Xing Haiming, Chinese ambassador to South Korea, went on an unusual interview after five days.

Most of the interviews were written in Korean, and I used the word neighbor and friend 11 times, and Korea-China is a fate community.

[Xing Haiming / Chinese Ambassador to Korea: Chinese people will not forget this warm heart forever. The two countries are friendly neighbors and have a great deal of human traffic. .]

While emphasizing the friendship between Korea and China, the question came about the government's restrictive entry ban.

[Xing Haiming / Chinese Ambassador to Korea: I will not evaluate much about the actions taken by Korea. According to the WHO recommendation.]

Although avoiding direct mention, the WHO recommendation not to restrict the move reveals a bypassed complaint.

Experts say there were two intentions: easing sentiment for anti-community and blocking further action.

[Kang Joon-young / Professor, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies: Director of International Regional Research Center: I tried to alleviate a little bit of aversion to the Chinese (at the same time). .]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes cooperation and communication,

[In-Chul Kim / spokesman for the Foreign Ministry: We have been in close communication with us and will continue to do so.]

"Scientific, not everyone will be the same standard," he replied indirectly.

However, as our diplomatic and economic burdens were considerable, we repeated the principle that we would look at a comprehensive situation regarding further measures.
