(Clearwisdom.net) On November 16, Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived in Seoul to attend the APEC conference (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation). In front of the hotel where Hu was staying, practitioners displayed a huge banner worded, "Hu Jintao, the time that Heaven and the people have given you is limited." In the afternoon, when Hu walked out the hotel, a Korean practitioner told Hu face-to-face, in Chinese, "Falun Gong, Falun Dafa is good." Perhaps Hu Jintao didn't expect to run into a practitioner so close, as he showed surprised and hurried into his limousine.

On the morning of the 16th, Hu Jintao met with Korean representatives from many different circles inside the hotel. Outside the hotel, there was a sea of protesters. Among the groups protesting for various causes, Falun Gong practitioners displayed huge banners which read, "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to Justice," "Bring all perpetrators of the persecution to Justice," among other messages. In addition, a very eye-catching banner was displayed: "Hu Jintao, the time that Heaven and the people have given you is limited."

Practitioner Huang Xiaoming, former swimming medallist and one of the top 5 swimming athletes in China, also participated in the peaceful protest. She told the reporter, "I hope that Hu will cherish his own future and welfare."
The Korean authorities brought in more than ten huge trucks to block the protest groups so that Hu wouldn't see them. In addition, the authorities also deployed many police officers to guard all the entrances to the hotel, and didn't allow reporters to take any photos. One officer told this reporter, We are very sorry. We know you are right and we know the truth of the persecution. However, we are pressured by the Chinese Communist regime to take these actions."
Upon seeing what was happening, using a megaphone, a Korean lawyer called on the police officers: "Nowadays people around the world are all supporting Falun Gong and protesting the CCP's [Chinese Communist Party] human rights violations. How can you treat these kindhearted people like this while the Korean government allowed human rights ruffian Bo Xilai to enter the border? It is a shame to Korea. Your interference to protesters has violated our own laws. I hope you won't disgrace our nation."
