The competition for hegemony between the US and China is already affecting the Korean national economy. The semiconductor problem is representative. In the future, it may be difficult for Korea to export semiconductors to China. The United States seems to see China's Achilles tendon as a semiconductor.
In this situation, we can guess the scenario based on the current situation. Isn't it strange that Samsung’s Lee Jae-Yong is in jail in a situation where the competition for supremacy between the US and China converges on the semiconductor issue?
Samsung’s governance structure is completely different from the story that professional managers are more correct. The world problem should not be interpreted as just one logic. This is because all of the world's affairs have a complex meaning of layers.
Samsung has a combination of problems. There are labor issues, fair economy issues, and governance issues. Each problem often has to be viewed from a different perspective.
In a situation where the US-China hegemony competition is converging to semiconductors, Samsung should recognize that the impact on the Korean national economy is important. Perhaps in this situation, whether or not Samsung cuts its semiconductor business with China is more important than any other matter. It could be much more important than issues like labor and governance.
If Samsung can't sell semiconductors to China, it might put China in trouble. In this case, the US may think it is advantageous, but Korea faces fatal difficulties. Economic relations between China and South Korea will be severely limited.
It is a fatal loss to sever relations with China from Samsung's position. But Samsung is being forced to go that way. The Korean government does nothing to protect Samsung's interests. Rather, it is highly likely to accept the suspension of exports of semiconductors to the US demanded by the United States as a condition of receiving a vaccine at the summit.
If the United States has been conceiving such a plan for a long time, it is not normal for Lee Jae-Yong to be in prison. From a conspiracy perspective, one might think that Lee Jae-Yong has already been put into a prison cell to force Samsung's decision. Of course, this is a presumption that can only be established if there is an assumption that the US breath worked for the Korean judiciary.
Considering that Yoon Seok-yeol was included in Park Young-soo's special prosecutor, and Hong Seok-Hyun was behind it, it is not possible to dismiss it as a conspiracy theory. From common sense, can Park Young-soo, who is from a prosecutor's office, catch Lee Jae-Yong like that? Without a corner of trust? Don't you know that it's not a job for Samsung to kill Park Young-soo?
In that way, Jae-Yong Lee seems to be still in the line of impeachment of Park Geun-Hye. Probably, Jaeyong Lee is likely to rot in prison until he pledged not to export semiconductors to China.
