Yes, I am a Korean who is absolutely fed up with this kind of racist rhetoric. I am not defending China. I simply dislike right-wing conspiracy theorists like you.
> Koreans are deeply suspicious of Chinese especially those that claim Korean identity due to their loyalty is in question (and its not hard to see why)
That simply means that you are surrounded by people just like yourself. In fact, it is highly likely because if you are part of the Korean cultural sphere in the U.S., you are highly likely to attend a Korean church, and that is where election conspiracy theorists go around holding lecture tours.
> nobody is arguing that ccp operatives are infiltrating the middle man layer of baemin to sabotage food deliveries.
Baemin is one of the most coveted IT companies in Korea (however actually German company bought them and still operates. Now is Germany infiltrating into Korean economy?). It certainly seems you lack knowledge of the Korean economy.
> domestically chinese pseculators have made real estate unaffordable and filling university dorm rooms meant for koreans while they weather the heat and humidity in tiny goshiwons.
Those Chinese people are the ones living in cheap flats on the upper floor of a lamb skewer shop in Daerim-dong. [0] Among the young Koreans I know, there is no one who is angry about not being able to buy a house in such a place. And blame the university authorities for not building enough dormitories. Are you saying that the mere fact that Chinese international students are coming is the problem?
You could talk endlessly about the impact China is having on the Korean capital market. This is because it has actually happened, and it continues to happen. China's economy is the second largest in the world, while Korea's is only one-tenth the size. Naturally, it is bound to have an impact. As I said, investing in the capital market and 'intertwined/injected into all facet of south korean society' are completely different things. Perhaps you just think that the very existence of Chinese people and Chinese culture is 'infiltration'. Just like the right-wingers in Japan who get angry about the Zainichi shadow government simply because Korean is written on subway station signs.
Anyway, you interrogated me by asking, "So, are you Chinese?" Looking at this, it seems that whatever I say would be meaningless, and it has been very clearly revealed to the sane HN users what kind of person you are.
