Foreign Businesses Shunning Korea
Chosun Ilbo (June 25, 2007)

| The government came out with a so-called �balanced national development� plan that runs counter to global trends and imposed regulations after regulations against foreign businesses seeking to obtain factory space. Fickle economic policies, militant unions, complicated authorization procedures and backward education and living conditions haven�t changed at all over the last five years. The Incheon, Busan and Gwangyang free economic zones, which had claimed to be a Northeast Asian "hub", were able to bring in only 34 cases of foreign direct investment over the last five years. Since it was launched in 1990, the Shanghai free economic zone was able to attract 2,646 instances of FDI, which is 80 times more than what Korea was able to achieve. And because of the government, which has been shouting out that it has not done anything wrong, Korea is being branded as an investment risk zone. |

And what part of that is NOT news, current events or political discussion?
What part relates specifically to something like where is the local e-mart, finding shirts that fit or dating the girl next door (living here stuff)?
