🇰🇷 SOUTH KOREA'S TOP 4 CONGLOMERATES HEAD TO CHINA TOGETHER

In a rare unified move, the CEOs of Samsung, SK Group, Hyundai, and LG will visit China together next year as an “economic envoy.”

🔍 Why This Matters:

✅ Competitors Uniting – Rare joint visit signals deep strategic alignment

✅ China’s Dual Role – Critical market + supply chain node for Korean tech

✅ Survival Over Politics – Business leaders choosing pragmatism over alliances

🏭 Key Connections:

· Samsung – Xi’an memory chip plant remains a global production hub

· Hyundai – Pushing EVs in China with local partners like CATL

· SK & LG – Collaborate and compete with Chinese battery giants

🇯🇵 Japan’s Unease:

Seen as a shift away from the US-Japan-Korea tech containment framework.

Japanese netizens are calling it a “break from the alliance,” with some even missing the more U.S.-aligned Yoon Suk-yeol era.

💡 The Big Picture:

Korean conglomerates are walking a tightrope:

🇺🇸 Security umbrella of the U.S.

🇨🇳 Economic necessity of China

They’ve chosen pragmatism over politics — a lesson in realpolitik for global business.
