To counter the discriminatory epidemic prevention policy, China "fired" at Japan and South Korea: stopping Japanese and Korean citizens from coming to China for short-term visas

After China issued COVID-19 prevention and control measures, many countries imposed strict entry measures on tourists from China. In view of the lack of scientific basis for other countries' policies, China fired the first shot on June 5438+ 10/0-The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a number of notices that "Korean and Japanese citizens suspended short-term visas to China", which can be described as a counterattack order against other countries' epidemic prevention policies discriminating against China citizens.

On June+10/October 10, 65438, the Korean government expressed regret over the counter-attack order issued by China.

65438+ 10 10, the China Embassy in South Korea issued a notice saying, "From now on, the China Embassy in South Korea will suspend the issuance of short-term visas for Korean citizens to come to China for business, tourism, medical care, transit and general private affairs. The above measures will be adjusted according to South Korea's lifting of discriminatory entry restrictions on China. "

Recently, Korean tourists from China were required to undergo nucleic acid testing within one day after entering the country. 65438+105, passengers from China must provide negative proof of nucleic acid test within 48 hours before boarding the plane and rapid screening test within 24 hours. When they arrive, they will have another test. Short-term visa holders will be tested in specially designated places within one day, and Korean citizens and residents will be observed in isolation at their places of residence.

Qin Gang, China's new foreign minister, telephoned South Korean Foreign Minister Park Chun-tong on19, expressing concern about the temporary restrictions imposed by the ROK on people entering South Korea recently, hoping that the ROK would adopt an objective and scientific attitude.

However, the South Korean side did not change, and still argued that the South Korean government's measures to strengthen entry and epidemic prevention in China have scientific and objective basis. South Korea has been openly and transparently using epidemic information with the international community and has been conveying this position to China through diplomatic channels. In the future, we will convey the above position to China again and continue to carry out close communication.

Therefore, according to the principle of reciprocity, China adopted the above measures on June 5438+ 10/0.

The notice issued by China made it clear that this was to oppose the discriminatory entry policy against China people. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning 65438+1October 3 said: "Some countries only take measures to restrict entry to China without scientific basis, and some extreme measures are even more unacceptable." "We resolutely oppose attempts to manipulate epidemic prevention and control measures to achieve political goals, and will take corresponding measures according to the principle of reciprocity in different situations."

At 20: 54 p.m. on June 65438+ 10/0, the Embassy of China in Japan also issued a similar notice, saying, "From now on, the Embassy of China in Japan will suspend the examination and issuance of ordinary visas for Japanese citizens to China. When to resume, please wait for the notice. "

At the regular press conference on1October 65438+10, Wang Wenbin, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, said that after China issued the overall plan of "B and B management" for COVID-19 infection and the Interim Measures for the Exchange of Chinese and Foreign Personnel, a few countries still insisted on adopting discriminatory entry restrictions on China, regardless of scientific facts and the actual epidemic situation in their own countries. China resolutely opposes this and has taken reciprocal measures. We once again call on the countries concerned to formulate epidemic prevention measures scientifically and properly based on facts, and should not take the opportunity to engage in political manipulation and discriminatory practices, nor should it affect normal personnel exchanges and cooperation between countries.

According to the decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, novel coronavirus infection in China will be changed from "Class B A tube" to "Class B tube" on June 8, 2023. This is another major adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policy since the beginning of 2020, three years after the implementation of prevention and control measures for Class A infection in COVID-19.

There is a scientific basis for the China government to make such a decision. Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission's Leading Group for Epidemic Response and Disposal, said that the pathogenicity of pathogens was weakened first. Second, after most people were vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, the active immunization level of Chinese people was significantly improved, and the vaccination ratio of high-risk groups also reached certain requirements; Thirdly, the level of prevention and control can be adjusted from various aspects, such as the means of medication and the preparation of some resources for severe treatment.

At present, most people in many provinces and cities in China have passed the COVID-19 infection period. On June 5438+1October 10, Henan Province, the most populous province in China, announced that the first wave of infection had passed smoothly.

The misuse of Chinese characters at Incheon Airport has caused controversy in South Korea.

Now ordinary Korean families and elders can write Chinese characters, including their own Chinese names. There are also some young people who can't even pronounce their Chinese names.

According to South Korea's "National Daily"165438 on October 4th, the Incheon Airport has set up a special passage for China people since the 2nd, because the South Korean government requires China immigrants to be tested for COVID-19 nucleic acid. However, it seems that many people in China can't understand the Chinese logo on this passage.

On the 2nd of this month, a Korean tourist arrived in South China and stood in front of a mislabeled Chinese placard, waiting for the entry map: Korean media.

"China was sent into the country"? What the hell does this mean? Don't say that China people don't understand. This incident caused controversy in South Korea, because some people in South Korea found that this sign was simply wrong.

Coincidentally, the Korean media also reported in 654381October 4th that after four months' investigation, the Korean cultural relics department found some cultural relics from Korea or its period in Cheongwadae, and Chinese characters were also found on the stone walls.

Chinese characters, in the Korean news, so Haisir might as well say something.

Let's look at the "China Entry" at Incheon Airport. Many people in China don't know what this means. But aren't there a line of English under these Chinese characters? "FromChina", plus the arrow symbol, Haisir believes that many people who leave Incheon generally understand it as letting China people line up at the place indicated by the arrow.

Incheon Airport in South Korea has set up a special entry channel for Koreans since 65438+10.2: Korean media.

Judging from the photos sent back from the scene, it seems that the team is in good order. What does this mean? Haisir felt that what he showed was undoubtedly the China people who were currently going to South Korea. Generally speaking, their quality is still quite high, they queue up consciously, and many people can understand English. Even if you don't know English, you can ask your compatriots for help.

However, it caused a discussion in Korea-

Clearly, "China was sent into China" is wrong! What's the matter? In fact, in Korean, the pronunciation of "zhe" and "zi" is almost the same. These Chinese characters are supposed to be "China expatriates". Even though the classical Chinese is high in content, if "China expatriates" is taken as a symbol, I believe many people in China can understand it.

However, Haisir would like to say that the logo of Incheon Airport seems a bit strange. At least I have seen Chinese signs at Jeju Island Airport, which are simplified characters, that is, standardized Chinese characters published by China are adopted. You know, the China immigrants' COVID-19 nucleic acid testing requirements introduced by the Korean government in June 5438+October 20231October are mainly aimed at Chinese mainland people. At this time, I marked it with traditional Chinese characters in classical Chinese, and wrote other words. Who are you going to show it to?

In Haisir's view, if Incheon Airport really wants to make corrections, it should remove this traditional Chinese sign in classical Chinese and replace it with a sign that says "Please take this passage away from China". This is the only way to correct mistakes sincerely!

Look at two newly discovered Chinese characters in Cheongwadae-one is Ying and the other is Xun. It looks like two ordinary words on a stone wall. Since the Korean cultural relics department said that it may have come from Korea or the Korean period, Haisir has the right to think that this judgment is correct.

The stone wall of Cheongwadae is engraved with the word "Xun": Korean Cultural Relics Department.

The stone wall of Cheongwadae is engraved with the word "Ying": Korean Cultural Relics Department.

South Korean media also claimed that Cheongwadae was founded in the Suzong period of the Koryo dynasty and was a monk for the Koryo dynasty. However, Haisir personally feels that these Shi Zhuan with Chinese characters were probably not built in this way during the Korean period. After all, the buildings in Cheongwadae have been renovated many times. It is possible to remove bricks from old buildings or walls and use them elsewhere.

As for the words "training" and "battalion", they largely reflect these two bricks, which may be related to military organizations. For example, in the military camp?

You know, in Korea or Korea, the official writing of Korea was still Chinese characters. It was not until after the Second World War that Pinyin was widely used. Therefore, it is normal for things on the peninsula to have Chinese characters for many years. If a "cultural relic" is found in Korea, it is basically a fake.

Who is embarrassed by the misuse of Chinese characters at Incheon Airport? There is no doubt that the Chinese characters on those old bricks in Cheongwadae can be answered! Korean history and culture are integrated into the cultural circle of Chinese characters. If someone in South Korea is unwilling to face up to this point, there will undoubtedly be all kinds of jokes.

Now ordinary Korean families and elders can write Chinese characters, including their own Chinese names. There are also some young people who can't even pronounce their Chinese names. Is there a future for Korea like this?

As far as history is concerned, South Korea has to face its own history after all. It is always embarrassing to look at the Chinese version of history books handed down from generation to generation in China, just like looking at foreign history. The only choice is to learn Chinese characters well, so that you will have more say in the East Asian cultural circle!
