How did South Korea create the Miracle of the Han River ?

South Korea's economic development in recent decades has also been called the "Miracle of the Han River". However, behind this brilliant achievement, not many people still remember today that South Korea once had a disgraceful "nickname", that is, the "Republic of Accidents".

Han River? Something is wrong! "Seoul" has long been renamed, and the Han River is also going to be changed"Shoujiang" is right!!

Hello, what you mean by the miracle of the Han River is the rapid rise of South Korea's economy and its entry into the ranks of developed countries in the last century, right? In fact, South Korea's original miracle on the Han River was mainly due to two main factors: an export-oriented economic development strategy and the establishment of a democratic system and high efficiency.

According to the theory of economic growth, a country's economic development is mainly caused by the accumulation of labor and capital to accumulate stamina for economic development.

However, also according to the theory of economic growth, when a country's capital stock (total capital) accumulates to a certain extent (such as South Korea in developed countries), the contribution rate of newly increased capital flows to economic growth will gradually decrease, and the labor force has the same effect, so it is impossible for South Korea to promote rapid economic growth only by relying on labor and capital. Therefore, whether South Korea, as a developed country, can realize the miracle of the Han River again, depends on the degree of advanced technology and the speed of industrial renewal in the future, but I personally think that it is already difficult because it is already relatively advanced.

First of all, I would like to say that your question is a little sensitive, and some things may not be too direct.

Here's why:

1. The area of Chinese mainland is much larger than that of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Therefore, in terms of development, various regions must not be synchronized, that is, there is the so-called "the first rich drive the later rich", although in fact, many people who got rich first ran away with money;

2. China has 56 ethnic groups, which is much more difficult to manage than countries composed of single ethnic groups such as Japan and South Korea. As for Taiwan, although there are also ethnic minorities, after all, Taiwan is small in size, and it is still much easier to coordinate than China. It is difficult to eliminate ethnic barriers, so it is necessary to coordinate ethnic relations in order to develop steadily, and China has actually done a good job in this regard.

3. Institutional defects, which are the main reasons. There is no precedent for China to implement and develop the socialist system, in other words, there is no model. If capitalism is to be implemented, it can be compared to the United States and other Western countries, but there is no precedent for socialism, and the former Soviet Union has already collapsed.

Therefore, China is crossing the river by feeling the stones a lot of times, and it will inevitably encounter many problems of one kind or another. For example, the legal system is not perfect, democracy is not perfect, there is a lack of supervision by the authorities and departments, and corruption breeds.

4. Don't forget that we wasted ten years during the Cultural Revolution. Decade. What can you do in ten years, what other countries are doing in ten years, think for yourself.

5. Empty thoughts. Although we are a socialist country, there are very few people who really talk about Marx or anything in their minds. Most Chinese lack faith, so there is little cohesion.

It happens from time to time to do things that harm others and benefit oneself. Of course, this is also related to the degree of social development. As for why this happens, you know.

All in all, China is indeed very strong in general, and the world's economic strength is already the second. But when it comes to ordinary people, China needs to change too much.

The relocation of the capital is intended to "rise in the central part of the country".

After the 60s of the last century, on the ruins of the war, South Korea jumped from one of the poorest and backward countries in the world to one of the 11 most developed countries in the world through the efforts of a generation, creating the famous "Han River Miracle". However, the "Miracle of the Han River" is mainly concentrated in the capital and its surroundings, so some scholars say that the "Miracle of the Han River" is actually the "Miracle of Seoul". Since the 80s, Busan, located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, has developed rapidly through the development of a port economy.

In this way, South Korea has formed a pattern of two economic centers, Seoul and Busan, one north and one south. In contrast, the vast central part of South Korea has been neglected, leading to "emotional antagonisms" between regions.

Examples of achieving a balance in regional economic development through the relocation of the capital are not uncommon in the world. If the relocation of the capital of South Korea is successful, in a few years, South Korea may realize a new pattern of coordinated economic development in the northern, central, and southern regions of Seoul, Sejong, and Busan, as Brazil did.

The political game behind the relocation of the capital.

However, the road to moving the capital was not smooth. The game of various political forces that has emerged in South Korea on the issue of moving the capital reflects the basic characteristics of the country's political life as it moves from an era of authority to an era of democracy. In a country like South Korea, where the state is dominant, moving the capital can be said to affect the whole body, and it will change the power relations between South Korea and the redistribution of political, economic, and cultural resources.

As early as the 70s of the last century, the former ** Park Chung-hee was intimidated by the severity of the Cold War situation, believing that Seoul was not conducive to "avoiding war" and planned to build a new capital, but it was stranded due to differences between the government and the opposition.

At the end of 2003, the National Assembly overwhelmingly passed the New Executive Capital Act. However, the Shindu bill was quickly strongly criticized in South Korea. The opposition pointed out that Seoul has been the capital of all dynasties for more than 600 years, and the relocation of the capital may lead to a decline in South Korea's "international recognition" and hurt South Korea's political, economic and social bones.

Not only that, political groups opposed to the relocation of the capital filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court, ruling that the new capital bill passed by the National Assembly was unconstitutional. After the verdict was announced, South Korea was in turmoil. South Korea's largest opposition party applauded the verdict.

The Constitutional Court's decision was a slap in the face to Roh Moo-hyun's "relocation of the capital", but Roh Moo-hyun remained unmoved, and after reaching a compromise with the opposition parties on the positioning of the new administrative capital, Roh Moo-hyun continued to implement his plan to move the capital step by step. The naming of Sejong made the relocation of the capital an immutable fact.
