Despite close economic ties between South Korea and China, public opinion in South Korea toward China has notably shifted in recent years. This talk examines how domestic political narratives and media framing have contributed to these changes. It highlights that a polarized domestic discourse and media play an increasingly significant role in shaping public sentiment.
