People Power Party leader Kweon Seong-dong on the 22nd said, “The fundamental reason the Democratic Party of Korea opposes the revision of the Anti-Communist Law is due to pro-China servility,” and added that “Candidate Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party of Korea are consistently bowing to China, which is why China views South Korea lightly.”

During a policy meeting held in the National Assembly that day, Kweon mentioned the installation of Chinese structures in the West Sea and the unauthorized filming incident by Chinese individuals at domestic air force bases. He continued, “In the past, President Moon Jae-in said he would share the ‘Chinese dream.’ This candidate claimed that if he rubs his empty hands together and says ‘xie xie’ to the Chinese, everything would be fine,” and noted, “He has been silent and unable to say a word regarding the ongoing Chinese projects in the West Sea.”

He added, “On the 20th, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the installation of Chinese structures in the West Sea through an official commentary,” and urged, “If there is even a speck of sincerity in this stance, I strongly urge them to actively cooperate with the revision of the Anti-Communist Law.”

Focusing on this candidate's pledge of a ‘5,000 stock index,’ Kweon stated, “It is not something that a person who has caused unprecedented destruction of governance in our constitutional history and created an unparalleled ‘Korea discount’ status should be saying,” and added, “The fact that candidate Lee, who has four criminal records, claims the ‘one-strike-out’ policy is, in itself, a contradiction.”

He also mentioned, “Although he described himself as a ‘sleeping ant,’ when you look at his economic pledges, it is clear that he is a ‘anteater’ that will annihilate ant investors,” and questioned, “With corporations dismantled, illegal remittances to North Korea subcontracted, encouraging indefinite strikes, and leaking business secrets while adding more regulations on domestic corporations, how on earth can he achieve a stock index of 5,000?”
