Former South Korean ruling party leader: ”Lee Jae-myung has nothing to say about China's 'Yellow Sea Project'” ”If it were Japan...”

On the 25th, Han Dong-hoon, former head of the ruling People Power Party, said, "Lee Jae-myung, head of the Democratic Party of Korea, said nothing about China's 'West Sea Project.'
"I'm not going to say anything," he said, criticizing China for trying to settle things by just saying, "Thank you, thank you."
"If Japan had done something similar in the East Sea, there would have been 'No Japan' campaigns and a barrage of anti-Japanese messages," he wrote.
South Korean intelligence authorities have captured footage of China installing steel structures in the Provisional Measures Zone (PMZ) in the Yellow Sea since April last year.
The Yellow Sea PMZ is part of the area where the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of China and South Korea overlap, and the two governments jointly manage fishery resources. Activities such as the construction of facilities and resource development, except for navigation and fishing, are prohibited.
"If things continue as they are, there is a danger that China will insist that the West Sea is theirs," Han said.
He continued, "The 28th of this month is West Sea Day. There is no difference between the ruling and opposition parties in the face of provocations that threaten our sovereignty."
"The Democratic Party, together with the leader, must clearly state its position."
