Why are these people going on strike?
The reason for the strike is not complicated, that is, the South Korean government kneels down to Japan, licks the wounds of ordinary people, the economy is depressed, the property market collapses, and Koreans point the finger at Japan for discharging nuclear waste water. There are many demands of the Korean people, but they can be summarized as follows: preventing Japan from discharging nuclear waste water, protecting the interests of domestic fishermen, raising the minimum wage, expanding public medical services, canceling the 69-hour working day, preventing karoshi and so on.
Yonhap News Agency said that the goals of the democratic trade union strike include preventing the government from cracking down on trade unions and amending the trade union law, preventing Japanese nuclear pollution from being discharged into the sea, raising the minimum wage and guaranteeing the living wage, canceling privatization and raising public expenditure, strengthening the government's responsibility, expanding public medical care and nursing benefits, preventing workers from overworking and increasing the punishment for major corporate disasters, and ensuring freedom of speech, assembly and demonstration.
Judging from these slogans, the purpose of this Korean attack is extremely aimed at Yin Xiyue. At present, the Korean economy is in recession, and the lives of many ordinary people are not guaranteed. China has always been Korea's largest trading partner. However, with Yin Xiyue's blind inclination to the United States, the China policy dropped sharply, which seriously affected the trade cooperation between the two countries. Besides. In order to please Japan, Yin Xiyue took experts to visit the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, clearing the way for Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge plan.
The strike was huge and caused great controversy.
The strike of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions has affected many industries, especially manufacturing and service industries. Trade unions in many key sectors participated in the strike, which hindered the production of enterprises and brought difficulties to the economy. Factories closed, traffic was interrupted, hospitals and service institutions closed, which seriously affected people's lives and economic activities.
South Korean police are waiting. In view of the fact that the Democratic Labor Union will hold a large-scale rally of 40,000 people in the center of Seoul from the 6th of this month to 15, it is decided to invest about 9,300 police officers to deal with it severely. On the 3rd, Seoul police banned some rallies and processions of the Democratic Labor Union at 5-8 pm on the grounds of reducing the inconvenience of citizens. The Seoul police said that they will take severe measures against illegal acts such as violence, occupying roads and maliciously making noise.
It seems that the demands of the working class are unpretentious, but the Korean government estimates that none of them can be done.
Let's talk about the discharge of nuclear waste water into the sea in Japan. In fact, TEPCO secretly discharged it into the Pacific Ocean from 20 1 1, the second month after the Fukushima nuclear leak. Tens of thousands of tons of nuclear waste water were first discovered in South Korea. They pointed out that the radioactive elements in nuclear waste water exceeded the standard by hundreds of times on average, and the radiation level of some test samples even exceeded the safety standard by tens of thousands of times. At that time, Korean experts led the media to beat up Reservoir Dogs. At that time, President Moon Jae in shouted from a distance and resolutely opposed Japanese pollution. Even in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, men were taken to dig coal and women were brought to comfort. Since then, Japan has kept a low profile, but the act of stealing sewage has never stopped. It is conservatively estimated that nuclear waste water has been discharged at least five times, and every time it was scolded by the Korean media.
This change comes from the coming to power of Yin Xiyue's government. In March of this year, South Korean President Yin Xiyue announced that he would repay Japan's World War II war reparations, and he was still openly bowing to the Japanese flag. Yin Xiyue's operation directly whitewashed Japan, and the Japanese government not only did not have to apologize to the Korean people, but even did not have to pay compensation.
Later, forced by domestic pressure, Japan was allowed to discharge pollutants into the sea, which aroused the national sentiment of some Koreans. At that time, some people took to the streets to ask Yin Xiyue to step down, but most people were not affected, so the protest effect was very limited. However, with the completion of the sewage tunnel, the Korean people finally couldn't sit still, and they began to snap up salt and seafood. It took only seven days to push up the price of sea salt by more than 27%, which explained their psychological fear of Resident Evil with practical actions.
Yin Xiyue's government has offended all neighboring countries since it took office, and has no political wisdom.
In order to target China, many senior Korean officials even personally attacked the ambassador to China. Earlier, when our ambassador to South Korea met with Li Zaiming, leader of the Democratic Party, he said:
Thirty years ago, some people bad-mouthed China and threw out the so-called China collapse theory. Thirty years later, China proved the mistakes of those people with solid achievements. Those who lose the bet on China now will definitely regret it in the future.
The original intention is to hope that the Korean government can handle its relations with China without foreign interference. The United States tried its best to suppress China. South Korea should take a good look at the situation, but in the eyes of South Korean officials, this has become a distortion of the facts. Subsequently, South Korean President Yin Xiyue, South Korean Prime Minister Han Dezhu and South Korean Foreign Minister issued strong condemnation, and even some South Korean lawmakers claimed to expel the ambassador to China. These are all absurd moves made by Yin Xiyue to please Biden.
Yin Xiyue pushed China-ROK relations to danger regardless of public opinion. Can she really sit firmly on the presidency? More ironically, Yin Xiyue criticized the poor performance of the last President Moon Jae in in public. When 400,000 people were forced into the palace, Moon Jae in took this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to fight back, and issued a document explaining his own peninsula policy. He also said that peace is the most needed situation on the peninsula at present, and alluded to Yin Xiyue's policy by not naming names, which laid a hidden danger for South Korea's economy and national security. Judging from the current situation of the Korean people, it seems that this wave of Moon Jae in has won again.
Yin Xiyue is pro-American and anti-China, and South Korea's GDP is squeezed out of the top ten.
"Korea is one of the top ten economic powers in the world" is the favorite label emphasized by senior Korean government officials and experts. But unfortunately, now South Korea is getting farther and farther away from the "top ten". On June 5438+02, the Bank of Korea announced the country's nominal gross domestic product (GDP) and other data. According to the market exchange rate of the day, the GDP of South Korea in 2022 was $65,438 +0.67 trillion, ranking three places lower than the previous tenth, and the global ranking was 13.
Some analysts said that the strike issue may only be the first problem faced by Yin Xiyue's government. Yin Xiyue blindly followed American policy regardless of national interests, and people's rights were completely ignored. In this case, the South Korean government may face a greater crisis.
