Lee Jae-myung would temper South Korea’s hawkish approach toward China if he becomes president.

Lee is the leader of the main opposition Democratic Party and the heavy favorite to become president if the Constitutional Court removes Yoon Suk Yeol from office over his move to impose martial law at the end of last year .

Lee said he welcomed Trump ’s desire to restart dialogue with North Korea , after his first -term meetings with Kim led nowhere.

Lee says South Koreans can’t back down from unresolved historical grievances, including a territorial dispute and compensation of laborers forced to work for Japanese companies during colonization.

A return to tense Tokyo -Seoul relations would concern policy officials in Washington , who want the neighbors to cooperate against a shared threat: Beijing .

Lee grew up in poverty, working in sweatshops as a teen to help support his family.
