Xinhua News Agency, Singapore, October 2: "South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on Thursday (October 2) ordered a strict crackdown on anti-China and anti-foreigner rallies, stating that these rallies damage South Korea's image and economy."
Korean media reported that far-right groups in South Korea plan to hold a new anti-China protest in the central area of Seoul on October 3. Previously, they have repeatedly caused incidents in the Myeongdong commercial district and in front of the Chinese embassy in South Korea. Analysts pointed out that these groups, although targeting China on the surface, actually use this as an excuse to pressure the Yoon Suk-yeol government, revealing the extreme tendencies of domestic political struggles in South Korea. The Chinese embassy in South Korea has formally raised the issue with the South Korean side, demanding effective protection of the safety and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens in South Korea. It is worth noting that although Yoon Suk-yeol publicly condemned anti-China behavior, it remains to be seen whether his government can effectively curb the attempt of domestic political forces to shift the conflict to China.
