South Korea's health care reform turmoil is not over, after the Yoon Suk-yeol government tried to change the situation of high medical costs in South Korea by expanding the enrollment of medical schools, and it is clear that Yoon Suk-yeol's policies directly touched the interests of the existing medical system, which directly triggered large-scale protests, as well as large-scale strikes, thus impacting the South Korean medical system. When the turmoil over medical reform did not stop, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol ignored it and still went to visit the USS Roosevelt CVN71. The USS Roosevelt arrived in Busan, South Korea, on June 22 and began joining the joint military exercise "Freedom Blade" on June 27, which was jointly held by the United States, Japan and South Korea.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has a special "feeling" for the United States, from Yoon Suk-yeol's words, deeds and actions can be seen that as long as it is the strategy of the United States, South Korea will follow unconditionally, recently South Korea openly threatened Russia, claiming that if Russia provides high-precision weapons to North Korea, South Korea will provide weapons to Ukraine, obviously Yoon Suk-yeol is betting that the United States will support South Korea, so he dares to take an aggressive posture towards Russia. South Korea is not only ready to move on Russia, but also to China, openly opposing China on a number of issues, and South Korea has publicly approved the United States to expand the scale of the deployment of the THAAD system in South Korea, so as to improve the US military's air defense and anti-missile capabilities.
South Korea has not only broken its promise on the THAAD issue and violated its previous commitments to China, but has also closely followed the US strategy on the Taiwan Strait issue, frequently playing up the so-called refusal of the PLA to unify Taiwan by force, and even the take-off and landing of military aircraft on Taiwan Island, highlighting that South Korea, like the United States, wants to play the "Taiwan card." South Korea has also joined the United States' "chip war" against China, and actively cooperated with the United States to suppress China's chip industry, obviously South Korea has to pay the price, the most prominent is that South Korea has a comprehensive trade deficit with China, not only that, South Korea also has many internal contradictions. According to South Korean media reports, since June 20, South Korea has had a petition to impeach the president, and so far more than 500,000 people have signed it, so now Yoon Suk-yeol is in a situation where he wants to get a hammer.
In just a few days, more than 500,000 people signed a petition to impeach Yoon, which already shows that Yoon's approval ratings in South Korea are precarious, and indeed according to the results of opinion polls. Yoon Suk-yeol's presidency of South Korea has put South Korea in a long-term passive situation, because South Korea's economic development has entered a difficult situation, which is the most direct impact of the Yoon Suk-yeol government's pro-American strategy. Today's United States can no longer drive the development of South Korea's economy, Yoon Suk-yeol is pro-US at the same time, but also actively promoting the collusion with Japan, from the United States, Japan and South Korea's many joint military exercises, it can be seen that South Korea has no resentment towards Japan, Yoon Suk-yeol is through "humiliation diplomacy" to achieve reconciliation with Japan, obviously against the will of South Korea, so there is today's backlash.
Since the opposition party has the majority of seats in the South Korean National Assembly, once the National Assembly begins to push through the impeachment process, Yoon Suk-yeol is "more than lucky".
