South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung has prioritized restoring bilateral ties with China since taking office, framing 2026 as the year for full-scale normalization after years of friction over THAAD deployment and related economic restrictions. Xi Jinping and Lee held an in-person summit in Beijing in January 2026—their second meeting in two months—producing cooperation agreements on trade, technology, and the environment while addressing maritime issues and North Korea policy. As of mid-August 2026, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s scheduled visit to Seoul signals continued high-level engagement, though structural factors such as Seoul’s U.S. alliance, regional security concerns, and differing approaches to North Korea influence the pace of further leader-level contact. Traders monitor diplomatic calendars, multilateral forums, and any announced reciprocal visits for signals on additional Xi-Lee meetings.
