Chinese state media also launched support fire, saying that Ambassador Xing said the right thing.

China’s check on Korea-US-Japan closeness became explicit from the recovery phase of Korea-Japan relations in March.

criticized the results of the Korea-US and Korea-Japan summits by using expressions such as ‘humiliation diplomacy and flattery’.

This time, the intention became clearer when Ambassador Xing Hai-ming invited the opposition leader to the official residence and criticized the current government’s diplomatic line.
[Xing Haiming / Chinese Ambassador to Korea (Last 8th): It seems that some are betting that the US will win and China will lose.] Taking aim at the Yoon Seok-yeol government and blaming the worsening relationship between Korea and China
, Hey, I can see the goal of inducing division of public opinion in Korea, such as conservatives and progressives.
