U.S. Congresswoman Young Kim Criticizes Impeachment of President Yoon
Congresswoman Young Kim was born in Incheon and has a long history in the U.S. House of Representatives being an expert on Korean affairs. She makes a great point on how the DPK’s first impeachment motion was to condemn Yoon for diplomacy atagonizing China, Russia, and North Korea. They ended up having to remove this motion after criticism, but shows who they favoritism towards:
“If the factions behind the impeachment in South Korea continue to steer the current situation, North Korea and China will seize this opportunity to weaken the U.S.-South Korea alliance. I say this based on my over 20 years of experience witnessing the threats posed by North Korea and China in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
In a written interview with The Chosun Ilbo on Jan. 14, Young Kim, a U.S. congresswoman (Republican, California), said, “The forces behind President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment prefer appeasement toward North Korea and accommodation of China, which could lead to a major disaster for the Korean Peninsula and the Indo-Pacific region.” (…….)
In U.S. political circles, there has been growing concern over the phrase “diplomacy antagonizing North Korea, China, and Russia,” which was cited as a reason for impeachment in the first motion proposed by South Korea’s Democratic Party last month. After the first motion was defeated and controversy intensified, the opposition removed this clause from the second motion.
