Will The New South Korean President More Anti Cina ?
- Described
by analysts as a ‘watershed’ moment for South Korea’s security and
diplomacy, Wednesday’s polls will decide who succeeds President Moon
Jae-in
- growing anti-Chinese sentiment in the country will need to
be addressed
In the weeks leading up to the South Korean presidential elections, controversies surrounding the Winter Olympics in Beijing have dominated Chinese media headlines and internet discussions.
Many South Koreans were outraged by the sight of a woman dressed in hanbok, a form of traditional Korean dress, carrying a Chinese flag at the Olympics opening ceremony. They said it was Beijing’s latest attempt to claim aspects of Korean culture.
Anger again erupted after two South Korean short-track speed skaters were disqualified, allowing a pair of Chinese skaters to win gold and silver – prompting accusations that the judges were biased in favour of China.
