    The winter wind in 2001 seemed to be more biting than in previous years, but it seemed a bit gentler than what South Korea had experienced this year.  Kim Dae-jung is somewhat of an extraordinary person. He has been an active spiritual symbol of democratic fighters during the reign of early South Korean dictators such as Syngman Rhee. He was even hailed as the "Mandela" of Asia - well, compared to the future  As far as the Chinese public is concerned, their combat effectiveness is unknown.  ¡°For this reason, he was a prison expert in South Korea¡¯s early days and was imprisoned for decades.  Until he was elected president of South Korea in 1998, how could such a figure not purge the government when he ascended to the throne of power?  ??Historically, he has been trying to transform the Korean government since 1998, and basically completed his vision by 2002.  It enhanced the power of the central government and introduced civilian politics into the mainstream. The country's budgetary power was in the hands of the central government, paving the way for South Korea's development to enter the fast lane.  South Korea¡¯s GDP in 1996 was US$573 billion. When the Asian financial crisis broke out, the total GDP in 1998 was only US$357.5 billion.  It was under such a severe situation that under the leadership of Kim Dae-jung, South Korea's GDP increased to US$561.8 billion in just two years in 2000.  It can be seen from this that Kim Dae-jung¡¯s transformation of the government was not without ceremony.  This guard of honor is his powerful boost to the country's economy.  By the time he stepped down as South Korea¡¯s president in 2003, South Korea¡¯s total GDP had reached a high of $680.4 billion. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Through reforms in the four major fields of finance, business, public sector and labor and management, South Korea has been under Kim Dae-jung's term.  It has completed the transformation from a low-end product export-oriented economy to an information-centered high-tech economy, and is recognized by the international community as a "top student" in overcoming the financial crisis.  It¡¯s just this ¡°top student¡±.  The current situation is not very good.  "This damn weather." Park Tae-soon, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of South Korea, waited for his secretary to push open the door of the State Affairs Adjustment Office building.  He tightened his clothes.  Walked in quickly.  It's already 8:56. If it's not faster, we will be late for this morning's cabinet meeting.  The corridors of the office building were quiet along the way. Today's cabinet meeting was not arranged in the presidential residence, but in the State Affairs Adjustment Room. This made Park Taishun a little worried.  But he didn¡¯t have much time to think. He had already arrived at the door of the conference room designated for the meeting, so he had no choice but to open the door and walk in.  "Taishun is here, sit down quickly." "Prime Minister Handong. Why is today's cabinet meeting placed in the State Affairs Adjustment Office? Is it" "Don't think too much." Lee Handong, one of the founders of the Democratic Justice Party of Korea  1. He has served as the Prime Minister of South Korea since May 2000 and is Kim Dae-jung¡¯s right-hand man.  Overall, he is also a very capable person.  He has a high status in the cabinet, second only to Kim Dae-jung.  Li Handong pointed to the seat next to him and said to Park Taishun: "Taishun, you sit here, today's discussion is more important. I need you to provide some explanation of the situation." "Yes." Park Taishun sat next to him in fear.  Not long after, Jin Dazhong, who was already a little old, walked into the conference room. This old man was already 77 years old.  Years of struggle and prison life had destroyed his health.  in 2000.  He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his sunshine policy towards North Korea, and it seems that he has no regrets in life.  "Our citizens are all good citizens!" Kim Dae-jung said with emotion as soon as he took his seat: "The country was hit by the financial crisis in the past two years. Many citizens donated gold to the country, and some were newlyweds.  The couple stopped traveling abroad and exchanged their US dollars for the depreciating Korean won. These efforts have allowed our Korean economy to survive the most difficult period. " "Everyone,  I would like to ask if we can face this trust calmly? The recent 911 incidents in the United States are gradually revealing their past effects. In my opinion, the most serious crisis is that it has cleared the way for China to join the World Trade Organization.  How competitive are our Korean products compared with Chinese products? This is the question I want to hear the answer to today. Please discuss it. " Lee Handong is Kim Dae-jung's assistant. The prime minister is originally the organizer and actual leader of the cabinet.  who.  After Kim Dae-jung set the tone, the task of presiding over the meeting naturally fell on him.  "Everyone, let's talk about it." His eyes first fell on Park Taishun, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and he named him: "Taishun, please tell me. In which industries will the competition between South Korea and China occur?  " Park Taishun pursed his lips and thought for no more than a minute before saying: "As far as I know, China has all industrial categories, so with all due respect,All industries owned by our country will be industries that compete with China.  Among them, South Korea's electronics industry, shipbuilding industry, tire industry, synthetic fiber textile industry, automobile industry and steel production are currently the pillar industries of our country.  It can be said that in the international market of these industries, our country is likely to face competition from China.  " "Then do our products have any advantage over the competition?  " "I suggest that our country give up competing with China in the field of crude steel and only retain the production of high value-added special steel, because we basically have no advantage in this field.  In China, both material and labor costs are much lower than those in South Korea.  Therefore, it can be expected that after China joins the WTO, crude steel production will experience explosive growth.  No country in the world can compete with China in this regard.  " "The same goes for the synthetic fiber and textile industries. We in South Korea have no way to compete with China in the mid- to low-end markets. It is best to focus on developing high-end markets and design and brand strategies.  " "The automobile industry is much better. I don't see China's automobile industry threatening the prospects of our Korean automobile industry in a few years.  " "Similarly, the situation in the tire industry is similar. Our Korean companies can still support each other.  " "The most pessimistic situation now is the electronics industry and shipbuilding industry, which we had high hopes for before" "As for these two industries, I think I'd better ask Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Science and Technology.  Park Taishun kicked the ball and said: "The competitiveness of electronic products ultimately depends on technical capabilities. Whether our country's technology is more advanced than China's, Minister Jiang has more say than I do."  Because China has not yet joined the WTO, the data in my hand may not accurately reflect the actual situation.  " Li Handong nodded, as if he recognized Park Taishun's statement. He looked at Minister Jiang Zaiqing of the Ministry of Science and Technology and asked: "Zaiqing, how much do you know about the situation in China?  " "Electronics industry" Jiang Zaiqing's face was a bit ugly. He pushed up the glasses on his nose and remained silent for longer than Park Taishun. "Jiang Zaiqing is a "turtle" who was sent by South Korea to study in the United States in the 1980s to study electronic technology.  In his mind, the electronics industry in the United States is very powerful. Of course, with his support, South Korea¡¯s electronics industry will one day surpass the United States in technological achievements. But for now, there is still a certain gap between South Korea and the United States.  "I would like to say that our country is more competitive in the electronics industry, but I am afraid that is not the case.  Moreover, after a situation occurs, we in South Korea are likely to face a situation where the city gate is on fire and the fish in the pond is affected.  " "I don't know if you have heard of Fanhan Group?  " "Fanhan Group?  I remember it was a Chinese company, producing¡ª¡ª" The Minister of Culture and Tourism thought for a moment and said, "By the way, it's that MP3, right?  Their products are good, but unfortunately the patent rights and our Korean company have never been able to reach an agreement, and our company cannot produce such interesting products.  " "Yes, that's the company.  In fact, MP3 is nothing to Fanhan Group.  " Jiang Zaiqing said: " Fanhan Group is a much stronger company than it appears in the terminal market. It can be said that it has completed the entire industry chain of chip manufacturing in one company.  At this point, it is not wrong to regard it as the world's largest semiconductor company.  Technically, in the past three years, Fanhan Group has been involved in almost all technological developments in the semiconductor industry.  This is a company that can compete with Intel, Microsoft, and even IBM. I'm afraid we are no match.  " "And I noticed that Minister Park Taishun did not mention the shipbuilding industry before.  I know a little bit about this.  "It seems that Jiang Zaiqing was not satisfied with Park Taishun's behavior of kicking the ball, so he joined his army. "Before 1997, the transfer of Japanese shipbuilding industry to our country was very obvious, and the shipbuilding industry was also a pillar industry of our country's heavy industry.  But after 1997, the whole thing became completely different.  Our country's current total shipbuilding capacity is not even 10% of the world's new tonnage, and 70% of the remaining 90% is currently in China.  As far as the shipbuilding industry is concerned, one company, the Bohai Shipbuilding Industry Group in China's Bohai Province, has now reached four times the country's total output.  " "Minister Park Taishun, is this true?  "Li Handong frowned and glared at him. "Pretend, keep pretending!  Park Taishun's face changed, and he suddenly realized that he might be in big trouble today. Li Handong arranged for him to be next to him, which was clearly a trap for him. "Prime Minister, please listen to my explanation. The Chinese have emerged in shipbuilding technology."  A breakthrough was achieved by applying a technology called segmented shipbuilding.  With this technology, shipbuilding costs and time can be reduced to a fraction of what they were in the past!  Our Korean shipping companies have no way to deal with it!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster.!?¡­
