AB - This paper analyzes the new trends and underlying factors in South Korea’s direct investment in China. South Korean investment in China has undergone five stages, shifting from early labor-intensive industries to high-tech manufacturing and the semiconductor sector. In recent years, China’s rising industrial competitiveness has led to a gradual reduction in South Korean investment outside the semiconductor sector, while U.S.-China strategic competition and U.S. technology restrictions have driven a significant decline in South Korean semiconductor investment in China. Despite these challenges, China’s domestic market demand and the interdependent China-South Korea supply chains remain key motivators for South Korean firms’ direct investment in China. This paper suggests that China further open its markets, improve the business environment, promote high-tech cooperation with South Korea, and deepen China-South Korea economic and trade relations through regional economic agreements.
