President Park Criticizes Leftist Politicians Traveling to China to Protest THAAD Deployment

Who do these leftist politicians serve, the people of South Korea or China?:

President Park Geun-hye Monday lashed out at political rivals’ opposition to the deployment of a U.S.-made missile defense system, saying issues of national security should be bipartisan.

The president’s sharpest criticism was aimed at six first-term Minjoo Party lawmakers who embarked on a three-day visit to Beijing on Monday, describing them as siding with Beijing on the missile system deployment, which it vociferously opposes.

At a regular senior secretariat meeting at the Blue House, Park noted it was the basic responsibility of politicians “to work in a bipartisan manner and avoid creating internal divisions when it comes to issues of national security.”  [Joong Ang Ilbo]

They serve their own selfish agenda. If they lose on this issue, concede and move on. They are inviting Chinese meddling in domestic issue. You know how chinese meddle in countries despite their vow in noninterference of other countries.
