‘Chinese people’ blamed for Yoon’s impeachment at ruling party’s rallies in South Korea

Two lawmakers from Yoon’s conservative People Power Party (PPP) sparked controversy by claiming that Chinese residents in South Korea were openly supporting rallies calling for Yoon’s impeachment.

“Chinese people are at the forefront everywhere, supporting impeachment,” PPP lawmaker Kim Min-jeon said at a pro-Yoon rally near the president’s residence last week.
