Chinese Embassy's Cautious Response to Protests in Seoul
The Chinese embassy in South Korea has issued a rare warning to Chinese nationals, advising them to avoid provoking South Koreans amidst large-scale protests in Seoul. These protests, featuring slogans like "Heaven will destroy the CCP," target the Chinese Communist Party, blaming it for election fraud and demanding the arrest of President Li Jayong. The embassy's caution is unusual, as it has previously stirred tensions between Chinese people and locals. Analysts suggest the protests were sparked by South Korea's new visa-free entry policy for Chinese tourist groups, which many protesters used to express their dissatisfaction with the CCP.
Anti-Communist Rallies and Growing Dissatisfaction
Large-scale anti-communist rallies are taking place in Seoul, drawing thousands of South Koreans, including students, veterans, and retirees. These protesters raise banners with slogans like "Heaven will destroy the CCP" and wave both Korean and American flags. The rallies, held near the Chinese embassy, aim to spread awareness of their demands to a global audience through social media. These demonstrations have grown significantly since former President Yun Soil declared martial law, reflecting increasing anti-China sentiment.
Historical Context and Shifting Alliances
Since former conservative President Yun Soil declared martial law, his supporters have been protesting, directing their anger towards China and chanting "CCP out". These protests have continued even after the pro-China Li Mun took office as president in June, growing from small gatherings to large rallies. President Yun's emphasis on trilateral cooperation between South Korea, the US, and Japan contrasts with his predecessor Moonjain's neutral stance towards China. Concerns about China's potential invasion of Taiwan and its influence in South Korea and Japan are driving the anti-CCP sentiment.
Rising Anti-China Sentiment in South Korea
Anti-China sentiment in South Korea has surged in recent years. Surveys indicate that negative views of China have increased dramatically, with some polls showing as high as 97% of South Koreans holding unfavourable opinions. This rise is attributed to China's expansionist policies, the THAAD controversy, and perceived subservience of past leaders to the CCP. The uncivilised behaviour of some Chinese tourists has also reinforced negative stereotypes.
Allegations of CCP's Global Image Tarnishing Efforts
An anonymous Chinese individual, Mr. Y, claims that the CCP is deliberately tarnishing the image of Chinese people globally. He alleges that the CCP orchestrates events and supports controversial influencers to make Chinese people look bad. Mr. Y cites examples such as a CCP-funded amateur music performance in Vienna and influencers engaging in outrageous behaviour overseas. One such influencer, Lan Jan Feay, is accused of belittling other countries and embarrassing Chinese people while promoting the CCP's strength.
Falun Gong and the CCP's Unease
Recent events in South Korea have made the Chinese Communist Party very uneasy, as more South Koreans are distinguishing between the Chinese people and the CCP government. The presence of Falun Gong practitioners in Jeju Island, exposing the CCP's persecution and human rights abuses, is particularly alarming for the CCP. The unusual response from the Chinese embassy during the Seoul protests further confirms the CCP's unease, suggesting that South Koreans are demonstrating that the CCP's days are numbered.
