There is a large possibility that the Xi Jinping leadership will be inclined to find solutions to national problems during its incumbency, it will try to enhance Chinese influence based on the confidence of having become the world's second ranked economic nation. Its policy towards East Asia involves new bilateral relations and maritime powers. The new bilateral relations which can be called a base for the external policy of the Xi Jinping leadership is to build new relationships through reinforced communication with the US, and in the form of bilateral relations, equality and reliability are emphasized. With respect to the maritime powers, the government is to develop its maritime economy, protect its maritime ecological environment, rights and interests, build up maritime power, and show a firm attitude to its protection of maritime rights and interests. In terms of relations with North Korea, no significant change has been shown, but it is expected that there will be some micro adjustments, and it is judged that China will reinforce its relationship with Korea's new government and in particular, maintain close cooperation economically. Towards the Xi Jinping government's external strategies, Korea should define its position with the US and China, secure various channels of communication for dealing with North Korea by encouraging China to play a greater role, develop directions on participation in economic cooperation between North Korea and China, realize a win-win relationship through a Korea China FTA, and enhance reliability.
