Seoul haze shrouds South Koreans claim 3 million won from Beijing

　　South Korea's smog has caused anxiety among the people of the country in recent days, and some people pointed their finger at China. Yonhap News Agency said on the 5th that Choi Lu-He and lawyer An Gengzai, chairman of the "Green South Korea Fund", known as the pioneer of South Korea's environmentalism, sued the Beijing and Seoul governments in the Seoul Central District Court on the same day, demanding compensation for the mental harm caused to them by dust pollution.

　　There were five other people involved in the joint prosecution. In the indictment, they said that "as a member of the international community, China has the responsibility to keep pollutants at an acceptable level", and South Korea has not been able to determine the source of pollutants. "The purpose of the lawsuit is to promote the discovery of the origin of pollution. South Korea and China should work together to lead Asia to a new era." They claimed 3 million won (about 18,000 yuan) from the Beijing and Seoul governments respectively.

　　When talking about the source of South Korean pollutants, some Korean media inertially think of China. Yonhap News Agency said on the 5th that in recent years, South Korea's air quality has been deteriorating, and polluted particulate matter "is believed to be mainly from the desert areas in western China, and there is also local smog." A few days ago, many Korean media took a report out of context and reported a news that "research said that China's smog caused premature deaths of more than 30,000 people in South Korea and Japan." After Zhang Qiang, a professor at the Department of Earth Systems Science at Tsinghua University, clarified the Global Times on this, many Korean media still had misleading reports.

　　Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying responded to a question about "South Korea and Japanese people expressing dissatisfaction with the spread of air pollution in China" in March, saying that the air pollution issue is an issue that the Chinese government is currently making great efforts to deal with. The Chinese government's determination to enable the Chinese people to enjoy more blue skies and clean air as soon as possible is unwavering, and solving this problem also requires a process. Hua Chunying said that as for whether China's air pollution affects neighboring countries, it requires scientific and professional research and demonstration. China's environmental protection department maintains close communication with other countries, including neighboring countries. (Source of this article: Global Times)
