[Global Network Reporter Jiang Yiling] According to Korean media reports such as Yonhap News Agency and South Korea's "Central Daily News", South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said on October 2nd that at present, hate speech against specific countries and people in South Korea is being spread wantonly, and this kind of "self-harm behavior that is harmful to national interests and image" must be completely eliminated.

Reports said that Li Zai-ming made the above statement during a meeting held at the Yongshan Presidential Palace in Seoul on the 2nd. Li Ziming said,"Such behaviors that lack cultural literacy, are inferior and damage national integrity cannot be allowed to be allowed."

According to Korean media analysis such as Yonhap News Agency, Lee Jae-myung's above statement may be aimed at the recent anti-China rallies in Myeongdong, Seoul and other places.

The report mentioned that Li Zaiming also said,"With the possibility of visa-free entry for group tourists from China, the Myeongdong business district has begun to 'see'." He questioned,"When we are not grateful and welcome, there are still people here spreading hateful remarks, even insulting and causing trouble. How can this be done?"

¡°Tourists can consume millions of won at a time; if you add another ten million, the effect is comparable to huge exports,¡± Li said, ¡°but which country¡¯s nationals would be willing to go to a country that has no reason for them to travel and shop?¡±

Li Ziming asked relevant departments to formulate special countermeasures as soon as possible to strictly control inflammatory behaviors that threaten the safety of overseas tourists.

When Lee Jae-myung presided over the State Council at the Presidential Palace in Longshan in September, he also strongly condemned the previous anti-China rally in Myeongdong, Seoul, saying that such activities were out of the scope of * and were "troublemaking" acts. Li Zaiming repeatedly urged relevant departments to actively study solutions. On the 19th, South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok issued an emergency instruction to the police for some "anti-China" gatherings, saying that if necessary, strong measures would be taken against individual "anti-China" gatherings.

In response to the anti-China rallies in parts of South Korea after the general election, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea said in July this year that in recent years, South Korea has successfully held the presidential election, and China congratulated it, wishing South Korea to stability, development and prosperity. China and South Korea's exchanges and cooperation in various fields are also increasing, which is in line with the common interests of the two peoples. Unfortunately, the individual political forces of South Korea have falsified the so-called "Chinese interference in the general election of South Korea", accused China of blackmailing, and China firmly opposed.
