South Koreans' Violence
Against Chinese
On
Friday morning (July 30, 2010), about 300
Chinese workers from Woojeon Corp (南朝鲜宇田株式会社) held a mass rally in
Dongwan City (东莞市), Guangdong Province,
protesting against South Koreans' violence against Chinese.
Woojeon
Corp is a South Korean company operating in
Silver Lake Industry Park (银湖工业园) in Dongwan's Xiegang
Township (谢岗镇). Last Tuesday (July 27,
2010) early morning at about 4am, a South
Korean manager brutally knocked a Chinese
worker to the floor for some minor
mistakes made, sat on the victim's body
and bashed him for 20 minutes, causing
head, eye and body injuries to the
Chinese worker.
South Koreans are known to have a
culture of violence with a history of assisting Japanese Army in the massacre in Nanjing and other Chinese cities
during the WWII, thus are by no means to
be popular among the general population
in China. But what drove the Chinese to
walk off jobs and marched the streets
demanding justice are the way that South
Korean company and local town authority
approached the incident, despite this was
not the first time that South Koreans
bullied the local workers.
It
is said that the victim was tricked by
the South Korean company and the local
Chinese authority into signing an
agreement when he was still lying on the
floor bleeding. The agreement states that
he would accept a settlement with
compensation and would not take an legal
action against his perpetrator. Later on
when he realised what he had been made to
do, he asked to return the money and
decided to seek justice, but his demand
was rejected.
The
rally was eventually dispersed by police
late that afternoon, but the dispute has
not yet been resolved and the justice is
still waiting to be served.
