Invest 48.6 billion yuan, just want to surpass China? South Korea simply cannot afford to fight

South Korea is a small state, afraid of power but not virtuous, restrained and courteous but not righteous! How can you compete with me in China?

The reason why South Korea has become a developed country in Asia is largely due to the support of the United States. The essence of the reason why the United States is willing to support South Korea is to make South Korea a pawn in its struggle for advantages on the Asian map.

In the early days of South Korea's economic development, the United States provided a large amount of economic assistance and investment to help South Korea establish a modern industrial system. South Korea's auto industry, for example, owes much of its success to the support of the United States. The U.S. auto company has set up a joint venture in South Korea, which not only brings advanced technology and management experience, but also helps the Korean auto company open up the international market. Subsequently, South Korea's semiconductor, shipbuilding and other industries also grew up with the support of the United States.

Or our old Chinese saying is good, everyone will run, and the mountains will fall! In recent years, the United States has been tired of dealing with all kinds of troubles, which has slowed down the overall development of its younger brother South Korea.

Earlier, South Korea** said that in the last report two years ago, South Korea also scored 80The score of 1 point is slightly ahead of China's 80 points. And if you only look at the 50 national strategic technologies, China will score 86 in 20225 points, while South Korea only has 817. China's advantages are more obvious.

From the description we can extract the following information:

In the report two years ago, South Korea scored 801 point, China scored 80 points.

Among the 50 national strategic technologies, China scored 86 in 20225 points, South Korea scored 817 points.

South Korea is narrowly ahead of China in semiconductors, power batteries and hydrogen.

In the other nine areas, South Korea lags behind China.

South Korea has a clear gap with China in the aerospace, ocean, and quantum fields.

Combining the above information, we can draw the following conclusions:

In terms of comprehensive scores, China's score has surpassed that of South Korea, and it has obvious advantages in 50 national strategic technologies (865 - 81.7 = 4.8 points).

Although South Korea still maintains a slight lead in some specific areas (semiconductors, power batteries and hydrogen), this advantage is not significant.

In most other areas (9 areas), South Korea lags behind China, especially in the three areas of aerospace, ocean, and quantum, and the gap between Korea and China is large.

Therefore, based on the above data and analysis, it can be considered that China is ahead of South Korea as a whole in the competition of national strategic technologies, and this leading trend is reflected in many fields.

State-to-state competition is mainly embodied in scientific and technological competition. In order to surpass China in the overall technology industry, South Korea recently spent 9 trillion won (about 48.6 billion yuan).

According to South Korea, South Korea is ready to join hands with three shipbuilding giants, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Marine, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Hanwha Marine, to expand South Korea's "leading edge" in shipbuilding industry technology and master the technology with a "super gap" in the shipbuilding field.

When Chun Gongzi saw this investment intensity, he laughed out loud! In the field of science and technology, China's Huawei has invested more than 100 billion yuan in R&D every year, and for many years in a row.

China's specific R&D investment data in the shipbuilding industry is not directly disclosed, but it is certain that the R&D investment intensity of Chinese shipbuilding companies generally exceeds that of South Korea, and some companies even exceed Japan.

China's shipbuilding industry occupies an important position in the international market and has maintained the world's largest market share for many years. This shows that China's shipbuilding industry is investing heavily in technology research and development to maintain its competitiveness in the global market. In 2022, the total amount of research and experimental development (R&D) investment in China reached 30,782900 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 101% and 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).54%。Although these figures include R&D investment in all industries, they can reflect the importance that China places on technological innovation and R&D.

Whether from the perspective of national policies, market space and talent base, it is only a matter of time before South Korea lags behind China in science and technology.

In terms of policy, China** has implemented a series of policy support for scientific and technological development, including the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal to 2035, as well as the previous "Made in China 2025" plan, which aims to promote China's transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.

Market space: China has the world's largest consumer market, and the huge consumer market not only allows us to experiment and make mistakes, but also cultivates excellent companies in the industry, such as Huawei and BYD.

Talent echelon: Talent is the core of scientific and technological innovation. China has a huge talent pool, especially in the field of science and technology. China's strong investment in education, as well as the rapid development of universities and research institutions, have provided a steady stream of talent support for scientific and technological innovation.

Based on the above brief analysis, the 21st century will inevitably belong to the era of China's leading world. South Korea simply cannot afford to fight
