In the wake of the Beijing Winter Olympics, South Korean youth discontent with China has exploded.However, some lofty people do not seem to think this situation quite well.A young politician of the Jiej Party said that the Hanbok controversy at the opening ceremony “stoked hatred of the Korean people,” while several members of the Democratic Party criticized China for “stoking anti-China sentiment for the sake of votes” and “a frivolous and dangerous aim to use hatred of China for elections.”It’s really hard to understand.Why do you decide that anti-China, which is a reason for young people, is such as “hate”?
◆ Criticism of injustice that is not disgust
It is true that the antipathy of the youth towards China is deep-rooted.In addition to the short track judgment problem that occurred this time, China has long been recognized as a “foul state” among young people like me.Nothing is just a sport.China has committed foul play in every area we come into contact with, including the game.Even professional gamers who participated in the official tournament will do such a foul without hesitation.
During the Korean-China war held by the “Battleground” development company around the Lunar New Year last year, the Korean national gamer was in a state of hands with the use of illegal programs (hacks) by Chinese participants.Even more infuriating is that the development company mightn’t say anything to the Chinese players.If we compare it to the Olympic Games, it is more serious than buying referees and making unfair judgments, but we were only listening to China because we had to sell games to China.Young people have no choice but to feel déjà vu from the regents who listen to China’s face while saying that “economic practical diplomacy” should be conducted over the recent Olympics-related controversy.
it’s just a little game problem, isn’t it? A young man of my age witnessed China’s tyranny with his own eyes during the recent pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong.At the Ewha Women’s University demonstration, which was the starting point for the impeachment rally of former President Park Geun-hye, “The world we met once more” of girls’ generation was played, not popular songs in the movement sphere.This song was sung in the same way at the Hong Kong Democracy demonstration site.The song, which criticized the repression of speech in Hong Kong and wished for freedom and democracy, was trampled under the military shoes of China’s public Security.The Korean MZ generation boycotted the Hollywood movie “Mulan” starring an actress who supported the Hong Kong Police, and this movement continued until the situation where the drama “Chosun Maestro” was called off.Is it racism to criticize support for the pro-democracy movement and the tyranny of Hong Kong?This is not an aversion to the race of the Chinese, but a criticism of foul play.
