South Korea Embarrassed at the UN: China's Evidence of Cultural Theft

South Korea has been embarrassed at the United Nations this time! China submitted 137 pieces of evidence to the UN, proving that South Korea has been stealing Chinese culture for years. If they can't provide materials in a month and a half, they'll be ridiculed worldwide!

For years, South Korea has relied on cultural editing tactics, packaging Chinese traditional elements as their own treasures to apply for heritage status. This time, they've hit a brick wall.

On May 30th, we presented 137 solid pieces of evidence, exposing South Korea's long-standing theft of Chinese culture. Even UNESCO couldn't stand it and issued a final ultimatum to South Korea, demanding they provide genuine evidence within 45 days, or their stolen cultural heritage projects would be revoked.

As the July 15th deadline passed, the materials submitted by South Korea were merely useless modern photos and documents, failing to provide ancestral evidence, thus embarrassing themselves globally!

Speaking of South Korea's actions, it's truly infuriating. They've acted like cultural thieves over the years, taking our ancestors' creations, renaming and repackaging them, claiming them as their own.

What's even more infuriating is that after their successful heritage applications, many internationally believe the Dragon Boat Festival is Korean, while our own festival is seen as a follower, which is a complete reversal of truth!

Regarding kimchi, our Shandong spicy cabbage has been pickled for over a thousand years, from Tang Dynasty vinegar celery to modern fermentation techniques, passed down through generations. South Korea took our kimchi techniques, added some so-called Korean characteristics, and claimed it as their own creation, even applying for heritage status at the UN.

Our experts tested it, finding an 88% similarity between Korean kimchi and our Shandong spicy cabbage strains. Even a 1910 Korean newspaper admitted they learned from our Yanjing pickling methods. It's like someone stealing your heirloom and boasting it's their family tradition—infuriating, isn't it?

The most laughable part is South Korea's carpentry skills. China's mortise and tenon structures have existed since the Hemudu site 7,000 years ago, with the Northern Song Dynasty's "Yingzao Fashi" detailing 27 procedures.

South Korea took our techniques, and even 3D modeling shows 19 of their 27 procedures are identical to ours, including the bucket arch structure from Shanxi Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. This isn't heritage application; it's blatant plagiarism!

China has gone all out this time, bringing out our treasures, including 43 ancient texts with records from the Sui Dynasty to the Joseon Dynasty, clearly documented in black and white, along with archaeological findings. Tang Dynasty masks unearthed in Hubei predate Korea's by over a thousand years, and the bacterial community in Mawangdui Han tomb's bean paste jars is identical to Korean soybean paste.

We've employed high-tech methods, using DNA testing, blockchain documentation, and 3D restoration technology to shatter Korea's flawed evidence. For instance, Korea's heritage application used an ancient painting of a lantern festival, which surprisingly contained Chang'an West Market's inscription, revealing they modified our Tang Dynasty blueprint without erasing "Chang'an."

South Korea is truly in a bind now. Among the 600-page materials they submitted, 73% are modern activity photos and policy documents, lacking original documents before the 16th century.

Even more embarrassing is their own historical records admitting many customs were learned from us, like the Ming Dynasty Korean envoy's "Pyohaerok," stating Dragon Boat rituals were based on Ming Dynasty rites.

South Korea's kimchi industry is now in chaos, with the EU halting imports and switching to ours, directly losing $1.7 billion. Gangneung's Dragon Boat Festival visitor numbers plummeted by 47%, and Korean companies thriving on cultural theft are now facing the consequences.

Some might say, "It's just a few cultural projects, why involve the UN?" But you don't understand—culture is like a person's roots. If stolen, where does our Chinese dignity go?

Over the years, South Korea's cultural theft has created a non-heritage industry with an annual output value of 63 billion yuan, even capturing one-fifth of the US frozen dumpling market. They even want to apply for paper-making heritage status. If unchecked, what will remain of our ancestors' creations?

This incident serves as a wake-up call: cultural protection is no small matter and requires strong measures. China now has 44 human heritage projects, ranking first globally, not just by words. From oracle bones to characters, from bronze to porcelain, we have a complete inheritance chain, strengthened by high-tech support. Anyone attempting to steal our culture must first confront our evidence!

Now we're waiting for the UN's final decision. If South Korea fails to provide genuine materials, their five heritage projects will be revoked, and they'll have to pay $230 million in compensation.

More seriously, they might be placed on a cultural integrity watchlist, requiring double scrutiny for future heritage applications. If this succeeds, it's not just South Korea's embarrassment but also setting a global precedent: culture isn't something you can steal, and historical truth will never be concealed!

We Chinese are reasonable, but if someone tries to trample on us, we won't tolerate it. This UN counterattack demonstrates to the world how deeply rooted our culture is and our determination to protect it! Those still thinking of stealing our culture should abandon the idea—our ancestors' treasures are not for anyone to take!
