SEOUL: South Korea's president stepped up criticism of China's ambassador on Tuesday , saying the envoy had been disrespectful in suggesting South Korea had made the wrong choice by siding with the United States against China.
President Yoon Suk-yeol made his disapproval clear in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, questioning Xing's approach as a diplomat.
