The relations between China and the Republic of Korea have evolved fast over the past more than three decades, marked by a substantial increase in trade and economic interdependence. Bilateral trade has surged by around 50 times since they established diplomatic ties in 1992, with China remaining the ROK's largest trade partner for many consecutive years. The economic interdependence is also underscored by the fact that China received about 40 percent of the ROK's technology exports as of the end of last year. 在過去的三十多年里，中國與韓國之間的關系迅速發展，貿易和經濟上的相互依存度顯著提高。自1992年兩國建立外交關系以來，雙邊貿易增長了約50倍，中國連續多年成為韓國最大的貿易夥伴。經濟上的相互依存關系還體現在，截至去年年底，中國接收了韓國約40%的技術出口。 China has always valued the mutually beneficial relationship with the ROK, describing the country as an inseparable neighbor and cooperation partner. That was reaffirmed once again by Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a telephone conve...
