As Korea University students put up posters supporting Hong Kong protesters, Chinese students vandalized the posters. One of the phrases says, "The mother of the person who supports the protesters is a comfort woman."

Imagine being Chinese and making a comfort woman joke.

Another clash between SKorean and Mainland Chinese students. This time in Hanyang University. Chinese students wrote notes saying "Long Live Kim Jong Un" and "Dokdo is Japanese territory."

Suddenly, KJU isn't a fat pig, and the Chinese are pro-Japanese. https://m.chosun.com/news/article.amp.html?sname=news&contid=2019111302952&__twitter_impression=true

I'd say politics makes for strange bedfellows if it weren't for the fact that these Mainland Chinese students are as pro-Japanese as they are pro-American.

They're trolling. Nothing more, nothing less.

And the reason for their vulgarity? Because SKorean students are standing up for principle and throwing support behind an oppressed people against a trigger-happy authoritarian government.

The SKorean government may be too afraid to stand up to Beijing, but especially younger SKoreans who have experienced first-hand the power of a persistent people-led protest movement understand where their loyalties lie - freedom and democracy.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I stand with the people of Hong Kong.
