China has registered Arirang, a traditional Korean folk song, as part of its own national cultural heritage.
A signboard in Heilongjiang, China, even claims that Arirang was created by migrants from China’s Han Dynasty who moved to the Korean Peninsula and sang it out of longing for their homeland.
According to experts, this is part of China’s ongoing efforts to rewrite Korean history through its Northeast Project, a state-backed initiative led by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences that seeks to erase Korean history and absorb it into China’s own.
And it doesn’t stop with Arirang. China has also listed around 24 Korean cultural traditions, including kimchi-making, Pan-sori, Chuseok, and ssireum (traditional Korean wrestling), as part of its own cultural heritage.
