Some South Korean netizens are egging on the US military to deal with China, and the reason behind it is baffling, even scaring the US side.
Observation Network cited a report from South Korean official media: an angry South Korean netizen actually urged the US troops stationed in South Korea to deal with China. The reason behind it is related to the forest fires in South Korea, which is quite baffling.
We know that since late March, forest fires have been raging in the eastern part of South Korea. So far, dozens of people have died. During the firefighting process, a lot of negative news has spread, especially the food for firefighters being worse than that for prison inmates, which has repeatedly topped the South Korean hot search list. But recently, because of the earthquake in Myanmar, some South Korean netizens couldn't sit still anymore. They complained: why can China send people to help Myanmar rescue, but not send troops to help South Korea fight the fire!
In response, Chinese netizens don't know what to say. But that's not the end of it. On April 1st, a South Korean netizen even said: "If it is proven that this forest fire is related to China, then the US troops stationed in South Korea should immediately intervene and impose martial law." Such baseless speculation is indeed baffling. His statement even scared the Americans. As a result, the US troops stationed in South Korea quickly replied to this South Korean netizen through their official account, asking him not to spread rumors.
Commentators believe that this unreasonable South Korean netizen was probably influenced by Yoon Suk-yeol. Previously, when Yoon Suk-yeol was under review, he also brought up China. He claimed that he had imposed martial law before because he discovered some Chinese spies, so he had to do so. Later, it was proven that this statement was nonsense. However, after that, the rumor that "there are Chinese spies in South Korea" has been spreading online. Therefore, given the current situation, if the South Korean authorities want to avoid such incidents, they should quickly come forward to clarify the facts and give China an explanation. After all, this matter not only makes the US troops stationed in South Korea very upset, but Chinese netizens are also very angry. As for sending troops to help South Korea fight the fire, the South Korean authorities have not requested China, and China wishes that the forest fire problem can be thoroughly resolved, but there is no obligation to send troops just like that.
