[Global Network Reporter Li Ziyu] Since August 24th, the special envoy of the South Korean President has started a four-day visit to China. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean Presidential Special Envoy Park Byung-seok introduced the results of his visit to China to the media at the South Korean Embassy in China on the 26th. He said that during his visit to China, he learned that the "anti-China sentiment" in South Korea caused dissatisfaction in China, and China asked the ROK to take measures. In addition, Park Byung-seok was also asked about South Korea's "balanced diplomacy" between China and the United States and other related issues.

The report quoted Park Bingsey as saying that during the visit to China, almost all Chinese people meeting with the South Korean special mission mentioned "anti-Chinese" feelings in South Korea and asked the South Korean side to take measures in this regard.

Mr. Park added that the delegation had asked China to open up its merchandise market during the visit, but there were still many difficulties in resolving the issue. He said China was committed to expanding exchanges in healthy cultural areas, but acknowledged that there appeared to be some differences in cultural understanding, and that cultural openness required more time to accumulate and understand each other.

In addition, regarding the question of whether the two sides talked about the South Korean government's "balanced diplomacy" between China and the United States during the meeting with China, Park Byung-seok replied that the South Korean side indicated that the stability of Sino-US relations would contribute to the development of South Korea-China relations. In this regard, China has clarified its principles and position on Sino-US relations, but has not expressed its position on the ROK-US summit.

Regarding South Korea's implementation of "balanced diplomacy" between China and the United States, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular press conference on August 27 that a healthy, stable and continuously deepening China-ROK relationship is in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples, and is also conducive to regional and even world peace, stability, development and prosperity. This is the consensus between China and the ROK. The development of China-ROK relations stems from the common interests of both sides and is not targeted at a third party, nor should it be affected by third-party factors. China's policy towards the ROK maintains continuity and stability. It is hoped that the ROK side will meet China halfway and make joint efforts to promote the sustained, healthy and stable development of China-ROK strategic cooperative partnership.

Previously, there have been many anti-China demonstrations in Dalin-dong, Seoul, South Korea, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea and other places. There are also South Korean anti-China elements fabricating rumors that "China interferes in the Korean election", accusing and smearing China out of thin air. In this regard, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea issued a document on July 9 to remind Chinese citizens in (coming to) South Korea to strengthen security precautions.

In his opening speech at the State Assembly on 12 August, Li said: ¡°Hate, discrimination and violence against foreigners or disadvantaged groups appear to be a frequent occurrence in recent years.¡±¡°Recent anti-China rallies in South Korea, Li criticized: ¡°This is a hate demonstration that transcends the limits of freedom of speech, filled with insult and violence.¡±

On August 12, local time, Lee spoke at the State Conference.

"I hope everyone will think about how other countries will view the Republic of Korea when they see such a scene," he added."This behavior is completely incompatible with South Korea's status as a democracy that values diversity and inclusiveness."

In particular, Li also stressed to the relevant departments: ¡°If necessary, please formulate institutional complementary measures.¡±
