<p>South Korean security has been threatened by North Korea since the Korean War.  The collapse of the Soviet Union has required Northeast Asian regional security to be  reconfigured. North Korea remains as South Korea's primary threat. China is emerging  rapidly and creating several issues directly and indirectly that are related to South Korea.  Especially, China's PLA modernization has been remarkable in its capability and  ambition. Therefore, threats imposed by China to South Korea may seem significant.  Directly, dispute in Socotra Rock and the Northeast Project impose threats to South  Korea. The Taiwan issue and the South China Sea dispute indirectly affect South Korean  security due to the involvement of the United States forces in the Northeast Asian region.  This thesis will reveal that China's PLA modernization coerces South Korea to confront  dilemmas in its security policy. In other words, such modernization is a threat to South  Korean security.
