President Xi May Visit South Korea Later This Month; Will Koreans Protest His Visit?

If there should be massive protests against any world leader visiting South Korea, President Xi should be it. China is the country that most recently invaded and destroyed the country, not the Japanese and China continues to be the lifeline that supports North Korea, a country that is committed to the destruction of the ROK:

Chinese President Xi Jinping is rumored to be visiting Seoul this month for a summit with President Moon Jae-in. 

The JoongAng Ilbo, citing an unnamed diplomatic source, reported Thursday that Xi will visit Seoul to meet Moon before going to Osaka, Japan, in late June to participate in the G20 meeting, scheduled for two days from June 28.

Cheong Wa Dae and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said “nothing has been decided” on Xi’s possible trip to Seoul. They did however, say Seoul and Beijing have been working closely to realize his visit. 

“The Chinese government is known to be preparing a schedule for Xi’s visit to South Korea on the last week of this month before he participates in the G20 summit,” the newspaper quoted an unnamed diplomatic source as saying.

You can read more at the link, but another reason Koreans should be protesting Xi is that China continues to be the home of a modern day comfort women industry and yet the South Korean left will only protest Imperial Japanese comfort women polices from 75 years ago.

You throw in the Chinese fishing boats encroaching on ROK territory and murdering ROK Coast Guard personnel and the Chinese government sponsored assault on Korean citizens in Seoul ten years ago, there are plenty of reasons that Koreans should be unhappy with President Xi.

However, it is likely little if any protests will occur because China is a hard target to protest against because they will retaliate compared to the easy target that is Japan.
