China-Korea Relations Freeze: Tensions Soar Over Diplomatic Dispute

2023-06-11 12:13:00

Concentrated dissatisfaction with the Korean government, which chose to tie up with the United States, seems to have been expressed

The Chinese government set fire to the South Korean government’s arrest of Chinese Ambassador to South Korea Xing Haiming by arresting South Korean Ambassador to China Jeong Jae-ho. It seems that the relationship between Korea and China is freezing while exchanging sharp reactions mixed with emotions.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 11th, “Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nung Lung met with Ambassador Chung following promising to meet (Wei Jian/約見) the day before, raising negotiations over the South Korean side’s unfair response to the exchange between Ambassador Xing and Lee Jae-myeong, the opposition leader, and raising serious concerns. and expressed dissatisfaction,” he said.

“Wejian” is a diplomatic term that means that the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls foreign diplomats or meets them in a separate place to protest. Compared to ‘Zhaozen (召見 · Call to meet)’, the level is lower, but it corresponds to ‘Chochi’ in Korea. According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Director General Nung told Ambassador Jeong, “It is his job to interact with people from all walks of life in Korea. said

The Korean Embassy in China said that Ambassador Jeong also made a stern protest to Director Nung. The embassy said on its website, “We expressed serious concern and delivered a stern protest over the fact that the Chinese ambassador to Korea made unreasonable, provocative, and untrue words and actions that went once morest diplomatic conventions during a meeting with the representative of the opposition party in Korea.”

Earlier, on the 8th, Ambassador Singh met Lee Jae-myung, the head of the Democratic Party of Korea, and said, “I am deeply concerned and heartbroken over the current difficulties faced by China-Korea relations.” Ambassador Xing insisted, “What I can say for sure is that those who now bet on China’s defeat will definitely regret it.”

First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Chang Ho-jin summoned Ambassador Singh to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building the next day, on the 9th, and said, “It is once morest the Vienna Convention and diplomatic custom for the Ambassador to criticize our government policy in front of a number of media outlets with statements that are not true and cannot be condoned. In addition, it might amount to interference in internal affairs,” he warned.

Analysts say that the war of nerves mixed with emotions between the two countries ostensibly originated from Ambassador Singh’s remarks, but was fundamentally the result of China’s dissatisfaction with the South Korean government, which chose solidarity with the US between the US and China. It is pointed out that in the process of raising the level of security cooperation between Korea, the US and Japan, the South China Sea and Taiwan issues, which China is sensitive to, were mentioned several times, and China’s accumulated complaints were expressed through Ambassador Singh’s harsh language.
