韩国不顾其关键的半导体和材料作用,对中国采取谨慎立场,将更多的负担转移到美国的战略上。 South Korea's cautious stance on China, despite its key semiconductor and materials role, shifts more burden to U.S. strategy.

美国智囊团于10月9日发表2025年10月9日报告, 发现韩国在对抗中国时十分谨慎, A U.S. think tank report released October 9, 2025, finds South Korea is cautious in countering China despite rising regional tensions, limiting its military and economic pushback and thus increasing burdens on U.S. strategy. 报告虽然注意到韩国由于依赖美国的国防保障而在联盟中发挥了“相当重要”的作用,但强调它在半导体(特别是DRAM和NAND)方面的关键性全球领导地位,同时在先进材料方面不断增强的影响,这对美国努力减少对中国的依赖至关重要。 While noting South Korea’s "somewhat important" role in alliances due to its reliance on U.S. defense guarantees, the report highlights its critical global leadership in semiconductors—especially DRAM and NAND flash—alongside growing influence in advanced materials, both vital to U.S. efforts to reduce dependence on China.
