30 Korean Students Protest In Front of Chinese Embassy in Seoul
This is the biggest protest I have seen yet by Koreans against China despite all the provocations made by them against the ROK:
Some 30 Korean university students supporting the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement rallied against the Chinese government’s crackdown on Hong Kong protesters Tuesday in front of the Chinese Embassy in Myeong-dong, central Seoul.
A coalition of six groups composed of mostly Korean university students stood nearly 30 meters (98 feet) away from the Chinese Embassy on Tuesday morning and read out a joint statement calling on Beijing to stop its “hard-line crackdown” on “peaceful Hong Kong protesters.”
The students also took issue with a formal statement that the Chinese Embassy released last Friday, accusing the embassy and the Chinese government of “denigrating” the Hong Kong movement by backing Chinese students in Korea who tore down pro-Hong Kong banners and posters hung by Korean students on school campuses.

You can read more at the link, but the Chinese embassy literally sponsored Chinese thugs to go and beat up Koreans in Seoul back in 2008 who were protesting in support of Tibet. If that did not draw a strong backlash the fact that Chinese students are tearing down banners and roughing up Korean students won’t either.
