It turned out that the English version of Google in the United States indicated the origin of kimchi in China.
In a press release on the 5th, the cyber diplomatic mission VANK announced that the origin of kimchi is marked as’China’ in the part where the Google English site explains kimchi, and that it appears as’China’ in a search for the origin of kimchi. .
In fact, if you type’kimchi’ on Google this morning,’China’ appears in the’Place of Origin’ field on the right.
In addition, when I searched for’where is kimchi from?’ in the search box of this site, the Chinese flag (Oh Sung Hongki) and a map of China appeared.
On the other hand, the Google Korean site marked the source as’Korea’. “This gives us a glimpse of Google’s dual behavior,” Vank points out.
However, when VANK continued to send a letter of protest, Google deleted the item altogether, and the’source’ item itself is currently being serviced.
Vank CEO Park Ki-tae said, “It would be more wrong to delete the item itself without changing the source to’Korea’,” and “I will continue to protest until Google admits and corrects the mistake.”
VANK also filed a petition on the world’s largest petition site,’Change.O.org’ (http://maywespeak.com/kimchi).
