The influence of emotional diffusion, South Korean students studying in China last year decreased by nearly half a year ago.Experts believe that the anti -China emotions of the South Korean people should be more cautious when discussing the sensitive issues of China and South Korea in discussing China and South Korea.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education of Korea, compared with 2019, the number of Korean students studying in the United States last year decreased by 9 %, a decrease of 7 % of studying in Japan, a decrease of 22 % of studying in Australia, and going to Australia.China has decreased by 47 %.
In 2019, South Korean students studying in China were 50,000 600, which was similar to the number of students in the United States; but in 2020 and 2021, they decreased to 47,146 and 26,949, respectively.
A decrease in Korean students studying in China, one of the reasons is that the demand for language training has fallen sharply.In 2020, there were more than 27,000 language students who went to China to study in China, and it suddenly reduced to 9,600 in 2021.
Due to the relatively low cost of Korean students studying in China, many college students in the past like to go to China for study language.
According to statistics, in 2008, more than 40,000 Korean students signed up for the language training course for Chinese universities.After the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, the immigration procedures for going to China became complicated. Koreans began to believe that learning Chinese in tuition classes in South Korea is sufficient. There is no need to go to China.
It is worth noting that the anti -China ’s anti -China’ s anti -China ’s anti -China is spreading in South Korea, and the demand for learning Chinese or studying in China is also reduced.
Just five years ago, the Chinese department of Korean universities was a popular major. The admission score line of the Chinese Department in the language school was the highest, but in 2022, it became the lowest major in admission scores.
Public opinion believes that during the Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean people complained that the short -track speed skating judgment was unfairly, the controversy between kimchi and Hanbok between China and South Korea, only the cause of anti -China emotions surfaced.In 2002, the "Northeast Project" carried out by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences involved the history of Goguryeo in South Korea. After that, China's sandstorms have caused Koreans' feelings for China.
Anti -China mood was fermented after deploying the Sade anti -missile system in South Korea in 2016, and further deteriorating with the outbreak of the epidemic.
The professor of the Department of Sociology of the University of Chengjun Pavilion, Ting Yu pointed out that if the two countries have accumulated various contradictions, both countries will suffer losses.
He said that when sensitive issues occur, politicians should not immediately express their speech in response to national anger; considering the relationship between the two countries, they should show a more cautious attitude towards China and South Korea.
Professor Jin Lun Gan, a professor at the Department of Sociology at the University of Korea, also said that media reports should not be too emotional, but should be objectively analyzed and proposed the various impacts brought about by the deterioration of Sino -South Korean relations.
