Restaurant named after Xi Jinping vandalised in South Korea, not Hong Kong

Wednesday, 30 September 2026, 06:21 · 1 min read

The request's premise is wrong: the only source describes an attack on a restaurant named after Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Seongnam, near Seoul, South Korea, with no link to Hong Kong or pro-Palestine activism. Police say four masked Chinese nationals smashed furniture and sprayed lacquer there on 24 September, causing about 15 million won ($11,100) in damage, then fled to China; police plan to seek Interpol red notices (requests to detain suspects pending extradition). The owner says the name carried no political intent, but he had faced a year of pressure to change it, and he is now considering a new name.
