Recognizing China’s position and concern on the issue of "Sade", South Korea clearly stated that the "Sade" system deployed in South Korea does not target a third country according to its original deployment purpose, that is, it does not harm China’s strategic security interests. From the standpoint of safeguarding national security, China reiterates its opposition to the deployment of the "Sade" system in South Korea. At the same time, China has taken note of the position expressed by the ROK and hopes that the ROK will properly handle relevant issues. The two sides agreed to communicate on issues related to "Sade" that China is concerned about through the channels of the two armies.
China has expounded the position and concerns of the South Korean government on building an anti-missile system, deploying "Sade" and military cooperation between South China and the United States. The ROK side once again stated the position previously publicly stated by the ROK government.
From the standpoint of safeguarding national security, China reiterates its opposition to the deployment of the "Sade" system in South Korea.

The two sides believe that strengthening exchanges and cooperation between the two countries is in the common interest of both sides and agree to promote exchanges and cooperation in various fields to return to the normal development track at an early date.
Is "Sade" an obstacle to cultural cooperation between China and South Korea? This was said at the press conference of the 19 th National Congress
On October 20, 2017, at 10: 00 am, the press center of the 19th National Congress held a press conference. Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, introduced the situation of strengthening ideological and moral and cultural construction to the participating Chinese and foreign media and answered questions from reporters. Among them, the South Korean reporter asked whether the cultural exchange between China and South Korea was affected by "Sade". Zhang Hongsen said that cultural exchange is not an ordinary commodity transaction or trade in goods, and it is related to people’s will and emotional choice.
The following is a transcript of the press conference:
Korea Jingxiang News Agency reporter:China recently issued a plan to protect the intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises. Are there any measures to protect intellectual property rights in industries such as TV dramas and publishing culture? Can you introduce the specific situation? In addition, after the conflict and friction caused by "Sade", the cultural industry cooperation between China and South Korea has also created obstacles. Can we expect positive exchanges between the two sides after the 19 th National Congress? Thank you.
Zhang Hongsen:These are two questions. Let me answer your first question first. I don’t know if you have noticed that there is a concept called "Sword Net Action" in the media reports in China. The General Administration, in conjunction with the Network Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and other departments, has continuously launched a special campaign to crack down on online infringement and piracy. The name of this campaign is called "Sword Network Action". The "Sword Network Action" includes various measures, such as investigating and dealing with network infringement and piracy cases, rectifying the copyright order in key areas, and promoting the cooperation of relevant copyright parties, which protects the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese and foreign intellectual property rights holders, including foreign enterprises, and effectively regulates the copyright order of the Internet. This action has been positively evaluated and fully affirmed by many overseas institutions such as the Motion Picture Association of America, international federation of the phonographic industry, the International Organization for Standardization, and the British and American Publishers Association.
In September 2017, we launched a special campaign of "Sword Net Action 2017". The focus of this special action is to increase the special protection of intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises. In various fields such as online film and television, music, animation, software, teaching materials, etc., the copyrights of platforms such as e-commerce and software application stores are mainly maintained, standardized and rectified. At present, this action is still in progress. We believe that with the development of this action, the rights and interests of domestic and foreign intellectual property rights holders will be more effectively protected and the order of copyright will be better regulated.
Let me answer the second question. I noticed that many China filmmakers were active at the just-concluded Busan International Film Festival. Within the scope of my business contacts, I have also observed that many exchange and cooperation projects between China and South Korea are also being carried out to varying degrees. What I want to emphasize here is that cultural exchange is not an ordinary commodity transaction or trade in goods. Cultural exchange is related to people’s wishes and emotional choices. Therefore, we say that cultural exchange is a communication with temperature, and this temperature comes from people’s hearts and emotions. People’s hearts are connected, and emotions are integrated. Cultural exchanges and cooperation will certainly develop in a positive direction. The depth and breadth of cultural exchanges depend on the temperature of emotions. This problem needs us to face and think together. Thank you.
