South Korea: Mainland China tourists dropped by 67% in April. What do you think?

In fact, we have always liked Korean things. Whether it is cosmetics or celebrities, South Korea does very well and is worth learning from. Hallyu is also very popular in China. Many people choose South Korea when traveling abroad because they can play and buy things.

However, since the THAAD incident, the number of Chinese traveling to South Korea has decreased significantly. It can be seen from this incident that we are a united nation, and we have always had this direction since the THAAD incident. At that time, although the country did not introduce corresponding policies to boycott Korean products and did not require us not to travel to South Korea, we were controlling ourselves.

The THAAD incident lasted for a long time. When South Korea resolutely deployed, many Chinese merchants took the initiative to remove many Korean products. Such a large-scale alliance caused great economic losses to South Korea. Moreover, Chinese people account for the majority of people who usually travel to South Korea. They suddenly stopped traveling, which directly caused heavy economic losses to South Korea. Because there is no travel, many duty-free shops in South Korea are no longer visited and there are no shoppers.

Before this, news often reported that South Korean airports had a lot of people and duty-free shops were crowded. Even in the past, the news said that the Chinese people were not qualified and scattered the packaging boxes of duty-free shops directly on the ground. There was a lot of waste paper at the airport overnight. However, after the THAAD incident, the Korean news reported was that there was no one at the airport, and there were very few.

It’s a good thing that we agree to be open to the outside world, but in fact there are some things in South Korea that we should learn from, such as their country’s movies, TV series, and variety shows. They are indeed very good in this area. We should still learn more about other people's strengths and then improve ourselves. We cannot blindly copy other people's things and learn how to innovate while learning from experience.

Although we go to South Korea less now, and there is not so much Korean fever, but if you think about the many scenic spots in China, why have you not visited China yourself? Why would you choose to go abroad? South Korea also has excellent places. There is a reason why their cosmetics are so popular. There are too many fake products in China.

Even I, who don’t use cosmetics very much, will choose Korean or European and American cosmetics when I buy cosmetics. The brands I know are also foreign, and I don’t pay too much attention to some local products in China, because Afraid of counterfeiting, afraid of buying fake products. So in general, we should look at a problem from a dialectical perspective. We should learn from the good aspects and discard the bad ones.
