- “Given the increasingly severe international situation, I believe we may truly be at a turning point in history,” Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya said at the start of the meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul. “That makes it even more important to overcome division and confrontation through dialogue and cooperation,” he added.
Yes i imagine the compradores/chaebols are very happy with that arrangement. The 99% of the people, eh not so much.

Democracy is when you live in the country with the highest suicide rate in the world and a corporate dystopia where union or communist organising is illegal.
The approval rating for the government, like all liberal “democracies” (none of them are democracies) is 36%. I could guess that it was lower than 50% before goggling it because it’s almost like a law of liberal democracy. The people don’t actually have any control over policy (which is always controlled by oligarchs in countries with parliaments). Once the election hype dies down, being betrayed becomes inevitable.
Also the chaebols were literally appointed by park chung hee, a military dictator 😂 their companies grew through state intervention by the military dictatorship
