Koreans Find Chinese Envoy, Dai Binnuo, To Be Rude During His Visit

From The Marmot's Hole:

Dai Bingguo rude during Korea visit: report


by Robert Koehler on November 30, 2010



Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger might have called Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo “an outstanding personality” and former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski noted that he was “a superb individual,” but after Dai visited Seoul last weekend, it seems Koreans found him undiplomatic and rude.



Most problematic was that President Lee told Dai during their meeting that he opposed holding a round of six-party talks, but just five hours later, China made a public proposal for talks anyway.



Kinda fun to read, especially after looking at the comments made about China’s chief negotiator for the Six Party Talks, Wu Dawei, as revealed in WikiLeaks. Or reading about Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi (see here and here). Or about UN undersecretary general for Economic and Social Affairs Sha Zukang
