The main objectives of this research are twofold. The first objective is to analyze the trade structure between Korea, China and Japan between the years of 2001 and 2017 and propose measures to expand trade with China. In particular, this research argues that the existing trade structure with China has run into limitations due to a decrease in China’s import of intermediary goods and a consequent increase in competition within the industry, and thus it will be important to utilize China’s various policies such as the New Industries Policy and High-Quality Consumption Policy, etc., in order to expand trade. It will also be necessary to devise new China FDI policies that take into account the recent changes in China, especially in the fields of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, domestic consumption goods industries, and high value-added service industries. This is covered in Chapter 2 of the study. The second objective of the study is to derive policy implications for Korea and Korea-China-Japan (KCJ) cooperation in the following three areas: the 4th Industrial Revolution, e-commerce, and cultural contents. This is covered in Chapter 3 to 5 of the study.
   Chapter 2, “Changes in Korea, China, and Japan’s Trade and Investment Structure,” reviews the changes in the trade structure in the three countries, and examines new measures of cooperation to respond to changes in trade (including investment) structures between Korea, China and Japan. The results indicate that advances in China’s production and export have increased the similarity between the trade items in Korea and China, and this in turn has changed the trade structure between the two countries, from a focus on division of labor toward more intra-industry competition. Meanwhile, in the case of Japan, no mutual similarity is visible between the two countries in their trade items.
   In Chapter 3, “Korea, China, and Japan’s Cooperation in the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” this research first analyzes the three countries’ government policy in the field of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, then reviews the cases of cooperation between Korea, China and Japan, going on to propose promising directions or agendas for cooperation. According to the analysis, cases of Korea-China-Japan cooperation in the fields of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are rare, and Korea does not seem to have a clear direction for industrial cooperation with either Japan or China. In this context, this study presents tasks and directions for Korea-China cooperation, as well as for Korea-Japan cooperation, rather than drawing a common direction or agenda for trilateral forms of cooperation.
   In Chapter 4, “Korea, China, and Japan’s Cooperation in E-Commerce,” this study looks into cross-border e-commerce trade, which is growing rapidly in the recent years. This chapter aims to identify trends and characteristics of e-commerce policies in Korea, China, and Japan and draw implications for cooperation in the e-commerce sector. In the search for areas of cooperation in KCJ’s cross-border e-commerce trade, this chapter focuses on three areas: cross-border measures (including customs clearance and logistics), movement of data across borders, and consumer protection. According to the analysis, cooperation between KCJ is most feasible in the areas of customs clearance and logistics. In particular, joint partnership projects between cities, an area which has received much attention recently, could be effective when it comes to enhancing intra-regional cooperation in cross-border e-commerce. In the area of data transfer across borders, it would be difficult to reach a consensus among KCJ due to clear differences in the respective positions of the three countries. Finally, in the field of consumer protection, this study notes the discussions currently progressing through channels such as the Korea-China-Japan Consumer Policy Council, and stresses that developing and strengthening these communication efforts would yield more meaningful outcomes in the area.
   Chapter 5, “Expanding Korea’s Exports of Cultural Contents in China and KCJ Cooperation,” examines the three countries’ policies of promoting cultural contents industries and regulatory policies—implemented in order to protect indigenous industries—and suggests policy implications for Korea. Korea`s cultural content export is heavily dependent on China and Japan, and its export sector is also heavily concentrated in the game industry; thus, it is necessary to diversify its export destinations and foster new contents sectors. This chapter examines cultural contents policies in the three countries, as well as regulations and barriers to foreign entities in the cultural contents industry, comparing and evaluating the three countries’ policies to suggest changes to Korea’s cultural contents exports strategy.
