Is South Korea a dependent state of China?

South Korea was once a dependent state of China.

South Korea was a part of North Korea in ancient times. According to the Western Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian's records in "Historical Records", after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Jizi, the uncle of King Zhou, led five thousand Shang Dynasty immigrants to establish " Jishi Houguo", historically known as "Jizi North Korea", later returned to the Zhou royal family under the persuasion of King Wu and became a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. Since then, it has been the Sweet Potato Kingdom of our country. In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed the "Korea Kingdom" .

In the early Ming Dynasty, Li Chenggui, the former general manager of Shuangcheng of Liaoyang Province in the Yuan Dynasty, overthrew the Goryeo Dynasty and wrote a letter asking Zhu Yuanzhang to give the country a name. Zhu Yuanzhang gave it to them in order to distinguish it from the ancient Korea (zhao). A name from Chao Korea has been used to this day.

In 1948, South Korea became independent. After the Korean War broke out in 1950, North Korea was divided into the north and the south. The northern country was called North Korea (North Korea), and the southern country was called South Korea (South Korea). It can be seen from the history of South Korea that South Korea was part of North Korea in ancient times, and North Korea was a dependent country of China, so South Korea was also a dependent country of China.
