South Korea's Lee wants to cut Japan trade gap
South Korea's Lee wants to cut Japan trade gap: report
From Japanese perspective, his aim must be the mission impossible because:
1. Inside of Korean high-tech products are made-in-Japan.
2. Industrial structure of South Korea fully compete with Japan as it was based on Japan-model. Not complementary relationship, and not cheap cost, either.
3. Made-in-Korea is widely known among Japanese consumers as pirate copy of Made-in-Japan. So nothing unique to us.
Thus, my suggestion to the new Korean president is
1. Focus on more development of soap opera as Japanese Oba-san love it.
2. Block imports from Japan and accelerate R&D to develop Korean-original products.
3. Seek niche market of Zainichi-Koreans to establish success story in the market.
Are there any other suggestion for the new President Lee Myung-bak?
South Korea's Lee wants to cut Japan trade gap: report
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak on Wednesday called for "fundamental measures" to reduce the country's chronic trade deficit with Japan.
The new SK government said that it has to find fundamental measures to overcome the trade deficit amounting to $30 billion annually with Japan.
South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy, had a trade surplus globally for the 10th year in a row last year but ran a $30 billion deficit with neighboring Japan.
South Korean manufacturers rely heavily on imports of Japanese machinery parts to produce goods ranging from ships and chips to home appliances and cars.
