The southern resort island of Jeju seeks to attract Chinese tourists again by restoring direct flights between the island and China after the Korean government resumed issuing short-term visas to foreign arrivals from China starting Saturday. The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced via a press release, Friday, that it “welcomes” the government s decision to reissue short-term visas.
President Yoon Suk Yeol criticized the previous Moon Jae-in administration for relying on a “fake peace” with North Korea and weakening the country s preparedness to defend itself against various threats from the North.
