Additionally, President Lee commented on the increase in exports to China, saying, "The primary objective of diplomacy is national interest, meaning national development and improvements to the quality of life for our people." President Lee explained, "While the South Korea-U.S. alliance is most important in diplomacy, managing our relationship with China is also crucial. For Korea, an open trading nation, exports are the most important factor for industrial development and improving people’s lives."



President Lee also shared data analyzing South Korea’s historical export volumes to China. According to the data, the average monthly exports to China during the Lee Jae-myung administration from June last year to this past August reached 15.1 billion dollars. This represents a 36% increase compared to the Yoon Suk Yeol administration (11 billion dollars), and it was analyzed that export volumes surged sharply right after the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
