If there are baseless rumors, there will be people who fan the flames.
In recent days, the Korean media has been promoting a rumor, saying that "China is using a honey trap to infiltrate South Korea" and interfere in South Korea's internal affairs. The Chinese Embassy in South Korea has refuted this and pointed out that this statement is a complete rumor.
Since there are rumors, there must be people who spread them. So who is behind this clumsy rumor and the black hand that destroys China-South Korea relations?
South Korea and the United States Presidential Meeting
In fact, I didn’t expect to find out who the culprit was at first. After all, people are professional in spreading rumors, so they should be somewhat concealed. Just out of curiosity, I searched for this so-called "China uses a honey trap to infiltrate South Korea" rumor to see what it specifically refers to. Who would have thought that there would be unexpected gains.
Let me start from the beginning.
According to Korean media reports, the incident behind this "honey trap" rumor directly points to the 2018 scandal in which Ahn Hee-jung, the governor of Chungcheongnam-do Province in South Korea, was exposed as sexually assaulting a female secretary.
A few words of popular science here. The so-called " Chungcheongnam-do " is actually a local administrative unit in South Korea, which is approximately equivalent to a certain province in the country. "Governor" is an official position, which is approximately equivalent to provincial governor .
Ahn Hee-jung was the former "big boss" of South Korea's Common Democratic Party, which was the party of former South Korean President Moon Jae-in. He was once called "Korean Obama" and was once a "big shot" qualified to run for South Korea's president.
But as we all know, among the countries that pursue " American democracy ", Korean politics is particularly "dirty", and the struggle is very fierce.
Ahn Hee-jung
When Ahn Hee-jung was exposed in the sexual assault scandal in 2018, it was at a time when gender polarization in South Korea was serious and the feminist movement "MeToo" from the United States was at its strongest.
In a nutshell, An Xi was caught in the crossfire. As soon as the sexual assault scandal came out, not only did his political life end, but he was also sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison.
This originally had nothing to do with China, but recently some South Korean media fabricated it out of thin air, saying that before An Hee Jung stepped down, Chinese personnel used a "honey trap" to target him and interfere in South Korea's internal affairs.
Not to mention whether South Korea's "governor", who has never won any intra-party competition, can interfere in South Korea's internal affairs. Even if he can, more than 4 years have passed since An Hee Jung exposed the sexual assault scandal. Why is this news only revealed now?
Ahn Hee-jung’s resignation at that time was clearly the result of South Korea’s political struggle. Those competitors who once wanted to bring down Ahn Hee-jung even resorted to the "sexual assault scandal" method, but they chose to ignore the problem of "being infiltrated by China using a honey trap" that could directly beat him to death with a stick and never make him stand up again. This is somewhat insulting to the IQ of South Korean politicians.
So obviously, this is a far-fetched rumor. As for why he made this rumor instead of other rumors, there is a reason, because Koreans love to believe this.

html Under the plutocratic politics for more than 20 years, sex scandals have easily affected the nerves of Koreans and been accepted by the people at the bottom. This can be confirmed through Korean movies. For example, in "Iron Rain 2", there is a similar scene.has figured out the content of the rumor and why he chose this angle to spread the rumor. The next question is who is spreading the rumor.
In fact, the core of this wave of rumors at the beginning was not the so-called "China used a beauty trap to infiltrate South Korea", but that a Chinese restaurant in Seoul was China's "overseas police station" in South Korea, responsible for collecting intelligence.
You can tell from the name "overseas police station" that this thing is not a word invented by Orientals at all. South Korea and Japan belong to the Chinese cultural circle. Even if rumors are spread, it is impossible to describe something like an intelligence station as an "overseas police station". It does not conform to Eastern thinking and language habits.
is obviously a vocabulary created by Western institutions and was later introduced by Korean media, so the " translation " is retained.
continued to search along the name of "overseas police station", and sure enough found a "NGO".
As soon as I saw the three letters "NGO", I knew something big was coming. The so-called "NGO" literally translates to " non-governmental organization ". Why should a good organization emphasize that it is "non-governmental"? There are so many non-governmental multinational companies. Which one specifically adds the suffix "NGO" to its name?

So the answer is very simple. Most of the so-called "NGOs" in the West are tools used by the United States to carry out color revolutions around the world. Because it wants to avoid being eliminated as the spy agency of a hostile country, it particularly emphasizes its "non-governmental attributes" and often disguises itself as a public welfare organization.
The black hand behind the term "overseas police station" is an NGO called "Protection Guard" . According to its official website, is an organization founded in 2016 and headquartered in Spain. Its main business is "committed to the protection of human rights in some Asian countries." That's how amazing
is, an organization headquartered in Spain, whose main business is to help some Asian countries "protect human rights." As soon as the words "protect human rights" came out, it basically confirmed the attributes of the US spy agency.
The so-called "overseas police station" was first proposed by this organization. They not only accused China of setting up "overseas police stations" in South Korea, but also said that China has many "overseas police stations" in other countries around the world. They don't know if the national security departments of these countries are not as well-informed as an NGO.
Of course, if the source of this news is a rumor, we have to admit that the "Protection Defenders" organization is particularly awesome.
is not finished yet. If you follow the clues of the "Protection Defenders" organization, you will find that the reason why it moved its headquarters to Europe in 2016 was because in 2016, a "major operation" by China arrested and imprisoned several members.
Around 2016, it was the time when , the US intelligence agency , lamented that it was too difficult to penetrate into mainland China, so everyone should be able to guess why they were arrested and deported.
According to the official website of the "Protection Defenders" organization, its origin is an organization jointly founded in Beijing in 2009 by a Swede named Peter Dahlin, an American named Michael Custer, and several "Chinese human rights defenders", dedicated to China's "human rights movement."
There are dozens of intelligence agencies in the United States, some of which are responsible for carrying out color revolutions.
At this point, the mastermind behind the rumor about South Korea has almost nakedly appeared in front of us.
A US spy agency that has been carrying out a "color revolution" in China since 2009 was hit by the Chinese government's counterintelligence work around 2016 and had to move its headquarters to Spain. But they are still engaged in the task of smearing and slandering China.
In recent times, because the US "Inflation Reduction Act" has seriously damaged the interests of South Korea, the European Union and other allies, it has prompted these countries to move closer to China. In order to drive a wedge between China, South Korea, and EU countries, this organization called "Protection Guards" carefully fabricated the rumor of an "overseas police station."
But this is not easy to believe, and it is also suspected of belittling the intelligence agencies of the country where it is located. Therefore, it is far-fetched and came up with a so-called "honey trap" rumor, using South Korea's developed love culture to spread the rumors they want to spread and drive a wedge between China and South Korea.
I have to say that, apart from being launched too hastily and leaving a lot of tailwinds, the efficiency and technology of this wave of rumor-mongering in the United States is still very high. The name "NGO" is well-deserved!
Unfortunately, Asians are different from Americans. China, Japan and South Korea are all "kings of books". I dare not say that in other aspects, they are still better than the United States in terms of popular education. People who have a little bit of critical thinking will find this thing awkward at first glance. When they feel awkward, they want to find out the truth. Once they check, the fox tail of the United States is exposed.
