Why are Japan and South Korea willing to be America's little brothers? In 2021, China's car exports will be about 2 million, which is basically equivalent to South Korea, but South Korea is almost entirely Hyundai-Kia

Why are Japan and South Korea willing to be America's little brothers? In 2021, China's automobile exports are about 2 million vehicles, which is basically equivalent to South Korea, but South Korea is almost completely independent brands such as Hyundai Kia, while China has foreign companies such as Tesla, and there are some joint ventures, even if the domestic production rate of independent brand cars, parts and components is lower than that of Korean companies. More importantly, South Korea's record for exporting more than 3.8 million vehicles has now fallen to nearly half, mainly because Hyundai Kia has transferred production capacity overseas, and Hyundai Kia Group's global sales are about 7 million units, compared with about 1.5 million units in China, and overseas sales are about four times that of China. This is basically the case in Japan, where the annual sales of cars are about four or five million, while the global market is more than 20 million.

That is to say, just one automobile industry, Japan and South Korea are heavily dependent on overseas markets, as are other industries such as electronics, and who is the main control of overseas markets? Of course, it is the United States, the United States not only controls the United States market, but also controls the market of many other countries, just look at Huawei's encounter to understand.

Japan and South Korea not only rely heavily on overseas markets for exports, grain, oil, and various commodities also rely heavily on imports, the grain self-sufficiency rate is very low, and because Japan is an island country, South Korea is a peninsula, imports rely heavily on shipping, so who basically controls the global sea? Of course, it is the United States, and the purchase of commodities is basically settled in US dollars.

It can be said that the import and export of Japan and South Korea are heavily dependent on overseas, and it can even be said that it is extremely dependent, and foreign automobile sales are four or five times that of China, which is simply a miracle in economic history, the essence is that Japan and South Korea are heavily dependent on the United States, without the United States, there is absolutely no Japan and South Korea today.

If Chinese auto companies sell 100 million vehicles overseas, about four times the domestic market, it must be crazy, because the annual sales of the world are now less than 100 million, while the global sales of japanese and South Korean auto companies are about 30 million, accounting for about one-third of the world.

If I were Japanese, or Korean, I would be very grateful to the United States, this is the United States to appreciate food, do not think that there is a truly open market economy in this world, can achieve free competition, the United States trade war with China, science and technology war, has fully demonstrated the cruelty of this world, Japan in the eighties and nineties also personally tasted the iron fist of american fathers.

The basic principle of economics and trade is reciprocal balance, I buy you as many things as I want, I allow you to set up a factory in my home, you want to allow me to set up a factory in your home. Japan and South Korea are very strong in nationalism and pursue a policy of being the only one in the same place, so it is very difficult for goods and capital from other countries to enter Japan and South Korea, but the goods and capital of Japan and South Korea have entered other countries in a big way, and it is said that Japan's overseas assets are basically equivalent to their own GDP, and South Korea is also following Japan in this regard. Investing overseas, the biggest risk is political risk, if the assets are swallowed up by the host country, it will be a chicken and egg, Japan and South Korea can invest in overseas, mainly with the United States escort.

Therefore, from the import of commodities such as grain and oil, from the export of industrial products such as automotive electronics, to the large-scale overseas investment of Japan and South Korea, they are extremely dependent on the United States, and even completely tied to the United States. Japan and South Korea also know the harm of relying heavily on the United States, and some people also want to balance and engage in independence, but most of them end up in a very miserable situation, as long as the United States extends a small finger, it can hold Japan and South Korea down.

Therefore, Japan and South Korea are the most iron allies of the United States, closer to those European relatives, better controlled, Biden said that Japan and South Korea are the core interests of the United States, which is to say the big truth, in the emotional Ansak people recently, in the interests of Japan and South Korea are the most recent with the United States. We should not have any illusions about Japan and South Korea, preferring to believe that Britain would betray the United States, rather than that Japan and South Korea would betray the United States, that the economy of Japan and South Korea is seriously deformed, and that it is the best natural follower of the United States, just like the emperor and the eunuch.
