What mentality makes South Korea adopt unequal policies and unfair treatment of incoming Chinese?
Now more and more Chinese tourists travel to South Korea, and we all know that China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and many people have the ability to travel abroad. As a result, a large number of Chinese tourists began to flock to South Korea. But in recent days, it has been heard that South Korean customs have refused to issue visas on arrival for Chinese group tourists entering the airport from Incheon Airport, and also requires hotel reservations, round-trip air tickets and proof of property to qualify for visas on arrival.
It is reported that more than 1,000 Chinese tourists have been turned away! After the news was transmitted back to China, it caused an uproar, and many netizens expressed their anger: "Why discriminate against Chinese? So what is the reason why South Korea is so arrogant?
In fact, as a small Asian country, they have serious problems of their own. First, historically Japan invaded the Korean Peninsula and forced members of the then royal family to participate in colonial rule; After the end of World War II, the stationing of US troops in South Korea turned South Korea into a puppet of the United States; Coupled with South Korea's special position, it is more vulnerable to various forces, such as surrounded by two world-class superpowers, Japan and Russia, and any major power that wants to attack or occupy South Korea will pay a very high price, even if the United States only dares to watch from a distance and dare not act rashly. In addition, South Korea's long-term dependence on the United States has caused its habitual thinking of obeying the words of the United States, and over time has formed a servile culture that only follows the lead of the United States.
Such a mindset dictates that South Korea does not have the courage to face any provocations, or even a basic sense of resistance, otherwise it will not be reduced to fish on the chopping board of others in just a few decades. In addition, prejudices against ethnic groups in South Korean society are deeply rooted. Despite the large number of Chinese, South Korean society still Chinese regarded as inferior barbarians, especially those living north of the Han River, who are often blinded and despised for their lack of education and low standard of living. This prejudice directly led them to the exclusion of Chinese immigrants and even to the extent that they tried their best to prevent Chinese from entering South Korea. In fact, South Korea's economic development is fully worthy of the title of a real developed country, but they have missed the opportunity and are willing to act as lackeys of the United States and follow the United States to bully weak neighbors, which is simply disgusting. Since China has a long and splendid history and culture, and has strong economic strength, why do you have to send people under the fence?
