The presence of China in Seoul is increasing at an exponential rate these days. Chinese news is increasingly on the front page and signage with Chinese characters is displacing English. As I noted in a recent post, signage in the garden of the Shilla Hotel is exclusively in Chinese.
Perhaps the site of the Haechi (a Korean mythical beast) statue in front of the central police station near Gyeongbok Palace and the Chinese lion in front of the Chinese Culture Center hints at the subtle shifts taking place.
But the replacement of English with Chinese at the Jjimjilbang sauna, or the decision of Gangnam fortune tellers to advertise in Chinese give full testimony to the depth of the changes.
Interesting, maybe China and Japan will make peace before the US ends armed drones over China, a meeting in Seoul maybe.
Interesting, maybe China and Japan will cement brotherhood and drop war in order to protect themselves from the US as it will attack China to terrify it, only a matter of time.
