Amid growing controversy over the'Chinatown' over Korea-China Culture Town in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do, the Chinese state media reported that this reflected the anti-Chinese sentiment of the Korean people.
The government-run Global Times analyzed the controversy over the Korean-Chinese culture town today (20th) in detail.
On the 29th of last month, the newspaper reported that the controversy grew when the message'Please withdraw the construction of Chinatown in Gangwon-do' was posted on the Cheongwadae public petition bulletin board.
He added that more than 600,000 people agreed to the petition, and in this case, the Blue House should respond officially.
In addition, Gangwon Province officially explained that the Korea-China Culture Town was not based on China, but it reported that the controversy continued.
In an interview with the Global Times, film critic Swonsche said that this phenomenon reveals a sense of cultural inferiority.
