"It was stated that Article 307-2 (Defamation against a specific group) and Article 311-2 (Insult against a specific group) of the Criminal Act will be newly established.
Article 307-2 stipulates that 'Anyone who publicly defames a specific country, its nationals, or a specific race by stating false facts shall be punished by imprisonment for up to 5 years, suspension of qualifications for up to 10 years, or a fine of up to 10 million won.'
Article 311-2 states that 'Anyone who publicly insults a specific country, its nationals, or a specific race shall be punished by imprisonment or detention for up to 1 year or a fine of up to 2 million won.'"
They titled the article as if the law banning hate and discrimination against specific countries or ethnicities was made for China.
While it’s true that the controversy began with anti-China protests, the bill itself contains no such provisions.
It’s simply a law that rightly prohibits personal attacks against specific groups.
Yet when reporting on this, they also brought up China again in the context of nuclear submarines to criticize the government. It’s as if their heads are full of flowers.
