President Yun Seok-yeol has intensified confrontation with China and Russia by defining the Korean War as an “invasion of a free Korea by communists,” calling it a “North Korean nuclear threat to world peace.”
President Yoon defined the Korean War as a war between ‘liberalism’ and ‘communism’ as “a heroic spirit that protected a free Republic of Korea from aggression by communists” in his memorial service on Memorial Day on the 6th.
"North Korea's nuclear weapons and missiles are reaching a level that threatens peace not only on the Korean Peninsula, but also in Northeast Asia and the world," President Yun said in his remembrance speech. The heroic spirits of the country who protected the country and those who sacrificed their lives to protect the lives of the people are sleeping together,” he said.
In particular, President Yoon formalized the 'North Korean threat deterrence', saying, "We will continue to equip ourselves with more fundamental and practical security capabilities while deterring North Korea's nuclear and missile threats."
President Yoon previously said in his Gwangju May 18 commemoration address, “We remember the protests of May 42 years ago, when the values of liberal democracy and human rights were defended with blood. Facing the pain of that day head-on, we have developed liberal democracy in this land. Therefore, the spirit of May, which defended liberal democracy with blood, is the cornerstone of national unity.”
On the 26th of last month, Chinese ambassador to the UN, Zhang Jun, said, "How to resolve the Korean Peninsula issue has nothing to do with whether or not the Security Council adopts a new resolution. "If anyone wants to spread the flames of war in Northeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula, China will have no choice but to take decisive measures," he said.
China uses the title of 'Anti-American Aid War' for the Korean War.
