The Truth of Korean Naturalization in China (Reprinted)

Koreans have experienced mobility in historical changes: they once came to China from North Korea to escape the war; Today, decades later, the "pilgrimage site" has become South Korea.

165438+1On October 29th, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun went to a Korean church in Seoul and visited 5,000 Koreans who had held hunger strikes in eight churches in Seoul since June 5438+0 14, demanding the restoration of Korean nationality. Earlier, the South Korean government rejected their request to restore Korean nationality.

Korean Dream of Korean People in China

Like the Li Guoguang family, many Koreans in China are envious of being able to go to Korea through proper channels and obtain nationality. "I am now in a decoration company in Incheon." 165438+1On October 30th, 25-year-old Li Guoguang told reporters by overseas telephone that he immigrated to South Korea from meihekou city, Jilin Province, China in June 2000. "Incheon is a big city in South Korea and its income is quite good."

Li Guoguang said that his parents fled from North Korea to Jilin during the Japanese invasion of North Korea, and they obtained China nationality after the founding of New China. "There are many Koreans like my father in our hometown in China." Li Guoguang's "hometown" includes Incheon in South Korea and Jilin in China. Li Guoguang's father originally opened a clinic of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in meihekou city, Jilin Province. "1990 During the Asian Games in Beijing, my father managed to go to Korea once. At that time, before China and South Korea established diplomatic relations, my father went quietly. He found relatives in Incheon. " Since then, Li's father has visited relatives in Korea many times. 1999 spring, he found his own Korean household registration book. At that time, Li Guoguang's parents had completed all the formalities of emigrating to Korea and restored Korean nationality. More than a year later, the Li Guoguang brothers also acquired Korean nationality. "Our family still has many relatives in Meihekou, and I will go back later." Li Guoguang said that although he lost his nationality in China, he had great affection for China, and he planned to invest in Jilin after earning money for several years. His girlfriend is also a Korean in Meihekou and has found relatives in Korea. "She is studying in Japan now and will come to Korea next year."

Special channel to enter Korea

Because of the long history, Li Guoguang's father was able to find the Korean household registration before 1949 10. After all, only a few people obtained Korean nationality through legal channels. Moreover, the original household registration in South Korea (now South Korea) is not the majority. Due to the differences in living conditions, Koreans from China, who were originally from North Korea (now North Korea), did not want to return to their hometown. On the contrary, many people in my hometown will try their best to make a living in China.

Many Koreans in China who yearn for South Korea choose other channels: true and false industrial training, business trip, marriage, fake invitation letters and passports, and smuggling.

According to the survey data of Heilongjiang Notary Office, from the beginning of 2003 to August, 2,742 people applied for Korean nationality through marriage, exceeding 2,490 in 2002. In this kind of marriage, there are many "fake marriages". Because the procedures are relatively simple and the risks are low, some South Korean underworld organizations target street sleepers, disabled people and single elderly people in Seoul, Shui Yuan and Mashan, paying them 3-6 million won as benefits, registering marriages with foreign women and helping them enter South Korea. These women have to pay 654.38+00-20 million won to the underworld.

In the first half of 2003 alone, among the 7 17 stowaways captured by the South Korean Marine Police, 58 1 person were Koreans in China, accounting for 8 1%.

Among the means of forging information to illegally enter the country, the most serious one is "household registration washing", that is, Koreans find the ownerless household registration (that is, the owner of the household registration is absent), and then find the China people who offer the right price, forge relevant documents, and solve the problem of illegal identity once and for all. A sample survey of11Korean nationals who have obtained Korean nationality and lived in China shows that 32% of them use forged Korean passports, resident registration certificates and invitations. Not long ago, South Korean police cracked a case of forging household registration. The South Korean criminal forged a passport and identity card for a China citizen using the name in the ownerless household registration book, and successfully obtained a visa. The agency fee is 5 million won.

After these Koreans from China came to Korea, most of them "worked illegally" while "waiting for their nationality". Most of them are engaged in "3D (dangerous, dirty and difficult) jobs", and they often meet Korean bosses who pay wages abnormally. Song, president of the China-China Exchange Association, which is committed to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of illegal workers in South Korea, said that since June 5438+ 10, 2000, the association has accepted 5,676 requests for help for wages, deposits and loans owed to illegal workers in South, involving a total amount of1845 million won, and * * solved 27 cases, recovering 36.89 for Korean workers.

According to South Korean official estimates, there are more than 200,000 Koreans from China illegally staying in South Korea. The South Korean government decided to expel all illegal foreign residents before June 65438+February 65438+June 2003, which aroused their strong protest.

According to the Korean Nationality Law, Koreans born before can apply for the restoration of nationality, but those born later must apply for naturalization, subject to the date of the establishment of the China Municipal Government (1949, 10). On February 7th, 65438, the Korean Church in Seoul submitted an application for 1000 to the Korean Ministry of Justice to restore Korean nationality to Korean nationals living in China. If the Ministry of Justice refuses to adopt it, these 654.38 million people will file a constitutional lawsuit. The Ministry of Justice165438+1October 24th indicated that only 1980 Koreans applied for nationality restoration last year, but by June 65438+1October this year, more than 2,000 people had applied for nationality restoration. The Ministry of Justice stated that "the application for restoration of nationality submitted by Koreans due to illegal residence is unacceptable, and the application of laws related to restoration of nationality and naturalization is no exception." The Korean church in Seoul said, "Almost no Koreans voluntarily give up Korean nationality. From the standpoint of compatriots' love, it is urgent to introduce policies to accommodate them. Even if the Ministry of Justice rejects the application, it can still avoid being forcibly deported during the constitutional proceedings, so it plans to file a constitutional lawsuit collectively. "
