The pandemic transformed the tense competition between the US and China into a nascent Cold War.

It already participates in the larger G-20 forum, but the expanded G-7 is a more elite club. In a phone call with President Trump earlier this week, President Moon Jae-in agreed to accept Mr Trump's invitation to join the larger group. The nationwide protests in response to the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer changed the dynamics of the race.

Mr Biden would thus move quickly to depart from Mr Trump's unilateral and isolationist polices by reaching out to traditional allies in Europe and Asia. If the recovery is slow, however, frustrations could easily turn China into a scapegoat. If the Chinese economy recovers well, then China may be less willing to engage with the US, but if the recovery is slow, it may be more willing to engage.

Whatever happens, the US will remain an important ally of South Korea even as a rising China demands more attention.
