The Chinese Embassy in South Korea has issued a public advisory warning Chinese citizens in the country to remain vigilant and avoid political gatherings during the upcoming impeachment ruling of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, which is scheduled to be announced by the Constitutional Court on April 4.
The embassy noted that the ruling will likely trigger large-scale political rallies and demonstrations across South Korea. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of extreme or violent incidents during this period.
In response, South Korean police will deploy heightened security measures on April 4, designating certain areas of Seoul, including the Constitutional Court, as "Special Crime Prevention Zones."

- Stay alert and closely monitor local developments and security updates,

- Refrain from making or sharing political statements publicly or online,
- Minimize interactions that could lead to verbal or physical conflicts with locals,
