Recently, a piece of news about South Korea caught my attention - "Incheon is looking for a child". The attraction of the four big words of "asking for children with heavy money" is really not small, and I am no exception, and I understand that it is Incheon City, South Korea, in order to encourage childbirth, to subsidize 100 million won (about 550,000 yuan) for all newborns who give birth there. At first, I thought Incheon was a personal name.
It is said that you should not easily look things up on the Internet, and there is some truth to it. When I checked, I found that the recent problems in South Korea are like popcorn, one after another. Today, we're going to talk about what's really going on in South Korea
Let's first explain the matter of "asking for children with a lot of money". The reason why Incheon** has given a lot of money to encourage childbearing is because the latest data from South Korea shows that the total fertility rate of South Korea is 079。This means that the average Korean couple will only have 0The 79 children also indicate that South Korea's population will become smaller and smaller in the future, and the proportion of elderly workers will continue to rise.
It is important to know that population is the basis of the labor force, and a continuous population decline will certainly have a huge impact on South Korea's economy and development. The main reasons why young people in South Korea are reluctant to have children are fierce social competition, difficulty in finding employment, high housing costs, and safety problems for children.
The second piece of news about South Korea is "South Korea's bid failed." This should have been a mundane piece of news, and the failure to apply for the host city of the World's Fair does not mean anything. But three of the highlights have earned enough popularity, one is that Yin Xiyue** spent a lot of money to "travel around the world" in order to successfully bid for the Bo;Second, the voting result was a big surprise, with 165 valid votes and only 29 votes for South KoreaThe third is the "spicy eyes" Shenbo promotional video, which was complained by Korean netizens that "it is really powerful to get 29 votes in this way".
The essence of South Korea's failure to bid for the World Expo is the failure of Yoon Suk-yeol's diplomatic strategy. After Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, he tightly "circled" the United States and Japan and engaged in "values diplomacy" based on ideology, with the result that South Korea's international status is declining, being pushed to the edge of the international stage, and its sense of presence is getting lower and lower.
The third piece of news about South Korea is that "there is a deficit with China for the first time in 31 years." Unexpected, but reasonable. There are three main reasons: first, with the rise of China's industry and manufacturing technology, South Korea's local products have no advantage in China and are gradually being phased out;Second, South Korea's core industry is semiconductors, and Yoon Suk-yeol blindly cooperated with the United States' "core limit order" to China, resulting in a sharp decline in South Korea's semiconductor exports to ChinaThird, South Korea has scarce underground resources, and in the new energy vehicle industry, it is very dependent on China's automotive urea, which requires a large number of imports of lithium, nickel, cobalt and other raw materials from China.
The 180° reversal between China and South Korea shows that South Korea's economy is suffering a huge impact, and Yoon Suk-yeol's diplomatic strategy of blindly following the United States and Japan to confront China and Russia has failed.
The last piece of news about South Korea is that "the United States and South Korea plan to conduct nuclear military exercises next year." When I saw this news, my first reaction was "South Korea has a really big heart".
The DPRK is a very backward country, and due to the sanctions imposed by the United States and the West, it has adopted a very strict policy of closing the country to the outside world. However, what makes the United States and the West jealous is that North Korea has the world's leading technological level in nuclear power, and its nuclear reserves should not be underestimated. Today, the situation on the peninsula is so delicate and tense that South Korea, as a neighbor of North Korea, is constantly stimulating and aggravating friction between the two sides. Are you really not scared at all?
South Korea, do it for yourself.
