Also, if you look at the economy of Seoul, of South Korea, it's a very ossified, very corrupt system where just a few companies control the entire economy.
And this is what's led to intense competition in South Korea, which has led to the extremely low birth rate in South Korea.
So South Korea is in a very precarious position.
But what I will say about the South Koreans is that they are fanatical workers.
They work really, really hard.
And they have a long memory of colonial persecution from both the Chinese and the Japanese.
And these are fiercely independent people.
So I would not be surprised if
North Korea and South Korea were to come to a compromise at some point because both nations aspire for national reunification.
And because China and Japan will be in conflict with each other, then the Korean people could actually navigate this conflict to their benefit.
Yeah, great question.
So when you have a monopoly, what you do is you create a hierarchy, right?
Because everyone's trying to get into these companies because these companies are the most prestigious in South Korea.
And South Korea is very much a Confucian culture where faith is everything.
So the problem though is how do you get into these companies?
It's a very prestigious position where everyone's trying to get in, right?
And so you usually get in through the college entrance examination, which allows you to get into prestigious university.
Right.
So if you are a self-careing couple, your strategy is either not to have children because you can't afford to play this game because you need to send your kid to cram schools, get the best tutors, basically force all your resources on ensuring the child does well on the college examination so that he or she can get into Samsung.
Or you can choose not to have any children because it's too expensive for you.
