The Korea-China cooperative partnership model achieved the dual goal of working-level cooperation between the two countries and effective control over structural contradictions and guaranteed the rapid development of bilateral relations. but structural conflicts between the two countries, the two systems, and the two security systems still persist. These structural conflicts have been hampered by factors such as changes in the dynamics of the two countries, widening the gap in strategic perceptions, and deteriorating cooperation environment. This study summarized the achievements and limitations of the Korea-China strategic cooperation partnership as follows. First of all, economic cooperation between Korea and China is shifting from a complementary relationship to a competitive phase. Next, the progress of the Korea-China strategic partnership has prepared a strategic environment for the development of bilateral relations. However, there is a gap between the official regulations and the actual situation.hird, it is the expansion of humanities exchanges and sluggish understanding between the people of the two countries. Humanities exchanges have been actively conducted between Korea and China based on geographical proximity and historical and cultural similarities.The mutual feelings of the people of the two countries cannot follow the development trend of bilateral relations, but on the contrary, they are showing a deteriorating atmosphere. This paper argues that China and Korea should make the following efforts in the future. First, Korea and China should actively promote the momentum for cultural exchange. Second, Korea and China should maintain and improve the safety of supply chain cooperation. Third, Korea and China should improve the sustainability of the communication mechanism between the two countries.
