[Compiled by Wei Guojin/Taipei Report]South Korea will hold a congressional election on the 10th. Representative Lee Jae-ming, the leader of South Korea’s largest opposition Democratic Party, the Democratic Party, ridiculed and criticized the Yin Xiyue government with the recent surge in green onion prices by more than NT$100. “Chosun Ilbo” commented that 50% of the world’s trade volume passes through the Taiwan Strait every day. “The Taiwan Strait is the lifeblood of South Korea.” The core argument of this congressional election is “not green onions, but Taiwan.”
The article said that Matsu in Taiwan is like Yeonpyeong Island in South Korea, and is the front line closer to China than Taiwan itself. Last year, two submarine cables connecting Matsu and Taiwan were damaged. The Associated Press reported that the Taiwan government suspected that China was responsible and that an “underwater” war had begun.
The article said that CNN chief security analyst Jim Sciutto disclosed in his new book “The Return of Great Powers” that U.S. Republican Congressman Gallagher attacked him in August last year. Said, “In fact, in the sense of economic or cyber attacks, it can be considered that (the Chinese Communist Party’s) invasion of Taiwan has already begun.”
Lee Jae-ming pointed out in his speech on the 22nd of last month, “Why should we provoke China? Just say thank you. Say thank you to Taiwan, that’s it. Why do we always provoke each other everywhere? Why do we get involved in cross-strait issues? No matter what happens in the Taiwan Strait, China and What are Taiwan’s domestic problems and what does it have to do with us?”
The article bluntly stated, “The glaring part is the ‘domestic issues of China and Taiwan.'” Attributing China’s threats to Taiwan to “domestic issues” is China’s position, not the consensus of the international community. If South Korea, like Australia, is a country that is very sensitive to China’s intervention in national security, then Lee Jae-myung’s remarks will threaten its own politics. life.
“But what is even more surprising is the reality based on this.” 50% of the world’s trade volume is transported through the Taiwan Strait every day. “The Taiwan Strait is like the lifeblood of South Korea.” It is difficult to imagine that an armed conflict in the Taiwan Strait will have a negative impact on South Korea. How to influence, not to mention that South Korea and the United States are military alliances. If the United States confronts China in order to defend Taiwan, “this war will never be ‘other people’s business.'”
The article said that the price of agricultural products is based on short-term events such as weather and harvest, but changes in the international situation and geopolitics are more serious events that will determine South Korea’s national destiny for decades or even centuries. “It determines livelihoods and even national survival.” It’s self-evident what the ‘real problem’ is.”
The article ends by criticizing the opposition party, “Former President Moon Jae-in, who shouts anti-Americanism while sending his children to study in the United States, is going to join Congress again, saying, ‘Although (South Korea) is a small country, it wants to participate in the Chinese Dream.'” “Why do you have the nerve to intervene in an election? People who should be tried are loudly saying that they will judge others. The only thing that can end this tragedy is the choice of voters.”
