Professor Seo Gilsu, known for his criticism of China's Northeast Project (Dongbei Gongcheng), was denied entry at Shenyang Airport in China. He was traveling with a group to visit Goguryeo historical sites. Seo has criticized China's claims that Korea's ancient Goguryeo kingdom was part of Chinese history, a project aimed at distorting historical narratives. Following his denial, the group experienced monitoring and pressure from Chinese authorities, raising concerns over the rigidity of China's foreign policies under Xi Jinping's leadership. This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding historical interpretations between South Korea and China.
