The South Korean special mission has arrived in Beijing and is scheduled for a four-day visit to China.During the previous two days, the South Korean special mission has been conducting intensive activities in Beijing, after which it has met with Chinese officials such as Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
On the third day, Park Bingsey held a symposium in the South Korean Embassy in China with the Korean media press, finally broke the silence, and presented the results of this visit to China.
At the opening of the meeting, Mr. Park emphasized one thing in particular, saying that almost all Chinese people met with the special mission talked about "anti-Chinese" feelings in South Korea, and asked South Korea to take measures against this phenomenon.
You know, the interaction between countries has always been "based on the facts", and it is rare to put folk emotions on the table so intensively.
Behind this, it is clear that some extreme actions in South Korea have crossed the bottom line.Moreover, since the "martial law storm" during the Yoon Seek Yoon government last year,"anti-China" rallies on the streets of South Korea have continued.
In the face of China's request, Park Byung-seok's response is direct: the ROK will take care of those behaviors that are "out of the scope of the ", and will investigate and deal with those behaviors that exceed the bottom line of the Constitution and laws according to law.
However, this is listening to the truth, but can it fall into reality, I am afraid to ask a question.
After all, the anti-Chinese emotions in South Korea have never been a mere outburst of popular emotions, and there are no more political forces behind them.
Then, Park Byung-suk pointed out that the special envoy's visit has an important task: to clarify the foreign policy of the Lee Jae-ming government and to promote the return of China-South Korea relations to a normal track.
Interestingly, in the reporter's question-and-question session, someone asked whether the Lee Jae-myung government's "balanced diplomacy" between China and the United States was discussed during the meeting between China and South Korea.
This is a very sharp question, and Park Byung-seok answered it evasively: the stability of Sino-US relations is conducive to the development of South Korea-China relations, and China has also clarified its principles and position on Sino-US relations.
It should be mentioned that on the day that the South Korean special mission visited China, Lee also flew to Washington to meet with Trump.
Li in Ming also said recently that South Korea can not continue to follow the so-called "Amerique" route, "Amerique" means South Korea to cooperate with the U.S. security, with the Chinese economy. but this is a bit meaningful, after all, Trump has been pressuring South Korea to "choose the sidelines".
In addition to the issue of "anti-China" emotions, the special mission's visit to China also exchanged on other topics, and the special mission made a request when meeting with the Chinese side, hoping that the Chinese side would open up the literary and creative market.
However, Park Bingsey also said the truth, saying that there are many difficulties to solve related problems.
The members of the special mission submitted a series of cooperation suggestions to the Chinese side on promoting friendly exchanges and enhancing feelings between the two peoples, and received a positive response from the Chinese side.
among them,Seoul National University and Peking University can jointly carry out joint academic research to resolve the "anti-China and hatred of Korea" sentiment between Chinese and Korean people. China agreed to this proposal. The two sides also agreed to expand cooperation on the excavation project of the remains of An Zhonggen, an anti-Japanese independence activist.
Although academic cooperation between China and South Korea can indeed serve as a bridge to enhance understanding if it focuses on objective facts, historical experience also reminds us that the effectiveness of such cooperation often depends on adhering to the principles of fairness and authenticity.
Take the former mutual review of Chinese and Japanese textbooks as an example. At that time, some Japanese textbooks blurred the history of aggression, which not only failed to bridge the differences, but damaged the foundation of trust because they deviated from historical facts. I can only say that I hope the ROK will not repeat the same mistakes.
At present, judging from the results of the visit to China announced by the South Korean special envoy delegation, economic cooperation has not been mentioned. Although South Korea has made a preliminary statement on resolving the issue of "anti-China" sentiment, it still depends on what South Korea will do in the future.
