[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] On the 6th, Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, said to President Moon Jae-in, "Stop worrying about China and restrict the entry of foreigners who have visited all regions of China."

On the same day, Hwang held a Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly in the morning and urged, "Strengthening the entry ban measures is said to be the most urgent issue."

He criticized, "The number of confirmed cases of Wuhan pneumonia has increased again. The public's anxiety is not excessive at all," and added, "Sin Yiming, the Chinese ambassador to Korea, even criticized the government's entry ban measures, which are so ineffective that it is embarrassing to call them measures, but the government and ruling party continue their submissive silence."

Hwang emphasized, "President Moon should stop worrying and restrict the entry of foreigners who have visited all regions of China," and "The president should prioritize the safety of the people over China."

He also raised his voice regarding Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae's decision not to disclose the indictment related to the Ulsan mayoral election interference. Hwang said, "This is self-incrimination," and urged, "It is time to clarify whether there are circumstances involving President Moon or if he has been directly informed."

He stated, "The public disclosure of suspect facts and photo lines, which were abused countless times for retaliation against the previous administration, have disappeared in the investigation of the Cho Kuk family. This time, they are even trying to hide the indictment to cover up allegations of election fraud," and added, "President Moon should not put up a puppet minister but should directly disclose the indictment and explain to the public." He further said, "It has become a situation where the president must explain. He should not dig his own grave but openly disclose and accept the judgment of the law."
