Will Koreans give up protesting against the deployment of Sadr?

On the morning of the 7th, the US military stationed in South Korea forcibly transported four "Sade" launch vehicles to the Xingzhou base to complete the temporary deployment of the "Sade" system. After a night of confrontation with the police, South Korean anti-Sade people gathered in Xingzhou witnessed the "Sade" equipment being transported into the deployment site, and many people sat on the ground crying. The reporters who arrived at the scene on the 7th felt their grief and determination.

Before the "Sade" equipment was shipped to the deployment site, more than 400 anti-Sade people confronted more than 8,000 police officers all night. At about 5: 30 am on the 7th, more than 20 people broke through the police blockade and tried to block the "Sade" equipment. In order to prevent being dispersed by the police, they tied the bodies together with ropes, and a citizen insisted on lying under the truck for more than two hours. Jin Guangzhe is one of these more than 20 people. When the reporter saw him on the afternoon of the 7th, he almost had no strength to speak. "There are so many policemen that we can't stop them at all. They just took us away by force. "

Anti-"Sade" people gathered in Shaocheng Village of Xingzhou described to reporters on the 7th that there were many elderly villagers in the protest crowd, and people were constantly injured and fainted at the scene. The police finally forced the demonstrators to disperse. It is reported that more than 20 people were taken to hospital because of injuries.

In Shaocheng Village Auditorium, where local people often hold anti-Sade demonstrations, the reporter saw nearby ruins, broken tents, villagers' protest slogans, police shields and yellow vests scattered all over the place. "Just like fighting!" Liang Zhenxi, a Jeollabuk-do citizen who is cleaning up the mess on the road, described what happened earlier that day. She told reporters, "I stayed up all night and witnessed the whole process. More than 8000 policemen surrounded us. We have tried our best to fight, but there is really nothing we can do. "

Most people the reporter met in Xingzhou were depressed and exhausted. Park Tiezhu, director of the comprehensive situation room in Shaocheng, told reporters that the government ignored the people's demands, which made the local people very disappointed. "We will not be discouraged and the protest will not stop. In the future, we will continue to go to Cheongwadae and the Ministry of National Defense to protest until the government makes the right decision. "

In the face of strong opposition from the Korean people, the South Korean government just kept saying on the 7th that "the deployment of Sadr is inevitable". South Korean Defense Minister Song Wuyong said on the 7th that the temporary deployment of the remaining four "Sade" launch vehicles is an inevitable measure to supplement the joint anti-missile forces of South Korea and the United States. South Korean Prime Minister Lee Luoyuan said on the 7th that "this is an inevitable choice to protect the lives and safety of Korean nationals". South Korean Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Geng Shuang reiterated China's firm opposition to the deployment of "Sade" by the United States in southern China on the 7th. He said that China has made solemn representations to the ROK, urging the US and South Korea to pay attention to the security interests and concerns of China and other countries in the region, immediately stop the deployment process and remove relevant equipment.
