What is the Lotte incident?

To put it simply, the Lotte incident refers to the fact that South Korea's Lotte Group gave its golf courses to the South Korean government to deploy the THAAD system, which seriously threatened regional security in Northeast my country and caused people across the country to collectively boycott Lotte Supermarket.

Overview of the incident:

On February 27, 2017, the Board of Directors of South Korea's Lotte Group made a decision and agreed to sign an agreement with the Korean military on the deployment land of the "THAAD" anti-missile system. Now that Lotte Group has made the decision to exchange land, the entry of "THAAD" into South Korea, which seriously threatens the security of the entire Northeast Asia, will move from theoretical planning to the deployment and operation stage. "THAAD" stands for the U.S. land-based anti-missile terminal high-altitude area defense system. It consists of a command system, an interception system, a launch system, a radar and its supporting equipment. In terms of strategic role, "THAAD" is not a purely passive defensive "shield", but a "spear" with active strategic offensive weapons.

Because North and South Korea are close together, and the scope of THAAD protection does not include Seoul, the entry of "THAAD" into South Korea will not only fail to protect South Korea's homeland security, but will intensify the North Korean nuclear issue and conflicts on the Korean Peninsula. Confrontation will turn South Korea into a "tinder box" that may explode at any time. The deployment of "THAAD" to South Korea not only openly opposes the Chinese people, but also seriously undermines the regional strategic balance, damages the strategic security interests of Northeast Asian countries, and damages the basis of mutual trust between China, the United States, Russia and the United States. Behind the entry of THAAD into South Korea lies the political, cultural, and economic chaos in South Korea as well as the malicious conspiracy and instigation of the United States and Japan.

Currently, 79 of South Korea’s Lotte Group’s 99 Lotte supermarkets in China have temporarily closed down, leaving only one-fifth of the stores still open. Last week, more than 60 Lotte Mart stores received notices to suspend operations because they failed to pass China's fire safety inspection. More than ten Lotte Mart stores have also ceased operations on their own.

“The Chinese people do not believe in evil and are not afraid of evil. They do not stir up trouble and are not afraid of trouble. No foreign country should expect us to trade with our core interests or swallow any information that damages our country’s sovereignty, security, and development interests. "The bitter pill". Regarding the security threat caused by "THAAD" entering South Korea, China and Russia have many countermeasures. It can be seen that "THAAD" entering South Korea is like "letting a wolf into the house" and putting itself in danger. At this critical moment, people of insight in South Korea should be alert, reflect and recognize who is a friend and who is an enemy. The 1.3 billion Chinese people need to unite as one and say no to Lotte with strong determination and patriotic consumption choices. South Korea says no to "THAAD" which undermines the security situation in Northeast Asia and the trend of world peace and development! Relevant departments also need to prepare a plan to deal with the entry of "THAAD" into South Korea, increase the ability to attack with multiple motives, resolutely safeguard the results of reform and opening up, and convey to the world that "when friends come, there is good wine, and when wolves come, there are shotguns." Majestic and confident!

Boycott Lotte, safeguard the security of the motherland, and praise everyone’s actions!
