A former South Korean prime minister has told The Epoch Times that he believes that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is influencing South Korea’s government and is behind a surge in Chinese immigrants.

Hwang Kyo-ahn, a former South Korean prime minister who spoke last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas, said through an interpreter that his country’s normally strict immigration rules have been relaxed to allow more Chinese into the country.
