Suddenly, there has been a controversy over China’s ‘kimchi successor’.
Let’s see what it is and if it is really related to our Kimchi state.
In China, there are foods written like ‘pao chai’ and ‘pochae’ in Chinese characters.
It is a kind of pickled vegetable native to the Sichuan province.
Salt, pepper leaves, coriander, etc. they are put in water and boiled, then various vegetables are added to the cooled juice and fermented.
It has almost no lactobacillus, so it is clearly distinct from our kimchi and quite similar to pickles.
Recently, a controversy arose when China acquired the international standard for Pao Chai through the International Organization for Standardization, ISO.
These are different, but the reason why the acquisition of this international standard was controversial, the sister magazine of People’s Daily, a Chinese state media, published this post on the account of the Chinese portal Baidu.
“China led the setting of international standards for Pao Chai, and the Korean media was angry, saying it was the humiliation of the country where kimchi was born.”
It was not written directly by Hwangu Times.
The ‘watcher network’ in China is an online community operated by the media and a space where people can write, but it is a copy of the article published here.
Added to this was a somewhat exhilarating “title business.”
If you look at the title, there is room for it to be that the Korean media got mad at this incident, saying it was the humiliation of the country where kimchi was born.
Turns out it was just the headline of our press in January 2018.
At that time, the expression used by the Korean media to say that there were many Chinese kimchi on the market was “the humiliation of the creator of kimchi”, and they used it as a title as if it were a reaction to the acquisition of this international standard.
Considering the facts, China’s acquisition of the international standard Pao Chai has nothing to do with our kimchi.
Kimchi was already established as an international standard in 2001 by an organization dependent on the United Nations.
In fact, Pao Chai’s registration of ISO international standards clearly states that the food standard does not apply to ‘Kimchi’.
China calls our kimchi ‘Korean Pao Chai’.
It is a kind of location of names.
Sometimes we also describe pickled vegetables from abroad this way, ‘German Kimchi’, but that doesn’t mean we are the originals.
The problem is that in some parts of China, he claims that Pao Chai moved to Korea in the past and became the origin of kimchi.
This is the reason why there is an opinion that a line should be drawn and responded to the invasion of cultural relativism in a situation where similar themes were mentioned in Hanbok and Arirang.
