of rising tensions between China and the United States. The annual trilateral summit has not occurred since 2019. The panel will critically assess the status of the bilateral and trilateral relations among China, Japan, and South Korea and discuss how they can improve their relations at this critical juncture.
