Abstract

The year 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of 30th Anniversary of the Establishment of China-South Korea Diplomatic Relations . Over the past three decades, China-South Korea relations have witnessed rapid development and fruitful exchanges and cooperation in various fields, which have not only brought tangible benefits to both sides but also made positive contributions to regional and world peace and stability. Now, standing at a new starting point, how to push China-South Korea relations to a new level has become a topic of close attention on both sides. Therefore, on the basis of nearly 30 years of research, scholars of China and South Korea put forward a new path and new model for the sustained and stable development of China-South Korea relations and cooperation.<BR> In this paper, 191 china-South Korea cooperative research papers published on CSSCI journals in the Database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were selected as samples, and literature measurement and content analysiswere used for research and analysis. Based on the preliminary outline of the annual distribution of literature samples, the distribution of major journals, the distribution of authors and their institutions, the paper uses CiteSpace software to sort out the hot topics and the evolution trend of China-South Korea cooperation research. The analysis results show that, on the whole, there are many researches on China-South Korea relations, China-South Korea FTA and The Korean Peninsula issue in Chinese academic circles, with increasing academic attention. However, the research strength is relatively scattered, and a mature and stable cooperation network and academic community has not yet been formed. The researches mainly focus on economic cooperation, and lack cooperation in other fields, as well as cooperation risks and coping strategies. In other words, complex risks and systemic risks in international cooperation are not paid enough attention, which also restricts the further research. The majority of research methods are qualitative research, and the big data analysis with integration of multidisciplinary research methods still needs to be improved.
