As we reflect on the events of December 3, 2024, in South Korea, it's clear that the international community got one crucial thing wrong: President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law was not a coup d'etat, but rather a desperate attempt to preserve democracy in the face of an impending "legislative dictatorship" and "slow-motion coup."

What if, instead of a power-hungry president, we're looking at a situation orchestrated by suspected Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents operating in South Korea and China? The truth is out there, hidden behind the façade of partisan politics. This is not just a struggle between conservatives and liberals; it's an existential battle for South Korea's very soul – will it remain a free nation or become a vassal state of China?

To understand this conflict, let's take a step back and examine President Yoon's actions while in office. He chose to strengthen ties with the West, restoring the US-South Korea Alliance and attending NATO summits for three consecutive years. In response, the Chinese government issued a stark warning: South Korea would pay the price.

It seems that Yoon's impeachment was exactly that – the price for standing up against China's growing influence. In contrast, his successor, Lee Jae Myung, has openly favored Beijing, refusing NATO invitations and pushing through hate speech laws that could be used to silence critics of China's actions.

The frontlines of this "System War" are the ballot boxes. As President Donald Trump noted on Truth Social, election integrity is a global issue, and South Korea is no exception. The opposition's approximately 29 impeachment motions were merely a smokescreen – a desperate attempt by a corrupt cartel to cover up years of election fraud allegations.

Statistics and physical irregularities are clear: Professor Walter Mebane's analysis of the 2020 general election revealed anomalies suggesting that around 7% of votes may have been manipulated. During court-ordered recounts, observers discovered "ghost votes" – ballots so pristine they looked like new banknotes.

The voting machinery itself is compromised, as former US Ambassador Nikki Haley warned about machines supplied by South Korea being used in the Congo and Iraq. Yet, the National Election Commission (NEC) and mainstream media have successfully labeled any citizen demanding a fair audit as a conspiracy theorist.

South Korea's structural flaws are alarming: a sitting Supreme Court Justice often doubles as the Election Commission Chairperson, creating a legal loop where the arbiter of the election might as well be judging his own case. The NEC has been exposed for its morally bankrupt practices, including over 1,200 cases of "hereditary hiring" and nepotism within its ranks.

But there's something even more disturbing lurking in the shadows – the "Red Shadow" of China. Consider this: in 2017, the NEC posted a video on its official YouTube channel highlighting Wang Huning, then-CCP Politburo member at the center of China's ideological subversion operations. Why would an election body in a free democracy highlight a mastermind of communist propaganda?

The answer may lie in the computer servers that handle election results run by NEC during elections. In a parliamentary audit, the NEC's Secretary-General admitted an alarming fact: during early voting, the secure election network was not separated from the nation's conventional open external networks – the back door was wide open for hacking and data manipulation.

Intelligence reviews have confirmed that NEC servers are vulnerable to potential intrusion by North Korean and Chinese hackers. If these suspicions aren't cleared, South Korea faces a grim future as a Chinese vassal state.

We urge the Trump administration and American people not to be fooled by South Korea's surface-level stability. A desperate war for freedom is raging in the Korean Peninsula, and suspected election fraud linked to Chinese influence must be addressed. If not, the US will lose a key partner in the Indo-Pacific region, and South Korea will become a puppet regime answering only to China.

The Red Shadow's expansion threatens the entire Northeast Asia region – we cannot afford to ignore this ticking time bomb any longer.
