Foreign CEOs question Korea's policies
Many foreign chief executive officers agree with a description of Korea as being "hypocritical" and "schizophrenic" toward outsiders, a research institute found. One question, asked the CEOs if they agreed with a recent Financial Times description of Korea as being "hypocritical" and "schizophrenic" in its dealings with foreigners. Eighty-nine percent agreed, the survey said.

Korea's N-E Hub Plan Draws Fire
74% of Foreign CEOs Complain of Little Action on FDI
Seven out of 10 chief executives of foreign firms operating in South Korea said that a series of the Korean government's regulatory moves are not helping the country to become a financial hub of Northeast Asia.

You mean korea is not going to become the hub?? 
One other survey I'd like to see for the aforementioned CEOs of foreign companies in Korea;
What percentage wish they got posted to Bangkok, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur instead of Seoul?
Find the answer to those reasons and korea might be on the way to becoming a hub, but I figure they care little what these mere 'foreigners' have to say on the issue. |

The Hub?
I won't be surprised that Korea turns into the exhaust pipe of N.E. Asia.
Enough said.....  |

I've been saying this for what seems like years. Schizophrenia.
Now executive CEOs are saying it at almost a 90% rate. Users on this website try to dispell people who say such things as "idiots," yet the best and the brightest have essentially the same opinions about Korea's treatment and behavior towards foreigners. |

You mean Korea has a goal, an ideal, that they haven't made a reality yet? Shocking.
Kinda like Canadians blathering on and on about embracing diversity while the Native Americans commit suicide at, was that 8 times the national average? Or Americans...oh well. You know what I mean. |

What is the suicide rate of foreigners who hate living in Korea but hang on year after year in dead end English Teacher jobs because they can't find a better position anywhere else in the world? |

You can't blame the main populace when a socially retarted minority makes bad personal choices. |

By "anywhere else" you mean a country with a regulated educational system? |
