"Is Korea’s increasing economic dependence with China effecting its security reliance with the US?"
Without a doubt. Korea has always considered themselves part of the Asia mainland. The US has only provided a temporary buffer between North Korea and South Korea since the war in 1950. As North Korea deminishes in power and the south grows, it is South Koreas destiny to become an ally of China and to push off the west.(Its location, location, location).
At least until the Koreans need the US to intervien again.
