BEIJING -- China has officially invited South Korean President Moon Jae-in to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, according to a diplomatic source familiar with bilateral relations, leaving Seoul to choose between the U.S. and the Asian power.
Moon has struck a balanced foreign policy regarding the Sino-U.S. rivalry. But Beijing apparently looks to draw South Korea to its side as a counter against the diplomatic boycott of the Olympics by the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.
